The storm of HowNet has not subsided yet -- the State Administration of market supervision and administration has filed a case for investigation on the suspected monopoly of HowNet according to law. The author believes that from the perspective of market, the problem of HowNet may only lie in whether there is monopoly, but at the level of scientific and technological development, monopoly may become an obstacle to scientific and technological progress, and at the level of national security, it is a great threat to protect China's information security. In order to serve the informatization construction of the national economy and promote the improvement of China's national information quality, after years of development, China HowNet, Wanfang, VIP and other databases have been formed. In recent years, relying on the dominant position of the seller's market, the database relies on the monopoly position to make market-oriented profits. In fact, it has caused three dissatisfactions: the author is dissatisfied, the readers (users) are dissatisfied, and the academic journals are dissatisfied. The database has been contrary to the original intention of the state. First, it is expensive and difficult to obtain. The author usually plays the dual roles of data source and data consumer, but the absurdity is that the author has to pay for reading and downloading his works in the database, and there are many lawsuits for this. Over the years, due to the high cost, it is no longer news for academic institutions to unsubscribe from the database. It is generally believed that the academic public instrument of paper database has become a profit-making tool. Second, the repeated construction is serious, and the core journals are in flood. There are dozens of databases in China, but the number of academic journals is basically fixed, and the uniqueness of each data collection is actually very small. Why are there so many simple repetitions? The reason is that the database has drilled into the vacancy of the lack of evaluation mechanism of academic journals, acting as the evaluation subject one after another, publishing the so-called core journal catalogue and ranking. In order to cater to the preference of evaluation institutions, some academic journals even resort to fraud. Some academic institutions have to buy databases repeatedly in order to have a good place in the ranking list, which increases the financial burden and wastes social resources. In addition, each database has different Internet formats and standards of information retrieval means, which can not realize the sharing of academic journal information resources, which is not conducive to the development of academic research and industrial development. Third, disorderly competition and falling into "prisoner's dilemma". Compared with the strong database, academic journals are in a weak position, plundered content resources by the database at a low price, and become a "data processing factory". In order to obtain better communication effect, academic journals generally adopt the form of multiple authorization of "one woman married more". In order to gain more market share, the databases have serious disorderly competition. This kind of competition belongs to a typical non cooperative game, which is easy to fall into a "prisoner's dilemma" - the final result is a relatively poor choice. Such internal friction actually damages the whole national science and technology cause - China's scientific research database not only has weak international influence, has no voice in the world academic evaluation system, but also has no advantage in domestic scientific research evaluation. This is also one of the main reasons for the outflow of scientific and technological papers in China. Scientific research database is not only the "repository" of scientific research data, but also plays a vital role in data sharing, academic dissemination, data reanalysis and utilization. It is an important aspect to ensure the data security of our country. Now, in terms of basic scientific research data and intellectual property data, a war without smoke of gunpowder has begun - cutting off all scientific and research links is one of the means in international conflicts. This scene has already appeared: on March 11 this year, one of the largest providers of scientific and intellectual property information services in the world, kryvian announced sanctions against Russia and stopped database services, causing great difficulties to the scientific community. This incident also sounded an alarm for China's scientific and technological information security. Assuming an extreme situation occurs, foreign scientific and technological literature databases will "choke" our country, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, we must plan ahead and actively respond to it from the height of national strategy. First, the database should be included in the management of public welfare undertakings. Scientific research output supported by public finance should be returned to society. Therefore, the construction of the database should not be completely completed by the market, otherwise it is difficult to realize the advantageous allocation of social resources and ensure the quality of products and services, which will eventually damage the interests of the public. Knowledge is the public instrument of the world. Only by creating a more open platform can everyone share the nutrition of scientific knowledge and achieve inclusive and inclusive development. Therefore, it is suggested to implement systematic strategic planning at the national level, integrate several existing domestic databases into "national academic paper big data publishing platform", incorporate them into non-profit policy publishing undertakings, manage them as public welfare undertakings, make it convenient for the public to use free academic literature, and finally realize the socialization, low-cost and efficient supply of public services. Secondly, relying on the "national big data publishing platform for academic papers", we should scientifically build China's academic discourse system. At present, academic publishing is at the crossroads of historical transformation, and the disputes between openness and closure, public welfare and commerce, subversion and tradition are becoming more and more intense. The development practice of open access in Europe and the United States, as well as the recent innovations in the open transformation agreement, the construction of open ecology and the reform of scientific research policies, have provided China with experience and models worthy of reference. At this important moment of global reconstruction of periodical evaluation, China should not be "Aphasia", but seize the once-in-a-lifetime strategic opportunity for the construction of a new world communication order. When the technology and methods of "national academic paper big data publishing platform" are mature and have a certain scale, we can take this as the basis to strengthen the construction of citation database and build it into an authoritative academic evaluation database with Chinese intellectual property rights for scientific and objective academic evaluation, so as to guide the return of high-level academic papers and enhance the authority and influence. At the same time, the academic evaluation system with Chinese intellectual property rights can change from "export-oriented" to "inward oriented", hold your head high and gradually go out, and increase the international academic discourse power.
