Abstract

[Purpose/significance] The standardized management, citation and reuse of scientific data has attracted wide attention in academic circles. In this context, a large number of data papers and data journals have emerged to promote the rational use of scientific data. However, data paper has not yet formed a unified and standardized system. The study will summarize and refine the content framework and core modules of data paper published by data journals which are active in the research data publishing field, in order to provide reference for relevant personnel or organizations in writing, use and management of data papers.[Method/process] Comprehensive application of content analysis and comparative research methods, based on the thinking mode of scientific data users in searching, acquiring and reusing research data, and based on the submission guides or writing instructions issued by different data journals, the content framework and core modules of data paper were analyzed from six perspectives, including subject relevance, data quality, data generation and acquisition methods, application scenarios, usage methods and supplementary instructions.[Result/conclusion] At present, there is no submission guide or writing instructions of data journals that can fully cover all modules of data paper; the content composition of data paper is related to and different from that of traditional academic paper; the essential module of content framework of data paper focuses on describing the prominent characteristics of scientific data; a normalized description framework for features of scientific data is still on the way.
