DataCite
What is DataCite?
Register your DOIs with EUDAT DataCite Consortium
A DataCite consortium is a group of like-minded organizations that have come together to collectively participate in DataCite’s community and governance activities and use DataCite’s DOI services. Consortia are generally located in a single country or subject-based. Ιn EUDAT we follow the subject-based consortia. Organizations within a consortium can work with one or more repositories.
Who can Participate
EUDAT DataCite consortium is not limited to EUDAT CDI members.
- Organisations affiliated with EUDAT that operate a B2 service or a service based on EUDAT technology can make use of the Datacite DOI's under the EUDAT organization.
- EUDAT CDI members: EUDAT CDI members with a service that requires DOIs are eligible to make use of the DataCite DOI's under the EUDAT organization.
- Organizations from Projects / Periodicals from Projects: Organizations in projects, where EUDAT participates too, can join the EUDAT Datacite Consortium.
- Research performing organisations within the European Union / EEA can become a EUDAT DataCite member in the EUDAT Datacite Consortium.
A Review Team is ready to assess the requests and decide on the outcome of the request based on specific criteria.
Benefits
- DOI is a persistent identifier (PID) widely used by the research community and is a key part of ensuring research outputs abide by the FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) Data Principles.
- The offering of digital object identifiers (DOI) addresses a wide range of use cases that needs DOIs:
- A global community, learning, collaborating, and advocating with a leading-edge network of research experts
- A community developing tools and services that accelerate sharing, use, and reuse of research output
- Low Cost & Single contact when providers are running EUDAT services
Resource offers
Resource offers
Via the EUDAT DataCite Consortium we support the creation and management of DOIs and metadata records, enhance research workflows with service integration, and enable the discovery and reuse of research outputs and resources.
Being a member of the EUDAT DataCite Consortium is perfect for organizations seeking a collaborative and cost-effective way to manage research outputs and enhance their discoverability. Membership provides access to DataCite’s DOI registration services and support for implementing FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). By joining the consortium, members benefit from shared expertise, community-driven best practices, and a streamlined approach to assigning persistent identifiers.
Being a member of the EUDat DataCite Consortium - is perfect for
- Researchers or end users because DataCite provides tools and services that enhance the visibility, accessibility, and impact of their work. Metadata registered with DataCite makes research outputs more easily found in databases, repositories, and search engines. They can cite and be cited more effectively using DOIs, which improve the accuracy and consistency of references in academic work. They can also monitor how their outputs are cited and used, providing insights into their work's influence
- Communities and other providers, such as repositories, libraries, and publishers, as DataCite facilitates the management, discoverability, and impact of shared research outputs. By providing DOIs with rich metadata, reliable, long-term access to resources like datasets, articles, and software is ensured while promoting adherence to FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable).
Service fee
This fee consists of two components: an Organization Fee (500 € per year) and a tier-based DOI Fee. For the DOI Fee, we have 2 cases:
- For User will a small number of DOIs
For the institutions registering less than 500 DOIs, we use the FEE model (pays based on usage). - For User with number of DOIs > 500
For the institutions registering more than 500 DOIs, we use the CAP model
