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.
DataCite use cases around the world: Welcome to our blog series shining a spotlight on how research institutions integrate DataCite infrastructure into their systems and workflows.
The DataCite Global Access Fund (GAF) is a strategic initiative designed to enhance equitable access to research infrastructure by supporting organizations in regions and communities currently underrepresented in the global open science infrastructure landscape. In this blog post series, we will explore the projects of the GAF awardees, sharing insights into the outcomes and future aspirations. Each of the blog posts will focus on how the projects lead to the creation of a more inclusive global research community, sharing what they have achieved so far and outlining their plans for further development and impact.
In today's rapidly evolving scholarly landscape, the role of libraries in raising awareness about metadata, open research practices, and the importance of integrating persistent identifiers (PIDs) into research workflows is more crucial than ever. Recently, Busitema University Library organized a week-long event to equip library professionals, ICT practitioners, and research administrators with the skills and knowledge to advocate for open-access initiatives, implement institutional repositories and utilise DataCite's open infrastructure services.

One of the key factors in making research outputs discoverable is assigning unique, persistent identifiers (PIDs) along with rich metadata. DataCite provides services to register Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), which provide a persistent way of identifying and accessing a particular resource.

csv,conf es un evento impulsado por la comunidad y organizado al 100% por voluntarios para creadores de datos de todo el mundo. Esta conferencia sirve como una plataforma para compartir conocimientos y fomentar la colaboración entre aficionados a los datos, contribuyentes de código abierto, académicos y más. La octava edición de csv,conf se llevó a cabo del 27 al 30 de mayo en Puebla, México. Después de un muy exitoso csv,conf,v7 en Buenos Aires, esta edición se realizó en la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (BUAP), siendo una conferencia bilingüe (inglés y español) por segunda vez.

DataCite use cases around the world: Welcome to our blog series shining a spotlight on how research institutions integrate DataCite infrastructure into their systems and workflows.
Metadata forms the backbone of open scholarly infrastructure, enabling the discoverability, accessibility, and understanding of research outputs and resources. When repositories register Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) with DataCite, they use the DataCite Metadata Schema to describe each research output or resource.
Through the 2021 partnership between DataCite and IGSN e.V., DataCite services can be used to register International Generic Sample Numbers (IGSN IDs) for material samples. Over the coming months, the blog series ‘IGSN ID Implementation Exemplars’ will showcase sample management workflows developed by the community that incorporate IGSN ID registration. In each post, we offer practical guidance on how to work alongside disciplinary sample experts to register IGSN IDs within DataCite services.
GFZ Data Services is hosted at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences. It is a research data repository for DOI-referenced data and scientific software from the Geosciences, and provides IGSN ID registration for geosamples. GFZ Data Services was a founding member of IGSN e.V. in 2011, and until 31 December 2022, when the IGSN PID infrastructure transitioned under DataCite, GFZ Data Services was responsible for managing the central IGSN handle server that registered more than 10.5 Million IGSN IDs. As IGSN Allocating Agent, GFZ Data Services has assigned close to 39,000 material samples with IGSN IDs for its community. Almost 3,000 IGSN IDs have been directly registered within DataCite services since the transition.
