Initiated by the University of Tartu Library and the University of Tartu Natural History Museum and funded by the Estonian Research Council, the University of Tartu joined DataCite in 2014 and acquired the right to assign unique Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) to research data created in Estonia.
During this year, the activities were centred on the developing of the web-based platform for DataCite Estonia, the University of Tartu research data repository DataDOI, and automated solutions for the databases PlutoF and SARV. The first DOIs were assigned to the research data in the repository QsarDB.
