The British Library and DataCite
• The British Library is one of the original founding members of DataCite (2009)
• In 2010/11 we started pilot projects with a small number of data centres
• From 2012 we moved from a pilot phase in to offering a full service in the UK and increased the number of participating data centres to 11
• Slowly growing and as of today we have 22 organisations using the service (with more in the pipeline!)
• We provide the DataCite infrastructure in the UK, enabling data centres to ‘mint’ DOIs for data
• We work collaboratively with the research data community to provide advocacy and guidance on data citation
Who we are currently working with – a wide range of interest
