Connecting Research, FAIR Data Practices

Abstract

PIDs and their metadata support scholarly research and its increasing amounts and variety of scholarly output. DataCite provides services which enable the research community to identify, connect, cite and track these outputs, making content FAIR. New services include data level metrics and the use of identifiers for organizations and new types of content, e.g. software, repositories and instruments. As an open, collaborative and community driven membership organization we rely on our members for their input and experience to build services that are beneficial for the research community as a whole. DataCite services as well as current and future initiatives will be described and it will be shown how members can contribute and benefit. Over the course of the years, our membership has grown and diversified and we are therefore refreshing and clarifying our member model. The new member model will be presented and described.
