Assign DOI
To assign a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), you typically need to go through an official DOI registration agency or publisher. Here’s a general process for assigning a DOI: Choose a DOI Registration Agency: Many publishers automatically assign DOIs to articles, books, or datasets they publish. If you are an independent author, researcher, or publisher, you can use organizations like CrossRef or DataCite to register DOIs for your content. Register Your Content: To assign a DOI, you need to register your content through the selected agency. This may involve creating an account, providing metadata (like title, author, publication date), and uploading your work or specifying where it is hosted. Pay Fees: Some agencies may charge fees for DOI registration, depending on the type of content and publisher. DOI Assignment: Once registered, the agency will assign a DOI to your content, which can be used for citation and digital linking.
