He compares the development of traditional and Open Access journals, and the popularity of Preprint, which is available online before some articles are published. Meanwhile, “Data sharing” is also becoming a trend. He notes that many leading international journals now recommend that clinical trial researchers publish and share all the data, and when that data is Shared, research groups around the world will have different insights. As a result, more valuable achievements will emerge.
