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.

Conclusion

A. Data publishing and full-open-free sharing in

developing countries are crucial for innovative

development and reaching SDGs.

B. Peer Review Data Publishing is the most

advantage way to encourage scientists to be

evolved in full and open research data.

C. Networking local datasets into the global

systems will benefit both scientists and society

D. N-S, S-S cooperation should be encouraged
