As 2024 comes to a close, we reflect on a year marked by milestones, progress, and the ever-deepening collaboration with our global community. This year, we celebrated 15 years of DataCite, a journey built on the collective dedication of members, partners, and stakeholders who share our vision of a connected and equitable research ecosystem.
This is a guest blog post by Dawid Potgieter. Dawid leads the TWCF-funded Accelerating the Reach of Research on Consciousness (ARRC) project and shares some of the insights from the project in this blog post. Beyond Journal Articles: How PID Graphs Could Revolutionize Research Reporting In today’s academic landscape, journal articles are the primary way researchers share their work.
The journey of a year is like a tapestry, woven with threads of growth, innovation, and community. As we bid farewell to 2023, join us in unraveling some important reflections and accomplishments. Growing Together in Community Our community is experiencing robust growth, marked by growth in member repositories and a remarkable increase in DOI registrations.
As an open infrastructure organization committed to advancing knowledge, there are always many actions you can take. The key is to decide which initiatives and collaborations are of particular relevance at a given time. Based on our mission and vision, DataCite actively engages in a variety of initiatives, collaborating with different community stakeholders to advance open science and knowledge sharing.
As preparation to the submission of the first preprint from the research study in the FAIR Workflows project, I spoke with Professor Lucia Melloni, the co-director of the project and principal investigator at the MPIEA, to discuss the influence and evolution of preprints in neuroscience research. Our conversation provided an in-depth look at her experiences and views on this shift in scientific dissemination.

Hello from Sweden! I’m Sara El-Gebali, and I’m excited to be joining DataCite’s Engagement team as a Metadata Specialist. It’s a new chapter for me, one in which I’ll engage with the dynamic world of Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) and be part of their global influence. One of the projects I am most excited to be joining is PID4NFDI, where I can work with the community shaping the PID landscape both nationally and internationally.
Implementing FAIR Workflows: A Proof of Concept Study in the Field of Consciousness is a 3-year project funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation. In this project, DataCite works with a number of partners on providing an exemplar workflow that researchers can use to implement FAIR practices throughout their research lifecycle.

In the realm of scholarly publishing, the discipline metadata of outputs is of utmost importance. It is the backbone upon which works are discovered, indexed, and ultimately read. Without proper discipline metadata, outputs risk being lost in the vast sea of information in the scholarly landscape. However, despite the importance of discipline metadata, it can be a source of frustration for both authors and publishers.
On March 01, 2023, the project "PID Network Deutschland – Network for fostering persistent identifiers in science and culture", funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and scheduled to run for 36 months, will start. Partner institutions of PID Network Germany are DataCite, the German National Library, the Helmholtz Open Science Office, the Bielefeld University Library, and the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB).
