Hi Rachel, As well as the institution being responsible for the persistence of the DOIs it owns, the rationale for Loughborough is being consistently identified as the publisher of its data in the Datacite metadata catalogue, for the visibility and ease of impact tracking that offers them, is that right? I'm also wondering what other factors, if there are any, would make it difficult to move from a service that was registering DOIs on behalf of an institution (some years later as in your scenario)?

They could even make data available through more than one service at a time, e.g. if a department was running a data repository specifically for their work, the university may want DOIs outside of figshare for this (Loughborough are not doing this as far as I know, but it is certainly happening at other universities). > > Thanks!

I'm not sure figshare can meet many of the requirements (e.g. where data is stored, upload/download times, metadata etc.).
