The results suggest that the global averaged integrated intensity ratios I(HCO^+^)/I(HNC), I(HCN)/I(HNC), I(N_2_H^+^)/I(HCO^+^), and I(N_2_H^+^)/ I(HCN) are promising tracers for evolution of high-mass star-forming clumps. The global averaged column densities and abundances of N_2_H^+^, HCO^+^, HCN, and HNC increase as clumps evolve. The global averaged abundance ratios X(HCN)/X(HNC) could be used to trace evolution of high-mass star forming clumps, X(HCO^+^)/X(HNC) is more suitable for distinguishing high-mass star-forming clumps in prestellar (stage A) from those in protostellar (stage B) and HII/PDR region (stage C). These results suggest that the global averaged integrated intensity ratios between HCN(1-0), HNC(1-0), HCO^+^(1-0) and N_2_H^+^(1-0) are more suitable for tracing the evolution of high-mass star forming clumps. We also studied the chemical properties of the target high-mass star-forming clumps in each spiral arm of the Galaxy, and got results very different from those above. This is probably due to the relatively small sample in each spiral arm. For high-mass star-forming clumps in Sagittarius arm and Norma-Outer arm, comparing two groups located on one arm with different Galactocentric distances, the clumps near the Galactic Center appear to be younger than those far from the Galactic center, which may be due to more dense gas concentrated near the Galactic Center, and hence more massive stars being formed there.</description><source format="bibcode">2016Ap&amp;SS.361..191Z</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/other/ApSS/361.191</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/II/293">II/293 : GLIMPSE Source Catalog (I + II + 3D) (IPAC 2008)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/291/943">J/A+A/291/943 : Protostellar cores (Ossenkopf+, 1994)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/136/2391">J/AJ/136/2391 : GLIMPSE Extended Green Objects catalog (Cyganowski+, 2008)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/527/A88">J/A+A/527/A88 : Chemistry in infrared dark clouds (Vasyunina+, 2011)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/756/60">J/ApJ/756/60 : A 3mm line survey in 37 IR dark clouds (Sanhueza+, 2012)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/777/157">J/ApJ/777/157 : 90GHz obs. of high-mass star-forming regions (Hoq+, 2013)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/549/A45">J/A+A/549/A45 : ATLASGAL Compact Source Catalog: 330&lt;l&lt;21 (Contreras+, 2013)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/563/A97">J/A+A/563/A97 : IRAM 30m reduced spectra of 59 sources (Gerner+, 2014)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/568/A41">J/A+A/568/A41 : ATLASGAL Compact Source Catalog: 280&lt;l&lt;60 (Urquhart+, 2014)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/MNRAS/443/1555">J/MNRAS/443/1555 : ATLASGAL massive star forming clumps (Urquhart+, 2014)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/149/64">J/AJ/149/64 : MIPSGAL 24{mu}m point source catalog (Gutermuth+, 2015)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/815/130">J/ApJ/815/130 : High-mass molecular clumps from MALT90 (Guzman+, 2015)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/824/29">J/ApJ/824/29 : ATLASGAL clumps with IRAS flux &amp;
