TU Delft Library

The TU Delft Library is the hub of knowledge for technical and scientific information and the largest technical-scientific library in the Netherlands. We support research and education at the national level and are part of the Delft University of Technology.

TU Delft Library is a founding member of DataCite and a regional office for the Netherlands. TU Delft Library has established DataCite Netherlands to serve as a central research dataset registration service that will enable Dutch research organizations to register research datasets and assign digital object identifiers (DOIs) to them.

Our aim is to support researchers by improving access to research data and to increase acceptance of the research data as legitimate, citable contributions to scientific record through trustworthy registration and identification of datasets.

The current focus of DataCite Netherlands is on promoting the use of digital object identifiers for datasets.
