Implementing FAIR Workflows: A Proof of Concept Study in the Field of Consciousness is a 3-year project funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation. In this project, DataCite works with a number of partners on providing an exemplar workflow that researchers can use to implement FAIR practices throughout their research lifecycle.

We are thrilled to introduce three new Application Developers who are joining the DataCite team. Each one brings a unique set of skills, experiences, and passions. We are excited to have them on board, and we look forward to their impact in working on the Open Global Data Citation Corpus and other DataCite services. Together, we will continue to pave the way for a more open and collaborative research landscape. Welcome! Welcome Ashwini!

DataCite is thrilled to launch the Global Access Fund (GAF), established to enable organizations worldwide to make their research outputs discoverable. It will provide financial support for both outreach activities and infrastructure development to enable organizations in regions and communities currently underrepresented in the global open science infrastructure landscape to benefit from DataCite infrastructure services.

The Public Knowledge Project (PKP) and DataCite are pleased to announce that PKP is now a DataCite Registered Service Provider. The PKP collaborates with scholarly publishing and infrastructure communities to develop and maintain Open Journal Systems (OJS), Open Monograph Press (OMP), and Open Preprint Systems (OPS) publishing software.

Hi everyone – I am very delighted to be a part of the DataCite team! I joined DataCite in early July 2023 as the Operations & HR Manager. I am excited for this new opportunity and to be able to collaborate with such a great team of people. My responsibilities in this role will include supporting the daily operations of the organization as well as creating and maintaining HR policies and procedures.

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.

Scott Edmunds is Editor-in-Chief at GigaScience Press, which has worked closely with DataCite since 2011, as part of the publisher’s commitment to open science and open data. Scott is a member of the Make Data Count advisory group and supports the initiative’s efforts to make it possible to evaluate the usage of data in the later steps of the data-sharing cycle, so that we can better assess the benefits of public sharing of data.

Do you know that Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) can be assigned to all research outputs? A DOI, which is a type of Persistent Identifier (PID), could be assigned and used for various research outputs such as datasets, research software, dissertations, grants, peer review reports, and the list goes on. The end goal is to capture all these interactions within the research ecosystem in what we call a PID Graph.

Do you have a feeling that a lot is happening in the open data space? Then you are not alone. Over the last decade, I've touched on various parts of the open data world including from an editorial perspective and more recently in considering data publishing ethics. I am thrilled to be joining DataCite on June 1, 2023, to full -time focus on the adoption and recognition of open data.
