DataCite, DOIs and Theses

A workshop for UK institutions to find out more about using DataCite to get DOIs for data and theses in their repositories. We will give an introduction to DataCite in the morning, which will be aimed at those not already working with us. In the afternoon we will hear from Stephen Grace at UEL and discuss as a community the use of DOIs for theses and their data. We invite everyone interested, those who are and are not working with DataCite in the UK, to join us for lunch and the afternoon session.
