Tools as reported by the server

• datacite_search_works
  Search DataCite DOI metadata for datasets, software, samples, workflows, and other research outputs. Combine plain words (`text`) or OpenSearch query syntax (`query`) with filters for resource type, creator (ORCID iD or name), affiliation (ROR ID or name), affiliation country, funder (ROR ID, Crossr
• datacite_get_work
  Fetch the full deposited DataCite metadata for one DOI: titles, creators and contributors with ORCID iDs and ROR affiliations, publisher, dates, version, subjects, descriptions, funding, geolocations, rights, sizes and formats, related identifiers with their relation types, repository and provider,
• datacite_trace_relations
  Map the relation graph around one DOI — versions, parts, supplements, derivations, documentation, citations, references, and every other DataCite relation type — as nodes and directed edges that keep the relationType exactly as asserted and name each edge's source: the DOI's own metadata, other Data
• datacite_search_repositories
  Find DataCite repository accounts by name or description text, field of science, repository type, certification (e.g. CoreTrustSeal), software platform, client type, or parent provider, or look up known repository IDs. Returns each repository's repositoryId — the value datacite_search_works takes in
• datacite_get_citation
  Render one DataCite DOI as a formatted citation in a CSL style and locale (APA in US English by default), or as a machine-readable record: CSL JSON, BibTeX, RIS, DataCite JSON or XML, Schema.org JSON-LD, Codemeta, or JATS. A style the upstream renderer does not support — an unknown id or a dependent
• datacite_list_reference
  Look up the controlled vocabularies and identifier forms the other datacite_* tools accept: resource types, relation types with their inverses and groups, related-identifier types, date and contributor types, fields of science, common license ids, repository types, certificates, software platforms,
