Recently, American Geophysical Union (AGU) issued a statement on its official website about the publication of original data related to its owned academic journal. The statement included: 1) As of August 1, 2019 AGU is adhering to the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles that the data supporting the author’s research and the visualizations in the paper must be deposited in a trusted repository; 2) by acceptance new data for the paper should be placed into community data repositories (not in supplements). 204 repositories were listed on AGU website (https://repositoryfinder.datacite.org/).
Up to now, 15 repositories in Chinese mainland were identified as the community data repositories of AGU, including Global Change Research Data Publishing and Repository (GCdataPR), which was sponsored by the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Geographical Society of China. In the 15 repositories, 5 of them have been certified (
).
The 15 repositories in Chinese mainland were as follows:

Since 2016, 38 earth science journals in China were linking to GCdataPR and the common interest has been researched to publishing the related original data of their journals. GCdataPR was also the trusted repository of Polar Data Journal, which was sponsored by National Polar Research Institute of Japan. Up to now, GCdataPR has been the data repository of 61 journals from China, Japan and America.
The American Geophysical Union was established in 1919 and this year is the 100th anniversary of AGU. AGU is one of the most active academic organizations in the world and in the field of geophysics. Until now, 22 academic journals with world influence and leading role have been sponsored by AGU in the fields of atmospheric science, global environmental change, hydrology, marine science, biogeography, geology and geophysics.
