CHORUS and DataCite have signed a two-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to coordinate efforts to adopt identifiers and standards to manage access to and reporting of research outputs.
Authoritative connections between researchers and their works, funding sources, and affiliations, are essential for delivering public access to scholarly content. As not-for-profit organisations engaged in supporting discoverability in scholarly communications, both DataCite and CHORUS have an important contribution to make creating and supporting these links.
The organisations commit to dialog and cooperation on the following topics: Supporting simple and non-ambiguous links between datasets, researchers and their funding; Displaying links between CHORUS content and DataCite DOIs in the CHORUS dashboards and reports; Building awareness of DataCite services among funding agency researchers and administrators; and Encouraging the use of persistent identifiers for researchers and organisations to support public access to research works.
DataCite and CHORUS will engage in regular strategic conversations at the leadership level and will support specific engagements with relevant groups to support these goals.
