Make your research visible and create more impact using DataCite DOIs

Research needs visibility and persistence in order to be found, cited and re-used. Registering persistent identifiers (PIDs) for research outputs supports this. A PID such as a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) helps researchers to increase the visibility and impact of their publications, research data, and other research outputs. This webinar, organized by AfLIA and DataCite, gives an overview of the value that PIDs provide, how researchers can start using PIDs and how organizations can register DOIs for different research outputs. In addition to speakers from DataCite, representatives from the UbuntuNet Alliance and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) will share their experiences of being a DataCite member.

Increase your impact through better metadata!

Persistent identifiers (PIDs) are necessary to facilitate discoverability, citation, and re-use of research outputs today and in the future. A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is one such a PID and helps research institutions and researchers to increase the visibility and impact of their publications.

This webinar, organized by AfLIA and DataCite, gives an introduction to DataCite DOIs, addresses the relevance of DOI metadata, and shows step-by-step how to get a DataCite DOI.

FORAGE: the hunt for existing data citations

Make Data Count (MDC) is a scholarly change initiative, made up of researchers and open infrastructure experts, building and advocating for evidence-based open data metrics. Throughout MDC’s tenure, various areas key to the development of research data assessment metrics have been identified. Please join a Spring seminar and discussion series centered around priority work areas, adjacent initiatives to learn from, and steps that can be taken immediately to drive diverse research communities towards assessment and reward for open data.

The first webinar titled “FORAGE: the hunt for existing data citations” will focus on the issue of finding and aggregating citations, how we can extend open citation initiatives to data, and how we can get known citations into a centralized open place.

EXPLORE: the need for an open classification system

Make Data Count (MDC) is a scholarly change initiative, made up of researchers and open infrastructure experts, building and advocating for evidence-based open data metrics. Throughout MDC’s tenure, various areas key to the development of research data assessment metrics have been identified. Please join a Spring seminar and discussion series centered around priority work areas, adjacent initiatives to learn from, and steps that can be taken immediately to drive diverse research communities towards assessment and reward for open data.

The second webinar titled “EXPLORE: the need for an open classification system” will deal with the issue that most datasets do not have subject information. However, meaningful data metrics cannot be developed without disciplinary contexts; the scholarly communications community needs an open classification system for research outputs (articles, journals, datasets etc.) - is this feasible?

Open new possibilities with Open Infrastructure

Crossref, DataCite, and ORCID work together to provide foundational open infrastructure that is integral to the global research ecosystem. We offer unique, persistent identifiers (PIDs)—Crossref and DataCite DOIs for research outputs and ORCID iDs for people—alongside collecting comprehensive, open metadata that is non-proprietary, accessible, interoperable, and available across borders, disciplines, and time.

IGSN IDs – All Sample Types, All Disciplines

In October 2021, DataCite and the International Generic Sample Number (IGSN) e.V. announced a partnership to foster worldwide adoption, implementation, and utilization of persistent identifiers for material samples. Under this partnership, DataCite is ensuring the ongoing sustainability of the IGSN ID infrastructure and is working with the IGSN e.V. to scale both IGSN IDs usage and sample community engagement and to develop sample identifier practice standards.
