The Library has joined the DATACITE Consortium, which aims to facilitate access to research data on the Internet. Through this consortium, we have been enabled to issue DOIs.

A DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is a unique identifier assigned to a digital object to ensure its persistent ACCESSIBILITY and CITABILITY. Descriptive metadata are associated with each DOI.

THE SERVICE CAN BE REQUESTED:

• By institutional users;
• For online content accessible in Open Access, of this type: article, monograph, doctoral dissertation, conference proceedings, dataset, database, audio, video, software;
• For material published within the School, its Institutes, Laboratories, etc.

Since the DOI does not change over the lifetime of a publication (submitted, accepted version and editorial pdf), the content must be original and not already published in a commercial journal or otherwise already provided with a DOI.

In the case of serial publication, a DOI can be issued to the journal and as many individual DOIs for all the related articles, inserting a link that connects them and facilitates citations.

TO REQUEST A DOI:

Contact the reference librarian, giving your details and the URL from which the content is accessible.
