The Open Access Week 2023 advocates for the theme "Community over Commercialization," emphasizing the significance of fostering a collaborative and inclusive research environment. This theme highlights the important role of prioritizing communal benefits and knowledge dissemination over profit-driven motives. By promoting open access to scholarship, this initiative aims to amplify the value of shared information, collaborative endeavors, and the democratization of knowledge. Raising awareness among the research community about the value of prioritizing the common good over commercial interests can foster a culture of open and equitable access, and collective progress. It encourages the research community to actively engage in the dissemination of their work, fostering a vibrant and interconnected research ecosystem that thrives on inclusivity and shared expertise.

The DataCite Annual Community Meeting was held on 12 October 2023. The first thing to notice about this sentence is the subtle, but important, change in the name of the event from being a Member Meeting to a Community Meeting.

DataCite is a fully remote organization with 22 team members across 11 countries. Once a year, we have the opportunity to meet in person at our annual team retreat. Last week, this annual retreat took place in Sintra, Portugal. For some of the team members, it was the first time to see colleagues face-to-face, while others were happy to meet again after last year’s team meeting.

Los identificadores persistentes están jugando un papel clave en impulsar una infraestructura de investigación más sólida e iniciativas de ciencia abierta en América Latina.

Persistent identifiers are playing a key role in driving more robust research infrastructure and open science initiatives across Latin America. This was a primary theme at the event “Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) and Open Science in Latin America”

The DataCite team had an intense week in Buenos Aires for the csv,conf,v7 and we tell you (almost) all about it in this blog! What is csv,conf? csv,conf is a community-organized event by and for datamakers from all around the world. Participants get together to discuss open data, and how it can be used to solve problems across research, journalism, government, and beyond!

Desde el establecimiento del primer consorcio DataCite en Latinoamérica en 2020, hemos estado deseando interactuar con nuestra comunidad en persona.

Since the establishment of the first DataCite consortium in Latin America in 2020, we’ve been wanting to engage with our community in person.

After three years of webinars, online workshops, and virtual member meetings, DataCite Connect Gothenburg finally brought together our community for an in-person meeting co-located with the RDA Plenary 20. We are happy that so many members joined us to connect, learn, and discuss national PID and open research strategies and the role DataCite can play in their development.

Aggregated references to data across outputs will help the community monitor impact, inform future funding, and improve the dissemination of research Amsterdam – 17 January 2023 – DataCite is pleased to announce that The Wellcome Trust has awarded funds to build the Open Global Data Citation Corpus to dramatically transform the data citation landscape.
