datacite_search_worksread-onlySearch DataCite DOI metadata for datasets, software, samples, workflows, and other research outputs. Combine plain words (`text`) or OpenSearch query syntax (`query`) with filters for resource type, creator (ORCID iD or name), affiliation (ROR ID or name), affiliation country, funder (ROR ID, Crossref Funder ID, or name), subject, field of science, repository, provider, license, language, geograph
datacite_get_workread-onlyFetch the full deposited DataCite metadata for one DOI: titles, creators and contributors with ORCID iDs and ROR affiliations, publisher, dates, version, subjects, descriptions, funding, geolocations, rights, sizes and formats, related identifiers with their relation types, repository and provider, and citation, reference, version, part, view, and download counts. Long lists are capped with their
datacite_trace_relationsread-onlyMap the relation graph around one DOI â versions, parts, supplements, derivations, documentation, citations, references, and every other DataCite relation type â as nodes and directed edges that keep the relationType exactly as asserted and name each edge's source: the DOI's own metadata, other DataCite records that point at it, or DataCite Event Data (citation links harvested from Crossref an
datacite_search_repositoriesread-onlyFind DataCite repository accounts by name or description text, field of science, repository type, certification (e.g. CoreTrustSeal), software platform, client type, or parent provider, or look up known repository IDs. Returns each repository's repositoryId â the value datacite_search_works takes in repository_ids â with its providerId, name, type, certificates, software, subjects, homepage, a
datacite_get_citationread-onlyRender one DataCite DOI as a formatted citation in a CSL style and locale (APA in US English by default), or as a machine-readable record: CSL JSON, BibTeX, RIS, DataCite JSON or XML, Schema.org JSON-LD, Codemeta, or JATS. A style the upstream renderer does not support â an unknown id or a dependent journal style â is rejected instead of silently rendered as APA. Formatted text comes back as p
datacite_list_referenceread-onlyLook up the controlled vocabularies and identifier forms the other datacite_* tools accept: resource types, relation types with their inverses and groups, related-identifier types, date and contributor types, fields of science, common license ids, repository types, certificates, software platforms, client types, sort orders, query-syntax field paths, citation formats, verified citation styles and
