DataCite-based metadata

InvenioRDMs internal metadata is based on the DataCite Metadata Schema which is a simple yet powerful format for describing nearly any research output (paper, data, software, ...).

DOI registration via DataCite

InvenioRDM can register DOIs with DataCite for all records, and allows you to write plugins for other identifier schemes.

Strong support for persistent identifiers

Authors, affiliations, licenses, related papers/datasets, etc. can all be identified via persistent identifiers such as ORCIDs and RORs.
