During June, 2022 I wrote the blog Universities@DataCite describing insights into DataCite usage in over 450 universities. I discussed resource types overall and in specific repositories, affiliations, connectivity, and collaboration. Since that time, capabilities of the global research infrastructure have increased significantly with the introduction of the DataCite Commons – the first interactive viewer for the PID Graph.

I will revisit that work in this webinar, exploring how universities are currently using the Global Research Infrastructure and focusing on connectivity for universities and university researchers, including results from the DataCite Commons. I will also describe repository re-curation processes and how they might be used to improve this connectivity.
