New Tools: DataCite and FREYA Project Partners Officially Launch DataCite Commons, a Web Interface to Explore PID Graph

From DataCite:

DataCite and the FREYA project partners are proud to announce the official launch of DataCite Commons today. DataCite Commons is the web interface to explore the PID Graph, formed by the publications, datasets, research software, and other research outputs generated by researchers working at research institutions and supported by grant funding (???). The PID Graph depends on persistent identifiers to uniquely identify all these resources, and metadata that describe these resources and their connections.

We launched a pre-release version of DataCite Commons in August [Fenner (2020a)] and have used the last two months not only for many small improvements and bug fixes, but also to add two important new features: a statistics page that describes the information available in the PID Graph, and personal accounts that allow for ORCID claiming and other functionality going forward.
