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 turns, improves tracking and metrics, allowing automated systems to easily track citations of your work.
A wide host of objects can be granted a DOI. This includes scholarly publications like books, book chapters and articles, as well as creative works and datasets and software. We strongly encourage minting a DOI for datasets, allowing them to remain connected to their related publications. The full list of categories can be reviewed here.
