Nonprofit service

ISTIC, national institute under MOST, providing public welfare service
Wanfang Data

Wanfang Data Co., Ltd. in 2000, ISTIC is the main share holder
The first database development company in China (WanfangData Inc. in 1993)
Now the main STM information service provider of China

Focusing on the promotion of linking and sharing ofChinese content with DOI services

2Highlighted in STM Journals, Science Data as a beginning
Setup the portal and service website and system
Operation and promotion of DOI registration, resolution andvalue-added service
DOIChinese DOI Status• 23,455,857 DOIs now– 2nd place in IDF RAs– 22,000,000+ Journal DOIs, covered 6900+ Titles• 300+ STM key journal titles of China• 5500+ titles of Wanfang Data database, paid by Wanfang Datasince 2009
• 1100+ STM stand-alone titles which have their own websites– 1,429,000+ Dissertation DOIs, covered 400+ universities– Science data (16,000+ DOIs)• Species Plantarum, Environment ecology , Geo-informatics , Biomedicine……

3– Images and Figures related to Journal article or Science
Data(experimental)– E-Book and Conference Proceedings (5000+)
DOIResearch data production &utilization in China• Tremendous quantity of research data is produced by institutes
and research teams• Data sharing and reusing take more and more attention ofgovernment and institutes– MOST began to fund the building of research data sharing platforms of varied
disciplines 10 years ago, such as fundamental science (http://www.nsdc.cn/),earth system science (http://www2.geodata.cn/, 1209 datasets), population andhealth (http://www.ncmi.cn), agriculture science (http://www.agridata.cn/) ……
– many institutes build their own data center to manage and publish research data,such as Cold and Arid Regions Data Center(http://westdc.westgis.ac.cn/, 1459
datasets), Global Change Research Data Publishing & Repository(http://geodoi.ac.cn/, 60 datasets) ……

• Intellectual property of research data is still not clear; contribution ofdata to science research is hard to evaluated; contribution of data
producer has not been recognized and awarded• Data producers are not willing to share data, other researchers can’t
reuse data
4DOI

Data DOI as a Main Service• One of most important aim of Chinese DOI is topromote sharing and reusing of research data
– Identifying and linking of datasets– Linking and citing between datasets and S&T literature– Tracing and metering of datasets using• Mission– DOI service for research data
– Research and standardization of data citation– Promotion of data sharing and using
5DOIStatus of Research Data DOI• Began from year 2008
– DOI registration for research datasets– Query metadata of research datasets– DOI registration and resolution statistic report by month– DOI Citation Formattor (beta), Chinese version, shared service by
DataCite, CrossRef, mEDRA and Chinese DOI• 16,000+ Research data DOI, from 20+ members– Research area: Species Plantarum, Environment ecology ,Geoinformatics , bio-medicine……
– Members: National e-science platform, Cold and AridRegions Environmental and Engineering Research Institute , Instituteof Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Polar
Research Institute of China , National Geomatic Center of China,
Institute of Soil Science (Nanjing), Computer Network Information
Center(CNIC) ……

Promote Research Data Publishingwith DOI Service• Members of research data DOI increased 3times since 2014, from most important institutesin China• Data centers provide storage, reviewing, DOI
data submission(as a registrant, register DOI inChinese DOI), publishing service for researchdata

7– WestDC (http://westdc.westgis.ac.cn/ ), 7th data centerworldwide approved by Scientific Data (published by NPG),
datasets published by them indexed by DCIDOI

8DOI9DOIPromote Research Data Publishingwith DOI Service• Joint publishing of journal paper &dataset with DOI– Global Change Research Data Publishing &Repository （ http://geodoi.ac.cn/）– Dataset publishing，register DOI for dataset– Data Papers (published in ACTAGEOGRAPHICA SINICA, have their own DOIs)
cite datasets with DOI
10DOI

11DOI12DOIData Journal• First data journal in China– 《China Scientific Data》, online publishing journal– Publish data papers for science research– Approved by SAPPRFT (State Administration of Press,Publication, Radio, Film and Television), Sept. 2015
– Data set must be submitted to appointed research data repository（www.scidb.cn）when data paper is submitted to the journal– Published by CNIC, CAS. Member of Chinese DOI, prepare toapply DOIs for their datasets and data papers, and cite datasets
