WHY PERSISTENT IDENTIFIERS MATTER

A clear identity
for every
registered work.

A research paper may move. Its DOI can stay the same.

  • Consistent citation. Use the DOI link when citing and sharing a registered publication.
  • Connected metadata. A DOI record brings together the work’s title, authors, and publication details.
  • Maintained access. Updating the destination URL helps readers reach the work after a website move.
  • A reusable reference. Display the same DOI in the article, PDF, and citation information.
