sOutput of scientific papers: Growing fast

The number of China’s SCI papers is second to that of USA,

ahead of the third (UK) about 40000.

Share of SCI papers in USA, China, EU

The number of China’s SCI papers may surpass those of USA and EU by 2018.

data, get the main revenue

The use of digital identifier in China

Every digital database developed its own object identifier. No unified standard rules. (CNKI, WanFang, VIP, Apabi, etc.);

It is important to have a unique identifier for cross-database searching;

DOI Agency in China: Wanfang Data Co., Ltd.

Began in 2007

Registered items: 1.63 M, (1349 journals enrolled,

11 of them are English edition)

Questions: DOI (CrossRef) in China

For Chinese-edition journals, their registered items are English information. However, the search is based on Chinese (CNKI, WanFang, VIP), so it is difficult to establish a cross-refer via DOI.

Is it useful for Chinese journals to registered DOI (CrossRef)? Is it possible for CeossRef to establish links with Chinese articles? Many China’s journals cooperate with overseas publishers, a

nd register DOI as one of the publishers’ journals. If the cooperator changed, how multiple DOIs process?

Questions: Cross Check

Plagiarism

Translation between Chinese and English.

Redundant (or duplicate) publication

The same paper published in English & Chinese;

Journal papers revised from PhD (or MS) thesis;

Journal papers revised from online articles.
