They allow the identification, referencing, sharing and citing of data to increase their visibility.

A dedicated team within Inist-CNRS is at your disposal to advise you concerning the attribution of a DOI to your research data (supply of DOI prefixes, help with the creation and conversion of metadata etc.). The team also accompanies you in the use of different services proposed by DataCite.
