DOIs make Data Findable & Citable 

A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a persistent identifier.

Minting a DOI provides a permanent and persistent  link to a digital object.  If the digital object's URL location on the web changes, the DOI link is updated to the new resolving URL.  A DOI ensures: discovery, access and citation tracking and metrics.

Why get a DOI for your dataset?

Datasets with DOIs enable consistent and correct citation by others which ensures the impact of your research is measured.

• Published datasets in the University Research Data Portal (RDP) are automatically minted a DOI.
  • Email Research.Data@utas.edu.au 
• IMAS Data Portal DOI minting is managed by the IMAS Data Manager.
  • Email IMAS.DataManager@utas.edu.au
