What is a DOI?
A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a unique and persistent identifier and URL for a publication/object. It serves as an enduring path to the object’s location online despite changes to hosting over time.
How can a DOI help me and my research?
DOIs offer many benefits to your work, providing permanent and stable access to your material. This greatly enhances discoverability, making it easy to accurately cite your work. That, in turn, improves tracking and metrics , allowing automated systems to easily track citations of your work.
What resource types are eligible for a DOI?
A wide host of objects can be granted a DOI which can be reviewed here. We strongly encourage minting a DOI for datasets, allowing them to remain connected to their related publications.
How can I acquire a DOI through the UMaine Library Open Scholarship Services?
If you have an object for which you would like a DOI minted, use the University of Maine DOI request form.
