A brief introdcution to DataCite and its services.

1. What is DataCite?
Jan Brase,
DataCite - TIB
RDA launch
March 19.
Gothenburg

2. How to citable data?
Science is global
• it needs global standards
• Global workflows
• Cooperation of global players
Science is carried out locally
• By local scientist
• Beeing part of local infrastrucures
• Having local funders

3. Global consortium carried by local institutions
focused on improving the scholarly infrastructure
around datasets and other non-textual
information
focused on working with data centres and
organisations that hold content
Providing standards, workflows and best-practice
Initially, but not exclusivly based on the DOI system
Founded December 1st 2009 in London

What type of data are we talking about?
Anything that is the foundation
of further reserach
is research data
Data is evidence

10. 2012: STM and DataCite Joint Statement
1. To improve the availability and findability of research data,
Datacite and STM encourage authors of research papers to
deposit researcher validated data in trustworthy
and reliable Data Archives.
2. Datacite and STM encourage Data Archives to enable bi-
directional linking between datasets and
publications by using established and community endorsed
unique persistent identifiers such as database accession
codes and DOI's.
3. DataCite and STM encourage publishers and data archives to
make visible or increase visibility of these links from
publications to datasets and vice versa
