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.

A key challenge for researchers is keeping track of project activities across the research lifecycle. Unlike a grant, which a researcher receives, a project is something that a researcher does. Project information is dynamic; what is planned is not necessarily what is delivered, while project contributors and organizations may change over time.

In 2020, the DataCite General Assembly approved the introduction of Consortium membership, where a group of like-minded organizations come together to collectively participate in DataCite’s community and governance activities and use DataCite’s DOI services.

Policy for Consortium Organizations Registering More Than 10.000 DOIs

As of January 1, 2025, DataCite Members and Consortium Organizations will be required to use

 Schema 4



to register DOIs and update DOI metadata. Widespread adoption of Schema 4 is critical to improve DOI metadata quality. This is because Schema 4—i.e., versions 4.0 through 4.4 and subsequent minor versions—improves on Schema 3 with additions that promote metadata quality and consistency.

Deprecating Schema 3

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.

Advancing Knowledge Together: DataCite’s Strategic Initiatives and Collaborations

At DataCite, we enable DOI registration for a wide variety of research outputs: from samples and images to data and preprints. In this post, we’ll spotlight the resource types that our community is using DataCite DOIs for. The DataCite Metadata Schema has always supported a range of resource types.

After six years as DataCite Technical Director, I am both sad and excited to announce that I will be leaving DataCite, beginning a new adventure as an independent developer for the invenioRDM project on August 1st. My focus will remain on research data management, but with a different angle. A lot has changed since 2015 at DataCite in general, and the DataCite technical architecture in particular.

Farewell to DataCite

Metadata that describes scientific software in standard ways – in particular citation metadata such as title, authors, publication year, and venue – is essential for proper software citation implementation. The metadata should be generated by the software author, stored in the code repository, included in submissions to journals, and archived with the source code in a software archive.

We need your feedback: Aligning the CodeMeta vocabulary for scientific software with schema.org

DataCite Open Hours are an opportunity for anyone in the community to hear the latest updates, ask questions and engage with DataCite staff and other community members. Sometimes there’s even a festive pub quiz! Open Hours also provides an informal, interactive forum to learn from and share with the DataCite community and gather feedback for our roadmap, which is essential to our mission.

Open hours updates: Spring re-launch &amp; open hours for consortium leads

Last month I shared our Vision 2021 that puts into action the goals set out in our strategic plan. In this post I want to share about our strategic visioning activity that we will collectively embark on as a community. As a community we are driven by our mission and vision: Our Vision: Connecting research, identifying knowledge. Our Mission: DataCite’s mission is to be the world’s leading provider of persistent identifiers for research.

What is next? Launching our Strategic Visioning Process

For the last 3 years, we have been sending an annual survey to our members (for previous results, see https://doi.org/10.5438/0x81-y943 and https://doi.org/10.5438/99ne-g618) to receive input which helps us reflect on how we did and how we can improve moving forward. In this blog post, we want to share the outcomes of the 2020 survey and also take the opportunity to look at some of the changes we see compared to previous surveys.

Looking back and looking forward: the 2020 member survey

At the end of last year, we had the opportunity to reflect on 2020 (@https://doi.org/10.5438/dc6e-ht89) as a year and plan for 2021. It was certainly a challenging year for all of us in the community and it is during these times that we realize our collective strength! Despite the challenges that we had, DataCite continued to grow as a global community working together.

2021 underway!

As 2020 comes to a close, we reflect back on a year of global uncertainty and many challenges faced by our entire community. It can only be described as a year of the unexpected, and it demonstrated the importance of communities working together. Despite the challenges we faced this year, DataCite also had a year with lots to celebrate and it is important to reflect on some of the highlights.

Reflecting on 2020

The DataCite EZ API was first introduced in 2017 to assist those of our Members who transitioned from the California Digital Library (CDL) EZID service. Users were able to make the same API calls they used to make to EZID, just using the DataCite endpoint instead. This was introduced as a temporary solution to support easy transition of services. Finally, 4 years later, it is time to retire the DataCite EZ API.

Sunsetting of the EZ API

DataCite is pleased to welcome Suzanne Vogt to our team. Suzanne joined DataCite as an application developer in November 2020.

Welcome Suzanne to the DataCite Team!

Richard Wynne

DataCite occasionally has guest blog posts that illustrate how the community makes use of DataCite services or metadata. In this post, we hear from Richard Wynne from Rescognito, who have started using DataCite metadata to explore how persistent identifiers can be used to recognize a broader set of research contributions.

How would you recognize the contributions made by a dataset?

As DataCite continues to scale as a global community with members across 43 countries, it is important that we make sure our operations and policies align to support our growing community of members. Earlier this year we set out the Vision 2020, which included optimising internal operations, systems and processes as one of the strategic priorities for this year.

DataCite is a community of libraries, research institutions, and data centers that house repositories. We often receive questions about how exactly we work with repositories, so we wanted to take this opportunity to answer your top 10 questions. How does DataCite define a repository? We define a repository as a service operated by research organizations, where research materials are stored, managed, and made accessible.

The why, what, and how of repositories

DataCite is looking for a full-stack application developer to join the DataCite development team. DataCite is a leading global non-profit organization that provides persistent identifiers (DOIs) for research. DataCite was founded in 2009 to support the research community in identifying, locating, accessing, and citing research outputs with confidence.

Richard Hallett

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new persistent identifier (PID) services registry available at https://pidservices.org, a new service to find services built upon different PIDs from core technology providers and those who integrate from across a variety of disciplinary areas.

Introducing the PID Services Registry

We recognize that as a community-driven organization, our Members make use of various platforms or systems to help them manage their DOI workflow. Many of our Members make use of repository platforms, CRIS systems or other services.

DataCite Registered Service Providers: Providing DOI registration functionality to DataCite Members

As the world continues to feel the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, access to reliable scientific information is more important than ever. DataCite’s mission is to provide the means to create, find, cite, connect, and use research. DataCite members make their datasets and other research outputs findable, accessible and citable by registering DOIs. Importantly, registered DOIs have associated metadatas.

Making Data Discoverable Through Better Metadata

As a growing global community of 202 members across 42 countries, this year we hosted the Business Meeting of the General Assembly virtually to include as many members of our community as possible. The meeting focused on approving the budget, approving the next steps on the business model, and the Executive Board elections. Along with DataCite’s members, the Executive Board is the governing body of the association.

2020 Executive Board Elections

In a blog post four weeks ago DataCite Executive Director Matt Buys talked about the DataCite strategic priorities for 2020 [@https://doi.org/10.5438/9j86-bv91]. In this post we want to talk a bit more about the strategic priorities for this year we have regarding services and infrastructure work: a) consolidation of our services and infrastructure, and b) stronger emphasis on member-driven product development.

2020 Strategic Priorities for Services and Infrastructure

At the end of each year we survey our members to help us set priorities for the next year. Last year we shared the outcomes of the 2018 member survey on our blog, and now it’s time to update you on the results from 2019! We sent out the member survey last November and received 50 responses from five different continents.

Setting DataCite’s priorities: the 2019 member survey

Since its launch in 2012, re3data has become the resource of information about research data repositories. It indexes and provides extensive information about more than 2450 research data repositories.

German Research Foundation to fund new services of re3data

A new year, a new decade. Since our founding in 2009, DataCite has collaborated closely with the research community to expand our services, increase our membership, and promote an open culture of data sharing.

Vision 2020

Two weeks and counting! What seems like a whirlwind has passed by in a flash. Today I take a moment to reflect on my first two weeks as DataCite’s Executive Director and share some of my initial impressions. My first week at DataCite had me on my way to Edinburgh to attend FORCE2019. This was an excellent opportunity to engage with members of our community and team.

Stronger together!

“As an institution, I want to see all my research outputs”  As you know, we’ve been collaborating on ROR, which launched earlier this year, in order to make open persistent identifiers for research organizations a reality. With the most recent updates to our metadata schema, it’s now possible for our members and their repositories to add ROR IDs as affiliation identifiers in the metadata they submit to DataCite.

Affiliation Facet – New in DataCite Search

Following the updates to the DataCite member model earlier this year, we have been working with several organizations on establishing DataCite consortia. We are therefore very excited to announce that the DataCite Canada Consortium will launch on January 1, 2020!

Good news for the new year: the DataCite Canada Consortium will launch on January 1, 2020

Our OAI-PMH service is one of the common ways we offer to harvest our public metadata, and we are launching a new version this Wednesday. This technology refresh allows us to continue supporting the OAI-PMH service. For the most part, there is no functional change, we adhere to the OAI-PMH standards and have attempted to keep the service as backward compatible as possible.

OAI-PMH Service Updates

As a community organization, it is important that we have the opportunity to meet regularly to engage in open dialog about DataCite related matters. I have really enjoyed meeting with many of you over the past month and gaining a better understanding of what DataCite can do for you. The staff and I are always available for calls or meetings whenever you have questions or suggestions.
