DOI resolution issue

Published by Sebastian Peters on 15 February 2012 - 10:32am

Currently some DataCite DOIs do not correctly resolve. This applies to almost all DOIs minted since 2012-02-02. So roughly 1000 DOIs or 0.08% of all DataCite DOIs are affected.

As far as we know this only affects DOI resolution but not registration. There will be no need to register those DOI again.

Engineers are currently working on the problem.

Conference on open access and open data

Published by Tom Pollard on 5 October 2010 - 12:00am

On 13-14 December 2010, the Conference on Open Access and Open Data will take place in Cologne. The conference will focus on how the open access movement has developed within the last five years and what is going to happen within the next five to ten years. While “open access” has become daily routine for scientists from many disciplines, access to research data has only recently been put on the agendas of libraries, data centres and research institutions.
