It is imperative to establish a large local literature database

"The country has realized the importance of the right to speak and initiative in the dissemination of literature, which is also the dissemination of intellectual property rights,

In addition, there is a Higher Education Press and the Chinese Biophysical Society, the Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing Institute of Life Sciences co-sponsored by Springer responsible for overseas distribution (Protein & Cell) magazine, is a local journal founded in 2010, edited by Rao Zihe, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Although China now has some of its own high-level journals in the field of life sciences, it is still a long way to go to achieve the scale of the four major overseas databases." Wang Zefang said.

Looking at the development history of these established publishing groups, Elsevier's predecessor can be traced back to the 16th century, and the modern company also emerged in 1880; Springer Nature was founded in 1869;

The John Wiley & Sons Publishing Company was founded in 1807 and has a history of more than 100 years. After a long period of development, these big publishing groups have grown by merging small journals and magazines, and have become huge literature databases.

"Because of their long history and well-built, these publishing groups have very low marginal effects and low maintenance costs, especially when they are networked." Wang Zefang believes that at the same time, now to enter the industry,

the barriers have become very high, because a large number of Copyrights have been in the hands of these publishing groups, need to spend a lot of money to buy, can not form a healthy competition.

In addition to building a global influential journal database, another difficulty is the language problem. "The official language of academic journals is almost all English, so it is relatively easy to merge. And many of our journals are in Chinese." Wang Zefang said.

"In the future, through policy guidance and government support, the construction of China's literature database will be accelerated."

Wang Zefang suggested that we can learn from foreign business operation models and integrate more social resources. For example, the data literature in a certain field is particularly valuable to a certain company,

so the company can be responsible for the construction of the literature database in this field. In this way, we can collect social capital, accumulate small amounts, and finally establish a large and complete Chinese local literature database.The top 10 longest-lived animals on Earth, and the last two may live forever!

The animal kingdom has many members who live far longer than the average human. Although many humans live past 100 years or more, it is only a small fraction of the hundreds and thousands of years experienced by some animals. And some animals can stop or even reverse the aging process altogether.

While there are very long-lived animals on land (the oldest living turtle, for example, is nearly 190 years old), the true champions of longevity live in the water. In a recent report, we introduced the ten oldest animals in the world from ancient times to the present day.

Bowhead whale: over 200 years old

Bowhead whales are the longest-lived mammals and live in Arctic and subArctic regions. In May 2007, a bowhead whale specimen captured off the coast of Alaska was found to have a harpoon head on its neck dating from 1879 to 1885, giving it an estimated age of between 115 and 130 years when it died.

The researchers then measured other bowhead whale samples, including one estimated to be 211 years old. Researchers from Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) say the genome sequence shows bowhead whales have a maximum lifespan of about 268 years.

In 2015, scientists in the United States and the United Kingdom successfully mapped the whale genome. After a comparative analysis, the researchers found that the longevity of bowhead whales may be linked to two genetic mutations.

One of them is the ERCC1 gene involved in repairing damaged DNA, which has mutations that may help protect whales from cancer.

so the company can be responsible for the construction of the literature database in this field. In this way, we can collect social capital, accumulate small amounts, and finally establish a large and complete Chinese local literature database.The top 10 longest-lived animals on Earth, and the last two may live forever!
