Rice University

DataCite membership — Fondren Library, Rice University

Rice University is a DataCite direct member, registered 2017-11-13 as provider `rice` (symbol RICE) under Fondren Library and linked to ROR https://ror.org/008zs3103. The membership carries eight DOI prefixes (10.25611 through 10.25618) and 2,169 registered DOIs across three repositories: Fondren Library (rice.fondren), the Kinder Institute Urban Data Platform (rice.kinder) and the Children's Environmental Health Initiative (rice.cehi). This is a fact about Rice, not a Rice contract — DataCite's own API is never saved here, and the membership is never deleted to tidy a shared host.
