Abstract

As fundamental resources of scientific and technological innovation, large research infrastructures and instruments play vital roles in the social development. Strengthening the open sharing of such resources is of great importance to the promotion of social innovation capacities and the refinement of Chinese national innovation system. Based on the evaluation results of central research and education institutions from 2018 to 2025, this study reviewed their progress in the sharing of large research instruments from 2017 to 2024, accompanied with limited exploration of its evolution regularity. The statistical results show that: (1) at the macro-level, key indicators are steadily increasing and the progress of sharing is gratifying; (2) at the meso-level, noticeable differences are observed among regions or operation areas with obvious stratifications; (3) at the micro-level, involved institutions are gradually diverging with remarkable polarization. Overall, the sharing of such institutions is shifting from the “breaking through” stage to the “systematic striving” stage. Five suggestions are further proposed from perspectives as refining data collection, improving audit mechanisms, utilizing evaluation results, boosting incentive effects and enhancing internal driving mechanisms, which aim at the refinement of large research instruments’ open sharing in both central and national research and education institutions.
