Hi there,
In this newsletter, we encourage you to start citing data now to aid research integrity and reproducibility, and we share the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) inspiring journey towards complete metadata. Check out our 2023 data file packed with over 140M+ records. We also invite you to take our short survey that’s open until May 18 to help set metadata priorities (and plant a tree!). Additionally, we’re sharing insights from our recent community update.
Feel free to drop me a line anytime—happy to hear your feedback!

Data citation is very important for all types of scholarly works. It enhances transparency, reproducibility, and research integrity. We’ve made the process simple so our members can begin citing data now. Once the data citations are submitted, it will be openly shared with the community, including DataCite, through our services and APIs, and will appear in the (soon-to-be launched) Data Citation Corpus.

The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) made a concerted effort to improve its metadata quality. In a recent interview, they shared the challenges and successes they faced in changing their processes to capture richer metadata. They highlighted important factors such as organizational change, support, and understanding the main goal. Furthermore, they gained insights into the value of being flexible, accepting small changes, and acknowledging that the completion of one project can often facilitate the initiation of another.

During our recent Community update, we engaged with over 200 global members, focusing on the power of metadata and its role in building global connections. We discussed the expansion of our membership, the launch of our Relationship API endpoint, the opening of our Cited-by service, and more. We also shared initial insights from our Metadata Priorities Survey.
