Abstract

[Purpose/significance] Under the novel coronavirus epidemics, it has become the general consensus by government and scientific discipline to establish and improve the open data platform and data sharing mechanism, to response the global public health challenge and to promote the construction of local public health emergency management data sharing capacity.[Method/process] First, the data sharing policy and actions in previous public health emergencies were examined. Then, based on the investigation of data sharing practices such as peer-reviewed journals, preprint, data repositories, clinical trial registration platform and genome/structure data center, this paper analyzed the current situation of COVID-19 data sharing. Finally, it discussed the advantages, disadvantages and obstacles of different data sharing mechanisms in public health emergencies.[Result/conclusion] The COVID-19 data sharing degree was obviously improved, but it had not reached the norm. Technical, motivational, economic, political, legal and ethical factors were barriers to data sharing. China should enhance the ability of data sharing in public health emergencies from the aspects of strategy, infrastructure, stakeholder and ethics.
