On June 10, 2024, we hosted the DataCite Connect Prague event, collocated with PIDfest. We are happy that 40 community members joined us to discuss how we can collectively make the most of metadata. Bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders, the event facilitated presentations and offered space for lively discussions.  The session began with a warm welcome and introduction of the DataCite team by Helena Cousijn.

‘If you want to create good and tasty food, then you must have love and respect for the person who will consume it’. This was the key message that the DataCite Team was taught when learning to cook Moroccan food at our recent retreat, and one that is pertinent to not only serving guests in your home but also for DataCite when developing services for the community. Appetizer 🥗 It is that time of year again already!

In the dynamic landscape of organizational growth and innovation, progress isn’t just about moving forward—it’s about navigating through our distinct strategic pillars that uphold the foundation of our journey at DataCite. As we continue on our reflective journey through our achievements and aspirations, let’s review the progress made across each pillar.

DataCite and ARDC are pleased to announce a strategic partnership to deliver RAiD, a service and system to identify and track research projects and activities. The DataCite–ARDC partnership is a pivotal step in providing a fast, robust, high quality, and reliable RAiD service for researchers that will be sustained over the long term. DataCite is a community-led organisation with a vision to connect research and advance knowledge.

The DataCite Metadata Working Group has been working on the next batch of Metadata Schema changes—and we need your feedback! Today, we are sharing a new Request for Comments (RFC) with several proposed changes to the DataCite Metadata Schema. Since Schema 4.5 was finalized, we have been working on numerous ideas put forward by the DataCite community—some of which are reflected in this RFC.

Today, we are releasing DataCite’s first public data file with metadata for over 52 million DOIs.  DataCite DOI metadata has always been openly available. In line with our commitment to the POSI principles, we make all metadata registered with DataCite part of the public domain through a CC0 copyright waiver.

At DataCite, we are dedicated to fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the advancement of best practices within communities worldwide. In line with this commitment, we are excited to announce the launch of the DataCite Consortia Partnership Program.
