1) Data sharing is important for research and achieving sustainable development goals, but developing countries contribute only 14% of shared research data. 2) Peer-reviewed research data publishing with unique identifiers can help encourage scientists to share data openly. 3) Networking local datasets into global data systems through data papers, publications and citations benefits both scientists and society.

1. Publishing and Sharing Research
Data for Sciences and Sustainability

86% from OECD countries (1,043688))
14% from the countries else (176,229)

3. Enhancing the Joint Efforts on Data
Sharing in Developing Countries
We recognize that science has a central role
in the development of the Information
Society.
Sharing research data not only provides
fundamental resources for research, but can
be an accelerator for the knowledge economy
and to achieve the U.N. Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
As we enter the big data era, data sharing in
developing countries has become even more
critical
Every corner of the world should get benefit
from the information society equally. I
Suggest U.N. continue to pay more attention
to and to call research communities,
founding agencies, private sectors and all
stakeholders to reduce the digital divide.

Earth Science Journals
> 250 Journals on Earth Science + >200 University Journals in China
More than 30,000 research papers published on environment, earth
sciences, ecology, agriculture, … each year in China
