At the end of last year we conducted the first DataCite member survey. And one of the things you told us is that relevant information doesn’t always reach you.

This meshed nicely with how we operate at DataCite, but we heard from many of you that GitHub wasn’t so intuitive for providing feedback if it wasn’t […]

Two weeks ago DataCite announced the pre-release version of a GraphQL API [@https://doi.org/10.5438/qab1-n315].
