HomeWhich role does DataCite play in researchers’ data sharing and data (re)use practices?
Publication metadata
This case study analyses DataCite: an international non-for-profit organization founded in 2009, which aims to improve data citation by providing persistent identifiers (Digital Object Identifiers, DOIs) for research data. DataCite serves as a central point for organising research data and making it accessible and citable. The general objective of this case study is to investigate to what extent DataCite influences researchers’ behaviour. First the background of the DataCite infrastructure is presented, followed by a reflection on the mission, drivers and challenges of DataCite. Then, the study takes a closer look at a subset of DataCite records in order to determine how researchers use such facility in the production, sharing, and (re)use of datasets using DataCite records and a bibliographic database such as Scopus.
