DataCite helps researchers to find, access, and reuse data

Datacite is a not-for-profit organisation formed in London on 1 December 2009. Its aim is to:

  • establish easier access to research data on the Internet
  • increase acceptance of research data as legitimate, citable contributions to the scholarly record
  • support data archiving that will permit results to be verified and re-purposed for future study.

Flyers, posters, and web banners

Support DataCite and advocate good data citation practice by spreading the word to your colleagues and friends. Our advocacy page has flyers, posters, and web banners for you to download and distribute.

DataCite Metadata Schema

The DataCite Metadata Schema is a list of core metadata properties chosen for the accurate and consistent identification of data for citation and retrieval purposes, along with recommended use instructions.

The latest version of our Metadata Schema is available for download via our website.

List of repositories of research data

DataCite has started to collate a list of repositories for research data, for internal reference and as a resource for researchers looking to deposit and find data. The list is a working document and we encourage community participation in its development. A copy of the list can be downloaded from Google Docs.

 

Organisational structure

Just as research is global, DataCite is global, with member institutions offering services and advice directly where they are needed by the researchers.

We consist of a Managing Agent, currently the German National Library of Science and Technology, with Members and Associate Members around the world.
