Crossref
We can provide University of Aberdeen researchers with Crossref Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for outputs such as working papers, policy briefs and reports.
A DOI is a string of numbers, letters and symbols used to permanently identify and link to a research output online. Assigning a DOI to your output will make sure readers can easily locate and link to your reference.
The output will be uploaded to Pure and a copy of the PDF made publicly available through AURA.
The DOI will resolve to the Research Portal, where there will be a link to the item in AURA and where available, a link to the published output.
To request a DOI please provide the following information to the Open Research Team.
- A PDF copy of the output to be uploaded to Pure and made publicly available in AURA
- Where the item is already available online, the URL
- Author names
- Authors’ ORCiD
- Publisher
- References cited in the output which have a DOI must include a hyperlink to the DOI in the format of https://doi.org.10.xxxxxxx
