| + | ====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/ | ||
| + | * 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. | ||
