DataCite
What is DataCite?
We are a not-for-profit organisation formed in London on 1 December 2009. Our 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.
These goals are laid down in the DataCite statutes.
Members
While datasets are shared and accessed globally, researchers work within national funding and organisational frameworks. DataCite therefore operates globally, with national representation.
