UTAS research outputs automatically assigned a DataCite DOI
- Open or mediated datasets and associated material deposited in the University Research Data Portal (RDP) or IMAS Data Portal
- Accessible ERA eligible Non-Traditional Research Outputs (NTROs) deposited in Elements and made open access in the University Open Access Repository (OAR)
- HDR theses deposited in iGrad and made openly accessible in the OAR
How to assign a DataCite DOI to an unpublished report in Elements
1. Before you deposit your report
2. If the report meets all DataCite DOI minting criteria
- Login to Elements
- Follow the manually claim the research output Elements guide to add the report
- Manually add the 'Essential information' metadata
- Select 'Assign DOI' box (last 'Essential information' metadata field)
- Follow the Deposit research output digital file to upload the report PDF
- Assign either a Creative Commons Licence or In Copyright statement (note: if there are multiple authors/ copyright owners you need to get everyone's agreement to assign the Creative Commons licence and make the output open access in OAR)
- Deposit to figshare
- Email oa.repository@utas.edu.au and let us know the draft report is deposited.
- Once deposited to OAR, the Library will copyright assess and check that the report is eligible for a DataCite DOI.
- The library will mint the DOI and email you the DOI to add to the final report PDF
- Email the final report PDF (with DOI added to the preferred citation) to oa.repository@utas.edu.au
- The library will replace the draft PDF with the final version and make openly accessible (public) in the repository.
- Note, Library staff are unable to make changes to the output file. A cover sheet, which includes citation information will automatically be added on download from the OAR.
Out of scope research outputs
You cannot request a DataCite DOI for
- Ephemera, teaching and learning materials and book chapters
- Digital objects that are not relevant to research
- Unpublished research outputs already assigned a DOI
- Published peer reviewed journal articles (if the published article does not already have a DOI request one from the journal publisher)
