The DataCite Community Meeting 2024: Driving Quality Metadata and Reuse

DataCite welcomed over 370 participants from almost 300 institutions across 59 countries to our Annual Community Meeting on 25 September 2024. The DataCite Community Meeting was held across 10 sessions in three blocks and spanning all time zones, with some sessions repeated to give a regional focus. As ever, a number of sessions were designed to give our global community insights into DataCite, our current status, and the path ahead: Several DataCite Directors gave an overall view of the work in 2024 and our plans for 2025. Our new Product Team provided news on the DataCite Roadmap, including focal points in the upcoming month. The Team also introduced our Suggestions Portal on Github, a change to our process for contributing feedback for new product features and enhancements. Participants were updated on DataCite’s strategic partnerships and initiatives, with presentations on Make Data Count, RAiD, and DiSSCo, as well as DOIs for awards.
