 +====The mechanics of registering a new DOI with crossref membership====
 +
 +  * Once registered with crossref, you receive a DOI prefix, 10.XXXX 
 +  * Crossref provides a web deposit form that generates the xml
 +  * Enter the basic metadata here (title, authors, publishers, date etc)
 +  * And the DOI, which consists of your DOI prefix followed by a suffix which you generate yourself
 +  * Suffixes must be unique, contain numbers and/or letters and -._;()/ are case-insensitive and ideally are short string, easily typed yet “dumb” meaning that they contain no obvious information. A best practice DOI would be 10.3390/s18020479
 +  * On submitting the form, you are asked for your crossref login, and an email address where the deposit results should be sent.
 +  * A DOI string can’t be changed once registered, and DOIs cannot be deleted.
 +  * Once the DOI is confirmed you then create a landing page for the DOI. 
 +  * For the landing page it's usually enough to add the DOI information (title, author and/ DOI URL as an html link) at the top of the page of the referenced object, however if the item is a PDF it's advised to make a separate page.
 +  * You also receive a copy of the xml. If changes need to be made to your metadata record, you can edit and submit the XML instead of re-entering your metadata into the form.
 +  * Other metadata that might be added include funding an license metadata
 +  * To add, change, or remove metadata from your existing records, you generally just resubmit your complete metadata record with the changes included.
 +  * You can add funding and license metadata to multiple DOIs at once by uploading a csv file to the web deposit form using the supplemental metadata upload on crossref site.
