Conclusion

3. 1 Challenges and Solutions on Global Change Research Data in Developing Countries
1.1 Challenges (1) – Statistics from the GEOSS Data CORE
GEOSS Data Core records – 1,219,917
In which,
86% from OECD countries (1,043688))
14% from the countries else (176,229)

4. 1 Challenges and Solutions on Global Change Research Data in Developing Countries
1.2 Challenges (2) – Statistics from 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
Question 1: where is the dataset linked to the journal publications?
Question 2: Why scientists prefer to publish paper instead of dataset?
Question 3: Are there anyway to change it?

5. 1 Challenges and Solutions on Global Change Research Data in Developing Countries
1.3 Challenges (3) – almost all of the global change studies in developing countries focuses on local, national, or regional scales, instead of global scale.

1.2 Four issues for finding the solution
National security and private Information prohibition
Intellectual property protection
Data quality control
Data authors’ feedback
The Key Solution is by Data Publishing - Peer review and have an ID for each dataset

8. 2.2: GCdataPR’s Key Value – peer review for the data quality control
Pretend to play Yu
In Qi dynasty, the King named Xuan enjoyed listening Yu, preferred 300 Yus together. A man named Nanguo pretended to play, Xuan approved him to join the team and pay him more. When Xuan died, new king named Min preferred one by one, Naguo escaped.

11. 2.5 Outreach: 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.

23. 4. Conclusion
Peer Review Data Publishing is the most advantage way to encourage scientists to be evolved in full and open research data.
Networking the local dataset into a global IP protection network, database network and researcher personals network are very important for benefit both local studies as well as global change studies in any scales.
GCdataPR is part of the global data publishing, repository and sharing infrastructure in the world, especially for the developing countries.
