The innovation of tourism resources is an important way to promote the development of the tourism economy. The rapid development of Japan’s tourism economy is inseparable from its unique concept of innovative development of tourism resources. Based on the case study of Japan’s tourism resources development model, this paper classifies Japan’s tourism resources innovation into seven types: (1) Tourism Resources Re-packaging Type, (2) Excavation and Reconstruction of Historical Culture Type, (3) Characteristic Resource-driven Type, (4) Cultural Creativity Type, (5) Transformation Value Reconstruction Type, (6) Characteristic Block Development Type, and (7) Theme Park Development Type. These innovative types of tourism resources reflect the recognition of tourism resources with the times, construct a development model that can fully cohere the local historical and cultural heritage and physical and geographical characteristics, and present the situation of coordinated development of the region.

A data paper is one of the important types of papers in academic exchanges. Data paper focuses on the description of data resources, and its main purpose is to make data resources play a greater academic value. For a research topic, two different types of academic papers can be published to make them organically related and echo each other. One is a research paper, which focuses on the discussion of data resources and finally forms a research conclusion. The other is a data paper, which focuses on the description of data resources and does not involve new scientific cognition. Data papers are the supporting papers and expansion papers of research papers. Resources Data Journal is an academic journal that publishes data papers, which are reviewed by peer experts, open to the world, and in line with the world academic community.

The quality of an undergraduate thesis is not only a comprehensive test of students’ academic level but also an important embodiment of the achievements of “teaching and learning” in colleges and universities. In the light of the present situation and problems in the teaching of thesis writing courses for undergraduates in Chinese colleges and universities, and using the Japanese seminar course model for reference, this paper puts forward three measures to improve “teaching and learning”: (1) “setting up public courses in thesis writing in advance”, (2) “setting up seminar course”, and (3) “implementing tutor responsibility system in the early stage”. These improvement measures of “teaching and learning” are beneficial to the improvement of undergraduate thesis writing.

Heavy oil is considered to have a high development value, comparable to the residual recoverable reserves of light crude oil worldwide. Reducing development costs and maximizing heavy oil recovery from underground are common challenges for the oil industry. There are two methods for recovering heavy oil, thermal recovery, and non-thermal recovery. In Resources Data Journal, Liu (DOI: 10.50908/rdj.1.0_17) not only described thermal flooding and non-thermal flooding of heavy oil, but also presented technical points for development. This explanation of heavy oil development technology is considered to be an important material.

Foreign trade plays an extremely important role in the development of the national economy and is an important symbol of the in-depth development of the national economy. In 2019, China-United States trade disputes resumed, reaching a historic climax in scope and extent, and intensifying. After the calmness of COVID-19, there may be another China-United States trade dispute. How to deal with the frequent trade disputes provoked by the United States will be a common issue for relevant Chinese departments and enterprises in the future. Looking back on history, along with economic development, Japan’s trade surplus with the United States has expanded sharply, and trade disputes between the two countries have been triggered repeatedly for decades. Based on summarizing Japan’s experience in dealing with trade disputes between the Japan-United States and analyzing China’s situation, this paper puts forward some strategic suggestions for China to deal with trade disputes between China and the United States: (1) diversification of export markets, (2) cultivation of high-value-added industries, (3) foreign investment in manufacturing, (4) market for the market, and (5) expansion of domestic demand.

Effective value transformation of tourism resources is an important measure to promote the development of the tourism industry. In a sense, how to transform the value of tourism resources determines the rise and fall of the tourism industry. Yanagi (2022, DOI: 10.50908/grb.1.0_2) divides it into seven types according to the characteristics of the value transformation of Japanese tourism resources. The paper follows the basic idea of “literature collection-carding analysis-qualitative and quantitative analysis-extraction and induction”. The paper has a certain reference value for the study of tourism in Japan.

Shale oil is a key area of unconventional oil development and is expected to become a new growth point of oil production in the future. Jiyang Depression is a secondary basin located in the southeast of Bohai Bay Basin. The shale strata in Jiyang Depression are mainly developed in the Upper 4th Member of Shahejie Formation, the Lower 3rd Member of Shahejie Formation, and the 1st Member of Shahejie Formation in Paleogene. In the past 10 years of exploration practice, Jiyang Depression has made breakthroughs in many layers and various types of shale oil, showing a good exploration prospect of shale oil in Jiyang Depression. Based on previous studies, this paper discussed the characteristics of effective source rocks in Jiyang Depression from four aspects: (1) geochemical characteristics, (2) distribution characteristics, (3) lithologic structure characteristics, and (4) hydrocarbon expulsion characteristics. This paper is expected to provide a reference for the exploration and development of shale oil in Jiyang Depression.
