DOI: 10.60804/QNXH-9H83 Kicking off the year, we had the pleasure of announcing the first release of the Data Citation Corpus. In response to the multiple expressions of interest in learning more about the project and in using the data file for the corpus, we held a webinar dedicated to the Data Citation Corpus.

**Why data citations? ** Data citations are a useful measure to gain understanding on the use of research data. Data citations recognize the individual(s) or organization(s) that collected and shared the data, and researcher surveys regularly show that researchers value receiving citations to their dataset (see for example The State of Open Data report, or research by Kathleen Gregory and colleagues).

First-of-its-kind aggregation brings together millions of data citations to advance understanding of data usage https://doi.org/10.60804/r14z-mw10 DataCite, in partnership with the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI), is delighted to announce the first release of the Data Citation Corpus.

https://doi.org/10.5438/fz2h-4092 A critical piece of open data infrastructure that has received insufficient attention is the evaluation of data usage. We still lack a clear understanding and a body of evidence on how data are being accessed, utilized, and incorporated into research activities.

Unfortunately, due in part to a lack of metadata, i.e. about disciplinary domains, many of those promises remain out of reach. Metadata providers – repositories, publishers and researchers – play a key role in improving the current situation.  * The potentials of data citations are many.

https://doi.org/10.60804/CQWN-8V24 Following advice from our workshop attendees at RDA13, we invite you to join us for our spring webinar. Join us on May 8th at 8am PST/3pm GMT as we demo our new aggregation services at DataCite and DataONE. This webinar is intended to spotlight the features and services we can build off of our central infrastructure such as aggregated usage and citations.
