There are a number of criteria that data centres need to meet in order to use the DataCite service. Data centres can then trial DOI allocation for a short period and, if the outcome is successful, a contract and payment needs to be agreed before we allocate a dedicated DOI prefix to the centre. Data centres who wish to work with us must: Have the authority to assign DOIs to data Provide a publicly open landing page, the mandatory metadata, and a URL that links to the data Agree that the mandatory and any additional metadata will be made freely available for discovery purposes Have a clear and public indication to make the data available over the long-term These obligations are required to ensure that DOIs created within DataCite remain persistent and trustworthy identifiers of research data. ↑ Back What are DOIs? What is ORCID? As researchers and scholars, you face the ongoing challenge of distinguishing your research activities from those of others with similar names.
You need to be able to easily and uniquely attach your identity to research objects such as datasets, equipment, articles, media stories, citations, experiments, patents, and notebooks.

When the next typhoon batters the coastal region of a poorer nation, the number of families dislocated, the infrastructures damaged and the crops destroyed will all have been exacerbated by the 20cm rise in sea level that our emissions of carbon dioxide have already triggered.
Climate change is the lived reality of many millions of people today, people with little responsibility for the increase in emissions but who nevertheless suffer the consequences. Fossil fuels, whether coal, oil or gas, emit large quantities of carbon dioxide when combusted. Shale gas is no different. In all practical terms it is simply natural gas comprising (by mass) 25% hydrogen and 75% carbon. Wrestling any hydrocarbon from the ground is an inevitably messy, noisy and periodically dangerous and environmentally destructive process. Science can only advise on the parameters of what’s dangerous; defining it is ultimately a political undertaking. BBC Voices - Accents and dialects. Short description: Recordings in this collection can be played by anyone.
The BBC Voices project provided a snapshot of the linguistic landscape of the UK at the start of the 21st century by encouraging members of the public to contribute their words and reflect on the language they use and encounter in their daily lives. Long description: An online data gathering exercise carried out by BBC Nations and Regions was complemented by an audio strand: the BBC Voices Recordings. The Listening Project. The Listening Project is a partnership between BBC Radio and the British Library that invites people to share an intimate conversation, to be recorded and broadcast by the BBC and, if suitable, curated and archived by the British Library.
These conversations will form a unique picture of our lives today, preserved for future generations. Visit The Listening Project website (BBC) and get involved. Throughout the Project, our experts will be discussing these conversations and highlighting related recordings in the archive, on their Sounds blog.
