【Purpose/significance】 To explore the driving mechanism of academic new media information flow and transformation is of

great significance to improve the efficiency of academic new media information flow and transformation, ensure the healthy and sustain⁃able development of academic new media.【Method/process】 Based on the explanation of the connotation of academic new media and information flow and transformation, the composition of driving forces is analyzed, and the driving factors are separated based on Grounded theory.【Result/conclusion】The driving mechanism model of academic new media information flow and transformation is constructed from three parts: the driving factor framework, driving force and driving effect.【Innovation/limitation】 In the future, the driving factors of academic new media information flow and transformation will be further refined, and the causal relationship between the driving variables in the information flow process and other issues need in-depth research.
