DataCite DOI
DataCite is a leading DOI provider that focuses on assigning Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to research data, datasets, and other scholarly resources. DataCite plays a crucial role in enabling researchers to share, discover, and cite data across various academic disciplines. When a dataset is uploaded to a repository that uses DataCite, a DOI is generated, ensuring the dataset has a persistent, stable link for future reference. This makes it easier to locate and cite datasets, ensuring long-term access and proper credit. DataCite also supports metadata standards, helping ensure data is well-documented and accessible for reuse in the research community.
