We are pleased to announce that the Common Science and Technology Resource Identification (CSTR) has now been included in the global persistent identification resolution platform N2T (Name-to-Thing). Users can now directly resolve CSTR through the N2T service, enabling seamless global accessibility. This integration marks a significant expansion of CSTR’s international recognition and provides a more robust foundation for the sharing and servicing of global science and technology resources.
