Many things have changed in the last two years in the research community. Data publication and data citation are becoming a standard in different communities, and DataCite is proud to support the development of best practices and services for these emerging initiatives. In 2014, the DataCite Metadata Schema 3.1 was launched to support better affiliation information and new relation types.
