Open science has emerged as a global trend. The past few years have witnessed the rapid advances in big data in healthcare and bioinformatics, and data-driven scientific research has become a brand-new paradigm in medical sciences. Scientific data play key roles in biomedicine, covering a wide range of regions and disciplines, including systems biology, new drug discovery and development, artificial intelligence in medicine, as well as clinical data integration and standardization, which are of utmost importance to the prevention, diagnosis, control, treatment, and rehabilitation of a variety of diseases.
Chinese Journal of Medical Sciences, an official publication of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, in cooperation with National Population Health Data Center (NPHDC) , now calls for articles on the theme of scientific data openness and innovative applications. The monographic focuses on topics of the latest developments in scientific data openness/sharing, platform construction, biomedical data governance, high-quality shared datasets, and the high-quality researches based on scientific data that have been shared globally, aiming to promote the sharing and utilization of scientific data in biomedicine, and facilitate the use of scientific data in scientific and technological innovations.
