Exploring DataCite Metadata in OpenAlex

OpenAlex, the world’s largest catalog of open research information, has added DataCite DOI metadata to its index to enhance the visibility and discoverability of datasets, preprints, awards, and other research outputs and activities. In this webinar, we will showcase the new integration, explain how users can work with OpenAlex to find and analyze DataCite DOIs and their relationships, and share tips for DataCite members about optimizing their metadata for discoverability. Speakers: Kyle Demes (COO, OurResearch) Maria Gould (Director of Strategic Programs and Partnerships, DataCite) A recording of the presentation can be found on the DataCite YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/hZaxHDBie4c?si=nO-k7MGRIPl2N74l

Abstract

OpenAlex, the world’s largest catalog of open research information, has added DataCite DOI metadata to its index to enhance the visibility and discoverability of datasets, preprints, awards, and other research outputs and activities. In this webinar, we will showcase the new integration, explain how users can work with OpenAlex to find and analyze DataCite DOIs and their relationships, and share tips for DataCite members about optimizing their metadata for discoverability. Speakers: Kyle Demes (COO, OurResearch) Maria Gould (Director of Strategic Programs and Partnerships, DataCite) A recording of the presentation can be found on the DataCite YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/hZaxHDBie4c?si=nO-k7MGRIPl2N74l
