ELIXIR-IT members work together to offer bioinformatics resources and tools to the Italian biological and biomedical research community. These services underscore ELIXIR-IT’s scientific legacy as a research infrastructure, with citations serving as a tangible measure of the influence and utilization of research outputs. A key metric for assessing this impact is the analysis of citations associated with the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) of papers related to ELIXIR-IT services.
