When DataCite members register DOIs, this information about research outputs and activities is made openly available for indexing in downstream services. These services reuse DataCite DOI metadata to facilitate research discovery, analysis, and tracking. This broad adoption highlights the value of high-quality, consistent metadata in connecting research outputs and resources.
