We are a global community that shares a common interest: to ensure that research outputs and resources are openly available and connected so that their reuse can advance knowledge across and between disciplines, now and in the future. As a community, we make research more effective with metadata that connects research outputs and resources–from samples and images to data and preprints. We enable the creation and management of persistent identifiers (PIDs), integrate services to improve research workflows, and facilitate the discovery and reuse of research outputs and resources.</div><div class="governance-hero__tab tab-pane fade " id="v-pills-2" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="v-pills-2-tab">The strength of DataCite is based on its active membership.

Members are governed by the <a href="https://datacite.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Statutes_26April2022.pdf">statutes</a> (the bylaws and operating procedures) of the organization. The statutes are developed, ratified, and approved by the members. Members meet annually (General Assembly) to approve DataCite’s revenue and expenditures, stand and/or vote for the Executive Board, guide DataCite’s strategy, put forth resolutions and modify the association’s statutes. Members also participate in DataCite’s Steering and Working Groups and provide input on new member applications.</div><div class="governance-hero__tab tab-pane fade " id="v-pills-4" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="v-pills-4-tab">Along with DataCite’s members, the Executive Board is the governing body of the association. The Executive Board consists of a President, four Vice Presidents (one of them being the Deputy President) and a Treasurer. One member of the Executive Board is an ex-officio representative of the Business Office. Members of the Executive Board are elected by members at the annual General Assembly and serve for a period of two years.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div> <style> /* ---- tsparticles container ---- */ #tsparticles { position: absolute;
