What is a DOI?

    A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a globally unique persistent identifier for your record. The DOI is important because:

    • it provides a permanent link to your upload so readers can always reliably locate your content
    • it is important for discovery system to attribute citations correctly
    • it enables reliably interlinking research outputs with each other
    • it makes your research more discoverable by indexing the DOI metadata in a global registry

    By default, Zenodo registers DOIs for all uploads when they are published on Zenodo. You can reserve a DOI in advance of publication, for inclusion in files which you would like to upload to Zenodo.
