Abstract

Since our founding in 2009, DataCite’s work has been guided by a singular and shared commitment to building and sustaining open infrastructure that everyone can participate in and benefit from. We are a community where all research organizations can belong and where all research outputs, resources, and activities can be shared, discovered, and connected. We have followed that founding principle while developing programs and services that address ongoing and emerging use cases, expand global access, and support long-term sustainability. And we’ve taken steps over the years to adapt our membership model alongside these developments, in consultation with our members, Executive Board, and broader community. We are now taking the next step forward in this journey.
