Empirical Evaluation of the Operational Performance of National Scientific Data Sharing Service Platforms
The scientific data platforms provide an infrastructure and institutional guarantee for the implementation of data open sharing practice and their development is particularly urgent in the post-epidemic era within the need of"contactless access"to data.In addition,good operational performance is a prerequisite for the function realization of the data platforms.This study takes 20 national scientific da-ta centers from the adjustment and optimization list of national scientific and technological resource sharing service platforms as the re-search object,establishes an evaluation index system based on the Balanced scorecard theory,and then evaluates the operational per-formance of these data platforms.The results show that these national data platforms have made remarkable progress in the diversification of service,the construction of policies and standards,the standardization of data description,and the exertion of scientific research ef-ficiency through years of continuous development.However,there is still a phenomenon of"data Pixiu"that emphasizes storage and neg-lects sharing.Moreover,the problems of complicated data acquisition process,weak data timeliness,less emphasis on user participa-tion,and intellectual property protection also need to be solved urgently.
