Chinese Physics B begins to accept and publish “Data Papers” in 2021.
Aiming to promote the sharing and reuse of physical data, the Data Paper is dedicated to publishing experimental, theoretical, and computational data (dataset or database) with high quality and reuse value in physics. The data will be deposited in an accredited data repository, and data records are linked in the Data Paper to facilitate data access.
The main content of the Data Paper should include the methods used to collect the data, the data source and the data usage notes. In-depth analyses and discussion of the Data are not required.
The Data Paper can be complementary to the traditional research articles, and may be used to describe datasets that have been analyzed in other publications.
