In the digital era, making research easily discoverable and accessible cannot be overstated. In this context, the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) system has emerged as a global persistent identifiers (PIDs) standard for identifying and linking digital content. However, many institutions in Tunisia, as well as institutions in other developing countries, have been slow to adopt this system due to various challenges.
The Zimbabwe University Libraries Consortium (ZULC) recently concluded a comprehensive outreach programme, funded by the Global Access Fund. The programme was aimed at raising awareness of persistent identifiers (PIDs) among Zimbabwean higher education institutions.
Through the partnership between DataCite and IGSN e.V., DataCite services can be used to register International Generic Sample Numbers (IGSN IDs) for material samples. The blog series ‘IGSN ID Implementation Exemplars’ showcases sample management workflows developed by the community that incorporate IGSN ID registration. In each post, we offer practical guidance on how to work alongside disciplinary sample experts to register IGSN IDs within DataCite services.
Following the IGSN–DataCite partnership, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and AuScope in Australia have been working in parallel to develop sample management systems that include IGSN ID registration. The CSIRO and AuScope systems are based on different repository platforms: Specify versus CKAN. The systems also have different audiences/remits: an internal sample management for national collections versus an open researcher catalogue. Here, we present both to enable the community to compare and contrast these systems.

DataCite use cases around the world: Welcome to our blog series shining a spotlight on how research institutions integrate DataCite infrastructure into their systems and workflows.
Through the 2021 partnership between DataCite and IGSN e.V., DataCite services can be used to register International Generic Sample Numbers (IGSN IDs) for material samples. Over the coming months, the blog series ‘IGSN ID Implementation Exemplars’ will showcase sample management workflows developed by the community that incorporate IGSN ID registration. In each post, we offer practical guidance on how to work alongside disciplinary sample experts to register IGSN IDs within DataCite services.
GFZ Data Services is hosted at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences. It is a research data repository for DOI-referenced data and scientific software from the Geosciences, and provides IGSN ID registration for geosamples. GFZ Data Services was a founding member of IGSN e.V. in 2011, and until 31 December 2022, when the IGSN PID infrastructure transitioned under DataCite, GFZ Data Services was responsible for managing the central IGSN handle server that registered more than 10.5 Million IGSN IDs. As IGSN Allocating Agent, GFZ Data Services has assigned close to 39,000 material samples with IGSN IDs for its community. Almost 3,000 IGSN IDs have been directly registered within DataCite services since the transition.
