hrough 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.
RSpace is an open-source research platform for institutional research data management, maintained by Research Space. It consists of an electronic lab notebook (ELN) and inventory management system that integrate with various tools, enabling you to connect and access various aspects of your existing workflows and build upon them in ways that enhance their FAIRness. A major component of RSpace is the Inventory system—a customisable and mobile-friendly sample management system. In collaboration with DataCite, RSpace has prototyped a seamless integration of IGSN IDs within the Inventory module such that you can naturally draft, edit the sample metadata for, and publish IGSN IDs. RSpace is not only a DataCite Registered Service Provider, it is the first service provider on the program to offer IGSN ID registration services to DataCite Members and Consortium Organizations.
