Abstract

Based on the three models of research data publishing, this paper presents an investigation and analysis of Chinese research data management and sharing, including China’s national research data management and sharing platforms, institutional research data repositories, Chinese data publishing journals, and data publishing practices. Based on the analysis of China's research data management and sharing environment, the paper will further examine the challenges and opportunities of research data management and sharing services offered by the Chinese library community. Finally, it will provide suggestions for how Chinese libraries can create implementation paths in order to conduct research data management services more effectively.
