100 Million DataCite DOIs: More than Just a Number

This month, a quiet yet momentous event occurred in DataCite infrastructure: the registration of our 100 millionth DOI. 100 million is a huge number. And it says a lot about global adoption of DataCite and the scale of our community and infrastructure. But the bigger story behind this exciting headline is about what this number represents. So we are marking the milestone with a few reflections about its broader significance.

Abstract

This month, a quiet yet momentous event occurred in DataCite infrastructure: the registration of our 100 millionth DOI. 100 million is a huge number. And it says a lot about global adoption of DataCite and the scale of our community and infrastructure. But the bigger story behind this exciting headline is about what this number represents. So we are marking the milestone with a few reflections about its broader significance.
