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.

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.

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.

DataCite is a global community of research organizations with a common purpose. As part of this effort and aligned with our multi-year strategy, we launched a pilot to help our community track awards and related outputs. During the pilot, we registered award DOIs, coordinated on common challenges, established clear community guidelines, and will now work to improve our existing services to better support use cases.

PIDfest, jointly organized by NTK and ARDC, was held from June 11 -13 in Prague. The event brought together persistent identifier (PID) advocates, users, and leaders from around the world to solve real-world infrastructure challenges to accelerate research and innovation. DataCite was well represented during the event with presentations by our staff, members and partners.
