Abstract:In order to establish a national scientific and technological (S&T) talents information platform with reasonable structure, complete information, authority and openness, this paper analyzes the current status and shortcomings of the construction of the S&T talents database system in China through literature research and questionnaire survey. The paper also analyzes the needs of the database system from the perspective of scientific researchers and administrators. The results show that the users have a strong demand for the S&T talents database system, especially for the functions of talent data statistics and analysis, and talent information inquiry. However, there are still some prominent problems in the current database construction, including diversification of talent information sources, insufficient talent information sharing among various platforms, inconsistent statistical standards of talent data, and the difficulty in acquiring talent data. According to the results, this paper proposes to unify the classification and data description standards of S&T talents, integrate the existing S&T talents database resources, bridge user needs into database design, and establish a resource sharing and cooperative national S&T talents database platform that supports self-feedback and update functions, which can provide suggestions for national talents management and policy decision-making.
