complete the evaluation for registration with DOI:10.3974 and CSTR:20146 for
all products published at Digital Journal
of Global Change Data Repository, Journal of Global Change Data Publishing
& Discovery and the Global Change Data and Knowledge Hub platform by
December 31, 2021.
The GCdataPR Office will check
and evaluate the implementation situation of GCdataPR Specification regularly,
in order to find any problems and potential troubles in time and to correct
them timely based.
Article 41: Appendixes
(1) Acknowledgment
The GCdataPR Specification is a
necessary technical standard and specification for the management of digital
scientific and technological resources in the global change studies. The first
edition of Specification was officially released in June 2014. It was completed
by a group led by Prof. Liu, C., Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural
resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The contributors include: Prof.
Zhu, Y. Q., Dr. Shi, R. X., associate Prof. Wang, Z. X., Prof. He, S. J., and
chief engineer Guo, X. F., deputy director of DOI registration and service
center of China Institute of science and technology information.
The first update version on GCdataPR
Specification was released on January 30, 2017. Prof. Liu, C. led the team for
the update version. The team member includes Prof. Zhu, Y. Q., associate Prof. Wang,
Z. X., Prof. He, S. J., and Prof. Ge, Q. S., the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Global Change Data & Discovery.
The second update version of the
GCdataPR Specification was released on May 30, 2021. The second update version
was completed by the group led by Prof. Liu, C., the contributors included Prof.
Zhu, Y. Q., Dr. Shi, R. X., associate Prof. Wang, Z. X., Prof. He, S. J., Prof.
Ge, Q. S., Dr. Ma, J. J., Senior Engineer Yu, B. H., Prof. Song, X. F. Dr. Shi,
L., director of the science and technology resource platform center of the
Ministry of science and technology, Professor Li, G. Q., director of the
National Earth Observation scientific data center.
(2) Background for the update version of the GCdataPR Specification
There was an urgent need for the
GCdataPR dataset and data papers publishing and repository in 2014. Because of
the GCdataPR system would be online in June 2014, the GCdataPR Specification
became the critical part of the publishing infrastructure. Since the data paper
was published in the supplement of volume 69 of Acta Geographica Sinica in
2014, it was registered with DOI:10.11821/dlxb2014s, while the dataset was
registered with doi:10.3974/geodb.
When the Journal of Global Change Data & Discovery was approved to be launched in March 2017, the DOI code
system for the new journal was assigned with DOI:10.3974/geodp, which should be
linked to the datasets with DOI:10.3974/geodb. Based on the progress, the first
updated version of the GCdataPR specification for registration and digital
codes of science and technology products was released in 2017.
The background of the second updated
revision of the GCdataPR Specification in 2021 is as the following.
The Digital
Journal of Global Change Data Repository was launched in June 2020.
The Scientific Data Management Law of
China (2018), National Scientific and Technology Resources Sharing Services
Platform of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China (2018) and CSTR
standard (GB/T 32843—2016) were published separately, the GCdataPR
specification for registration and digital codes of science and technology
products should be updated.
The content of the Global Change
Research Data Publishing & Repository was expanded, it consists not only
the Journal of Global Change Data & Discovery, Digital Journal of Global Change Data Repository, but also the
Global Change Data and Knowledge Hub platforms.
The new content on Geographical Indications
for Environment and Sustainability (GIES) was developed since January 2021. It
related to datasets, articles, samples, bases for research, education, tourism,
environment monitoring equipments, plant germplasm, animal germplasim, etc.
Therefore, the updated revision focused on adding S&T resources with CSTR
code are necessary.
(3) Bilingual ID with DOI:10.3974/ and CSTR:20146/
All products published by
GCdataPR are bilingual both in Chinese and English. Although the languages are
different, the scientific connotation is the same. Because of most
international users to have scientific cooperation in English, for this reason,
the GCdataPR Specification adopted the method of bilingual publication, system
and logo in both Chinese and English with same ID registered in DOI system. In
this identification system, the same scientific achievement, no matter in which
language it is published and disseminated, is regarded as a scientific
achievement and an identification mark.
In order to identify Chinese version and
English version, when both appear the same pages, the CN (for Chinese version)
and En (for English version) should be added.
For example: The CSTR code for the
report of WSIS Prize 2018 (e-Science
Champion) to the GCdataPR Project is CSTR:20146.23.2018.05.01. If user’s
computer system to access the report is in English, then the
CSTR:20146.23.2018.05.01 goes to the link the English version of the product,
it is equal to go to the CSTR:20146.23.2018.05.01 (EN). If user’s computer
system is in Chinese, then the CSTR:20146.23.2018.05.01 goes to the link the
Chinese version of the product, it is equal to go to the
CSTR:20146.23.2018.05.01 (CN).
