The participants had in-depth and enthusiastic discussions on the current situation and development of open data and open science, and concluded that the development will have a greater impact on the academic publishing community. Under the influence of relevant state policies and with the increasing call for open science, how to balance the relationship between data ethics, data security, and data standards is a major challenge in promoting open data sharing. Scientific researchers and the public will benefit from the development of open science. It is recommended to enhance open science education, carry out demonstration projects, increase the participation of universities, protect data property rights, and promote the implementation of open science in China by considering the actual needs of national development.
