Digital Object Identifiers (DOI)

Scope

• This wiki page summarises relevant facts about DOI and related persistent Identifiers (PID) for the OSGeo communities.
• A DOI is a persistent identifier (PID).
• More infomation about PID for OSGeo is available here in the wiki

Useful background information

• Introduction to DOI (NASA)
• DOI registration 101 @ UC Berkeley (wayback machine memento)
• Introduction to the Zenodo open access repository
• Zenodo FAQ

HowTo information about ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID -> a PID for people)

• ORCID FAQ
• ORDID introduction video
• HOWTO: Register an ORCID (Video tutorial)
• How to set up an ORCID account for credit propagation (e.g. Version-DOI of OSGeo project software releases will automagically appear in the "works" section of the associated ORCID accounts)

Added-value services based on DOI

• Citation service by DataCite: Enter a DOI to create properly formatted references according to over 2400 citation styles for books, articles, etc.
