Digital Object Identifier (DOI) & Its Impact
Digital Object Identifier is a string of numbers, letters and symbols used for identifying electronic information such as an article or document. A DOI will help the readers easily locate a document from the citation. It is institutionalized by International association of Standardization (ISO) and issued by the International DOI Foundation. The prime use of DOIs constitutes of the identification of scholastic and research articles, journal articles, professional information, and administrative information like social reports and statistics. DOI helps in finding a particular article to which it is linked, among countless other information on the web. Linking the DOI to the metadata of the article, like URL gives quite a steady and open connection to that particular information than simply sharing the URL. The single most important characteristic of DOIs is that they can be attached to just about any digital, online research output. If something has a URL, or a specific location on the web, it can be assigned a DOI. This means that DOI is quite a versatile element.
What are the Direct Benefits of the Author?
DOI without a doubt increases the value of any published article. It increases the article’s chance of being discovered on the web amidst several other related or quote similar items.
DOIs in Use:
- First applications launched in 2000 • Currently being allotted by well more than 5000 naming specialists for example distributers, publishers, science server farms, motion picture studios and so on • Around 100 million DOI names allocated • Over 1.5 billion DOI requirements are registered for each year
Structure of DOI:
Each DOI starts with the number 10 and has a prefix and suffix separated by an oblique. The prefix is a unique number made up of four digits indicative of the organization and the suffix is picked by the publisher of the item, and is flexible with publisher identification standards. For example 10.23950/184. Here 10 is a fixed prefix. 23950 signifies the registrant which in most cases is the publisher and 184 is the identifier for the particular article/data item published by the publisher.
