Publisher (MA, 0-n)

datacite:publisher

An entity responsible for making the resource available. The entity that holds, archives, publishes prints, distributes, releases, issues, or produces the resource. Publishers may be persons, organizations, or services. This property is used for citations, and so gets prominently visible.

Property publisher (MA, 0-n)

Use the name of the publisher as value.

Allowed Values, other constraints:

  • With university publications place the name of the faculty and/or research group or research school after the name of the university.
  • In the case of organizations where there is clearly a hierarchy, list the parts of the hierarchy from largest to smallest, separated by full stops. If it is not clear whether there is a hierarchy, or unclear which is the larger or smaller portion of the body, give the name as it appears in the print.
  • The use of publisher names from authority lists constructed according to local or national thesaurus files is optional.
  • A code/data repository might be put into publisher or, if several agents make the entity available, into contributor/contributorType/hostingInstitution.
