" AI for Science " (AI4S) is a new scientific research paradigm that deeply integrates AI technology with scientific research to promote the discovery of new knowledge and the solution of scientific problems. As the application of AI4S in the natural sciences and humanities and social sciences advances, its development line, opportunities and challenges, needs and tasks, and ways of realization deserve further discussion. In order to advance AI4S research, promote scientific and technological (S&T) innovation and progress, and facilitate the effective strengthening of the discipline of information resources management, our journal has invited seven experts to organize this academic conversation on AI4S. 1) Supporting knowledge services for AI4S: In the current landscape of intelligent knowledge services, the requirements for supporting AI4S have increased, including the need for multi-level knowledge discovery and acquisition, cross-disciplinary research and innovation, and user-friendly participatory services. In addition, knowledge service scenarios are moving towards diversification, complexity, depth, specialization, and personalization in ubiquitous knowledge discovery, generative content services, and multi-round interactive service exploration. In response, professional science and technology information organizations need to reassess the role of knowledge services in the AI4Science environment and their significance in comprehensively supporting the S&T innovation process. This involves establishing a broad literature perspective, deepening full-text knowledge elements, balancing universal and specialized depth, autonomously developing core products, and deeply engaging with professional fields to support interdisciplinary innovation. 2) Building the knowledge base of AI4S: The essence of artificial intelligence (AI) lies in the acquisition and use of knowledge, and scientific and technological (S&T) literature is the primary carrier of human knowledge. Fully recognizing the paradigm shift in scientific research brought about by AI, the Document Information Center of the China Academy of Sciences has proposed the concept of building a S&T literature knowledge base for AI4S. It is actively exploring the scientific knowledge and high-quality data contained in the S&T literature, strives to build a domain intelligent knowledge base for AI4S, and transforms the "S&T literature database" into a "scientific knowledge engine" that supports intelligent services such as query evidence, situational awareness, inference prediction, and generation of insights required by AI4S. 3) Powering AI4S with scientific data: Effective aggregation of scientific data is the foundation for unleashing the powerful capabilities of AI4S. This is essential for libraries to adapt their roles and functions in the AI era and is a crucial prerequisite for catalyzing the transformation of scientific research services, deepening scientific research support, and accelerating S&T innovation. Currently, libraries face various macro and meso challenges in effectively aggregating valuable scientific data to provide support for AI4S. To address these challenges, the following ways can be pursued: defining the roles and functions of libraries in scientific data management; promoting a conducive environment for scientific data management; establishing a collaborative network for scientific data management; and enhancing the service capacity of scientific data management. 4) AI4S and intelligent language modeling for classical literature: AI4S technology can be used to analyze documents and texts, enabling a faster and more comprehensive understanding of a vast amount of historical documents and cultural materials. The development of intelligent language modeling for classical literature represents a significant breakthrough in the field of ancient literature research, bringing new opportunities and challenges. With the increasing popularity of multimodal and generative GPT models in the context of AI4S, the intelligent language modeling of classical literature will focus on integrating diverse information, enhancing adaptability, improving knowledge representation, and addressing a wider range of application scenarios. 5) Library Digital Scholarly Services for AI4S: The concept of using LLM-based AI4S and AIGC to drive the development of smart libraries is consistent with the vision for digital scholarly services in libraries, and presents both opportunities and challenges. Given the trends towards AI4S platformization and the characteristics of "middle-end" digital scholarly service, as well as the longstanding tradition of libraries in serving scholarly research, the reengineering path for the library's digital scholarly services platform includes three approaches: building an AI4S service platform independently, purchasing and utilizing third-party AI4S platforms, and promoting embedded knowledge services as a component of scientific intelligence. This innovative approach addresses the dilemmas of financial resources, human resources, cognitive and practical gaps, and emphasizes the importance of user needs in the AI4S environment. It also focuses on knowledge organization and service delivery to meet user needs in the AI4S landscape. 6) Historical evolution and logical structure of the scientific intelligence paradigm (AI4S): AI4S is a scientific paradigm change dominated by the full application of AI technology to various disciplines, and its logical structure includes "data+model"-driven, knowledge ecology created by machine conjecture, and application scenarios expanded by algorithmic thinking. In the era of digital civilization, AI4S-driven scientific progress and social development must carry forward the value of science and technology for the good, effectively select the theoretical arguments and proposals for extending AI4S to the field of social sciences and humanities, and improve the series of mechanisms for integrating human decision-making and machine intelligence. 7) Development opportunities and prospects of AI4S in the era of generative AI: With the advances in generative AI, pre-training algorithms and large-scale pre-trained models have provided significant opportunities for AI4S in various disciplinary domains. These technologies have shown immense potential and value for applications in diverse fields such as industrial inspection, robotics, and medicine. Additionally, it is crucial to emphasize the importance of key factors such as the constraints of technical implementation conditions for large pre-trained models, the sustainability of data/computing resources, and the transparency, fairness, and accessibility of the technology.

[Purpose/Significance] The construction of a reading promotion standard system is the key to achieving the standardization and professional development of reading promotion. The construction of standardized reading promotion is based on reading theory, and aims to make reading promotion a standardized service with scientific theoretical guidance, constrained by the values and ethics of libraries, and with clear service purposes and target groups. From the perspective of high-quality development, the construction process of the standardized reading promotion system also reflects the development level of the "people-centered" library of the new era, which is of great significance. [Method/Process] Aiming to conduct a systematic and comprehensive investigation of the existing reading promotion standards in China and to promote the research and practice of reading promotion standards and evaluation in China, this report comprehensively collects the relevant standards in the library field issued in China before 2024, and screens out the standards related to reading promotion. By counting the drafting units, responsible agencies and types, and analyzing the content of the standards, this report reviews the construction of the reading promotion standard system in China. [Results/Conclusions] Standardized reading promotion work in China began to take shape during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, and is now gradually gaining momentum and entering a new stage of rapid and high-quality development. The major achievements include: first, a standardized reading promotion system has been established for the first time, with an increasing number of relevant standards and the gradual introduction of specific local standards; second, public libraries have played a leading role in the standardized construction of reading promotion, demonstrating continuous professional expertise in the field; third, local standards have shown great effectiveness, fully absorbing and transforming many innovative experiences in reading promotion work; and fourth, many important and practical issues in reading promotion are reflected and addressed in the standard texts, with an increasing emphasis on demand and effectiveness orientation. Accordingly, this report puts forward a number of recommendations for the future construction of the reading promotion standard system, including: strengthening the launch of national and industry standard construction projects for reading promotion, continuously developing specialized standards for reading promotion, strengthening the integrated application of standards related to reading promotion, and promoting the participation of various disciplines in standard construction.

[Purpose/Significance] This article attempts to establish a scientifically effective set of management standards, create a standardized workflow, and fully consider the role of the artificial intelligence generated content (AIGC) in the standardized management of reading promotion. It aims to build a management standard for reading promotion that is in line with the high-quality development of libraries in the new era, and to provide policy guidance for comprehensively improving the efficiency of reading promotion work. [Method/Process] There are a total of 10 national and industry standards that include relevant descriptions of reading promotion in the existing standards. In addition, regions such as Zhejiang and Anhui have formulated local reading promotion standards based on practical considerations. However, most of the existing standards predominantly approach reading promotion mainly from the perspective of reader services, and lack the perspective of managers. This article fills this gap by examining the role of the AIGC in the standardized management of reading promotion, extracting the essential elements of standardized management for reading promotion, and constructing a standardized management system that encompasses the entire process of reading promotion. [Results/Conclusions] The standardized management of reading promotion is a feasible and scalable system that includes three aspects: the strategic level, the implementation level, and the resource level. The tasks of the strategic level mainly include setting management goals, coordinating the establishment of various management documents, adjusting organizational structures, providing implementation guidance, and coordinating the sharing and use of various resources. The implementation level is the core link in achieving the management goals for reading promotion and systematically advancing the management work. This includes understanding, implementing, evaluating, and supervising the standardized management of reading promotion. The resource level, considered from an applied perspective, aims to provide comprehensive resource support for the implementation of reading promotion work and management, including organizational resources, literature resources, technological resources, digital resources, and financial resources needed for reading promotion work. The standardized management of reading promotion must incorporate the five basic elements of management subjects, objects, goals, methods, and culture, while fully considering the management changes brought about by the AIGC environment and new technologies. The future standardized management of reading promotion should emphasize strategic management, increase technological investment, emphasize skill enhancement, optimize process management, and strengthen support systems.

[Purpose/Significance] With the continuous development of modern society towards information, intelligence, and networking, a new reading mode - social reading- is widely accepted by people. In order to explore the specific influence of the social reading motivation of rural residents on their behavior, and to clarify the characteristics of their social reading behavior, and then to provide guidance for the revitalization of rural reading promotion service, we have constructed a dual-link model of social reading motivation with intrinsic motivation and social motivation. [Methods/Processes] Research shows that farmers' social motivation for reading can be divided into intrinsic motivation and social motivation. Intrinsic motivation includes reading efficacy, pursuit of excellence, and emotional expression, while social motivation includes social interaction and gaining recognition. Within the framework of "motivation-behavior", we constructed a dual-link model of social reading motivation with intrinsic motivation and social motivation, and introduced potential expressiveness as a moderating variable in the pathway of interactive behaviors. Data were collected from rural residents in some areas of Heilongjiang Province by the questionnaire survey method, and 447 questionnaire samples were empirically tested by AMOS. [Results/Conclusions] The intrinsic motivation represented by reading efficacy, emotional expression, and pursuit of excellence had a positive effect on immersion experience, and the social motivation represented by social interaction and gaining recognition had a positive effect on perceived usefulness, while immersion experience and perceived usefulness positively influenced socialized reading behavior; potential schematic competence played a moderating role in the interactive influence of immersion experience and socialized reading behavior, while perceived usefulness did not play a significant role in the interaction between immersion experience and social reading behavior. Based on the results of this study, we propose recommendations for promoting social reading in terms of emotional expression, social interaction and potential schematic energy mining. To stimulate intrinsic motivation through the chain of emotional communication, emotional expression, and emotional resonance. The entity represents user characteristics obtained through the analysis of user behavior such as consumption, browsing, and querying based on user profiles, and opens up a data presentation model centered on the user, thereby enhancing the user's immersive reading experience. Social motivation can be enhanced by catering to users' habits. For example, farmers can drive social reading through interactive behaviors such as liking, sharing, and commenting.

[Purpose/Significance] China's national reading work has entered a new stage of high-quality development from "launching" to "deepening". Public libraries play an important role in national reading. How to further broaden the way of reading promotion, carry out innovative forms of activity, develop towards professionalization, and improve effectiveness is an important issue for the reading promotion work of public libraries in the new era. The Neighborhood Library Project cooperates with families to build a family library, provides reading services and activities to the outside world, and creates a new paradigm for national reading promotion from activating families, activating books to activating reading. It won the first prize of the International Marketing Award of the International Federation of Library Associations and Societies in 2020. The new concepts, professional ideas and successful experiences of reading promotion can be used as a reference by public libraries. [Method/Process] Adopting the case analysis method and taking the the Neighborhood Library Project as the research object, the design concept of the project's reading promotion pathway is analyzed from the perspective of family members, family books, and family libraries. The project believes that families are an important social force for national reading promotion, family books are important resources, and family libraries are an important form. The Neighborhood Library Project explores how to activate families to absorb social and family forces to participate in cultural governance, how to activate books to build a "library + family" reading system, and how to activate reading to make reading promotion activities flourish. This paper discusses the professional support of the Neighborhood Library Project for reading promotion from the aspects of providing powerful resource service guarantee, improving the system construction, building a technical platform, and carrying out accurate marketing promotion. [Results/Conclusions] Four suggestions are proposed for reading promotion: the integration of public and private resources expands the breadth of national reading, promotes the friendly interaction between top-level design and reading practice, enables the intelligent management of reading promotion with new technology, and increases the impact of reading promotion through diversified marketing promotion activities. In the future, the effectiveness of reading promotion can be evaluated from the perspective of public libraries' resource input, neighborhood libraries' family participation and reader satisfaction.

[Purpose/Significance] This study examines the status of kindergarten reading instruction and activities in China, analyzes existing problems, and explores measures to address these problems in order to promote kindergarten reading. Over the years, early childhood reading education has been highly valued by the Chinese government. In particular, since the release of the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan for National Reading" in 2016, relevant departments have successively promulgated a series of documents related to early childhood reading, including the "National Reading Promotion Regulation (Draft)" (2017), the "Outline of Children's Development in China" (2021), the "Plan for the Construction of the Public Cultural Service System in the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" (2021), and the "National Youth Student Reading Action Implementation Plan" (2023). Early childhood reading literacy has long been highly valued by our country. [Method/Process] Using the literature review method, we conducted research on the status of kindergarten reading. The research content includes: kindergarten reading teaching, kindergarten reading activities, reading environment, reading methods, and reading modes. By applying the case analysis method, we refined and evaluated cases such as organizing reading festivals, stimulating reading interests, parent-child reading, cooperation with society, and picture book drama performances. [Results/Conclusions] The scientific nature of children's reading methods is crucial for the development of their reading skills, interests, and habits, and also contributes to the legitimate and rational promotion of reading. Kindergartens lack sufficient synthesis and refinement of reading instruction and activities. There are few well-planned and themed reading brands at the whole-school level with significant influence, and there are not many distinctive reading cases. Moreover, the cooperation between kindergardens and social forces is not deep enough. We propose the establishment of a kindergarten reading guidance organization, the issuance of kindergarten reading guidelines, the strengthening of the reading guidance function of the regional kindergarten alliance, the expansion of the kindergarten work of the reading promotion committee and the deepening of development initiatives to integrate kindergartens with social forces.

[Purpose/Significance] Establishing reading promotion standards and evaluation systems has become the key to the quality development of reading promotion. Whether from the perspective of achieving social justice or moving reading promotion into mainstream services, the implementation of reading promotion standards and evaluation is imperative. This article combines the content of the first academic seminar on standards and evaluation in reading promotion with current research in this area. It provides direction for the development of reading promotion standards and evaluation work, moving towards an era of high standards and high quality in reading promotion. [Method/Process] This article summarizes the key issues of current reading promotion work, including the necessity, feasibility and specific implementation methods of implementing reading promotion standards and evaluation work, as well as research on building a shared database and communication platform for reading promotion, answering the questions about basic issues of reading promotion such as the feasibility of implementing standards and evaluation work and how to practise them. In addition, this study takes the best practice cases of six libraries as examples and analyzes the reading promotion standards and evaluation work of these libraries from three perspectives: public library standardization, university library standardization, and the evaluation of reading promotion activities. [Results/Conclusions] The development direction of reading promotion standards and evaluation work includes establishing a standardized evaluation system, building an exchange platform, developing a reading promotion standard toolkit, carrying out full-process standardization and multi-dimensional effectiveness evaluation, constructing an evaluation model and providing professional reading promotion training for librarians. The standard and evaluation work of reading promotion in China is still in its infancy. Although the article clarifies the importance, urgency and difficulty of the current reading promotion standardization and evaluation work, it also reveals the consensus building that exists in the initial exploration of the related work. Due to the inadequacy, low planning implementation rate, single type of participating institutions and other problems, the academic community is still in a state of confusion regarding various basic issues of reading promotion standards and evaluation, and further research and practice are urgently needed. This article is not only a summary of the current reading promotion standards and evaluation practices, but also an outlook on the development direction of the future reading promotion standards and evaluation. It is hoped that the reading promotion work will continue to move towards standardization, specialization and high-quality development in the future.

[Purpose/Significance] The National Reading Campaign has become a national strategy. With the deepening of reading promotion, many new methods, new tools and new perspectives have appeared in the research and practice of reading promotion. In order to effectively improve the standardization and professional level of reading promotion, we should systematically sort out, summarize and explore the significance, best practice, future goals and implementation ways of standardization construction and scientific evaluation of reading promotion. [Method/Process] In order to continuously promote the work of nationwide reading with high quality, we have conducted research combining the contents of the second Symposium on Standards and Evaluation in Reading Promotion and Evaluation. Based on the current needs and status of nationwide reading, we have summarized the issues in reading promotion work, including standardization and normalization of reading promotion, as well as the systematization of nationwide reading standards and evaluation. Based on the study of best practice in some libraries, we have put forward strategies and recommendations for the establishment of a reading promotion standard and evaluation system. The Reading Promotion Committee of the Library Society of China has organized two special meetings, the main themes of which are "Towards a High Standard and High Quality Era of Reading Promotion" and "Discovering New Methods, New Tools and New Perspectives of Reading Promotion". Through theoretical exploration, case study, individual interviews and other methods, this paper reviews the theoretical basis, professional construction and example discussion of the construction of reading promotion standards and evaluation system, and achieves a certain consensus on the professionalism, scientific and systematic oragnization and operability of reading promotion standards and evaluation indicators. [Results/Conclusions] The future work of reading promotion is condensed into three main aspects: improving the standardization of reading promotion with new methods, improving the standardization of reading promotion with new tools, and promoting the systematization of reading standards and evaluation in the whole country from a new perspective.
