DataCite

DataCite is an international consortium which aims to:

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

Background

Datacite was founded in London on 1 Dec 2009, by organisations from 6 countries: the British Library; the Technical Information Center of Denmark (DTIC); the TU Delft Library from the Netherlands; the National Research Council’s Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (NRC-CISTI); the California Digital Library (University of California Curation Center)[1]; Purdue University (USA)[2]; and the German National Library of Science and Technology (TIB)[3].

After the founding of DataCite, leading research libraries and information centres converged for the first official members’ convention in Paris on the 5th February. The inclusion of five further members was approved in the office of the International Council for Science (ICSU): Australian National Data Service (ANDS)[4]; Australia Deutsche Zentralbibliothek für Medizin (ZB MED); Germany GESIS - Leibniz-Institut für Sozialwissenschaften; Germany Institute for Scientific and Technical Information (INIST)[5]; and the France Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich, Switzerland.
