Publication Year (M, 1)

datacite:date

The year when the data was or will be made publicly available. In the case of datasets, “publish” is understood to mean making the data available on a specific date to the community of researchers.

Allowed values, other constraints:

  • Format should be YYYY [four-digit year].
  • If an embargo period is or has been in effect, use the date when the embargo period ends.
  • If there is no standard publication year value, use the date that would be preferred from a citation perspective.
  • In the case of resources such as software or dynamic data where there may be multiple releases in one year, include the date/dateType/dateInformation property and sub-properties to provide more information about the publication or release date details.
