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.

Standards & More Standards Metadata standards are fundamental to the semantic web and database management; they form the basis for data discovery, sharing, and organization across a range of domains.

The above was the theme of ‘Persistent Identifiers for Open Science in Japan (and Asia Pacific)’ [English/Japanese], held on 12 December 2023 in Tokyo and co-located with the International Symposium on Data Science 2023 (DSWS-2023; see below for more on this). This in-person event brought together local, regional, and international stakeholders to learn about what is happening within Japan and APAC (and beyond) to increase persistent identifier (PID) adoption, and network on how to better connect national and global research infrastructure. It was co-organized by ORCID and DataCite alongside their respective Consortium Leads in Japan, the Academic eXchange for Information Environment and Strategy (AXIES) and the Japan Link Center (JaLC; hosted by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)).
