(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).
