How do I add software information to my Repository account?

"Software" is a required field for Repository accounts to record the software used by the repository. This information helps us understand which integrations are used by the DataCite community and provide better support.

Software information can be added or updated in DataCite Fabrica alongside other Repository Settings.

Navigate to the Repository Settings

To access the Repository Settings when logged in with a Repository account, head to the Settings tab and click "Update Repository".

Direct Members, Consortium Leads, and Consortium Organizations will first need to select the Repository from their list of Repositories in order to view the appropriate Repository dashboard. Then, navigate to the Settings tab for the selected Repository and click "Update Repository".

Update Software information

On the "Update Repository" page, scroll down to "Software" and select the software used by the repository. If none of the options apply, select "Other".

You can also get in touch with us at [email protected] to inquire about adding a software option to the list. We list all integrations supported by DataCite Registered Service Providers, along with others that have broad community adoption.

Once an option is selected, click "Update Repository" at the bottom of the page to save your selection. All required fields, including Software, must be completed.
