DataCite Canada Consortium
DataCite Canada Consortium
CRKN supports Canadian institutions in registering DOIs through DataCite.
DataCite is a global non-profit organization dedicated to making data and scholarly content more accessible and citable. DataCite’s core activity is providing digital object identifier (DOI) and associated metadata registration. DOIs are persistent identifiers (PIDs) for digital objects which are widely used for identifying published content, datasets, and other scholarly research outputs. There are over 700,000 DOIs registered in Canada with DataCite.
The DataCite Canada Consortium, co-managed by CRKN and the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (the Alliance), is a collective of organizations and institutions registering DOIs in Canada through DataCite. CRKN provides administration, licensing, and financial services, including all invoicing to DataCite Canada Consortium members. The Alliance provides best practices guidance and technical support. CRKN and the Alliance work together to engage the community (e.g., via community calls).
Benefits of DataCite Canada
The DataCite Canada Consortium ensures that Canadian institutions who have integrated DataCite as part of their infrastructure are sustainably supported. Additionally, consortium members benefit from:
- The ability to mint DOIs either via the web-based Fabrica system or through the API using existing systems
- Preferential pricing compared with direct membership
- A dedicated support team for all administrative, financial, and technical needs
- A committed Canadian community of practice
- A consortium governance structure that delivers on the strategic integration of DOIs and other persistent identifiers in the Canadian scholarly communications infrastructure
- A global data-sharing community and the opportunity to collaborate with a leading-edge network of data research experts
