DataCite membership — Fondren Library, Rice University is one of 8 APIs that [Rice University](https://apis.io/providers/rice/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include DataCite, DOI, Persistent Identifiers, Registry, and Research Data. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

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.
