This document is a guideline for the use of the official DataCite Metadata Schema documentation (https://schema.datacite.org/), version 4.4 (https://doi.org/10.14454/3w3z-sa82). A support documentation for more convenience and better navigation can be found here as a HTML version DataCite Metadata Schema Documentation (https://datacite-metadata-schema.readthedocs.io/, different versions available). It is meant for researchers, IT and library support staff. Further information on the schema can be found on the DataCite support site (https://support.datacite.org/docs/datacite-metadata-schema-44). The document was created with participation from the following institutions/projects: *IT-Gruppe Geisteswissenschaften (LMU), *Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, *Max Weber Stiftung - Deutsche Geisteswissenschaftliche Institute im Ausland, *Universitätsbibliothek der FAU, *Universitätsbibliothek der LMU München, *VerbaAlpina. This guide is designed to be reused by other institutions as well. To create a DataCite XML file for the project you want to describe, we recommend to you to use the DataCite Metadata Generator [external link]. This tool is kept in sync with this guideline, safe for transmission times inbetween versions. If you want to create metadata for research data on a scale that is too large for manual procedures, please contact one of the institutions named above.
