[Esip-preserve] DOIs

Thu Apr 1 15:26:00 EDT 2021

Marguerite,

It might help to know that a preservation repository that commits to managing a digital object over time (following best practices) are the entities that can register and assign a Digital Object Identifier (DOI).  Depending on what you want to preserve, there are a number of places you can use.

If you are looking for a place to preserve and cite documents or presentations, a general repository is fine.  Here is a comparison chart that is helpful: http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3946720
If you have datasets, the selection process needs to be more thoughtful.

I’m guessing you might have documents.  My personal preference is Zenodo.com.  They are a not-for-profit that is well-funded.  Figshare is a for-profit entity.

Zenodo hosts “communities”.  You can create one for FSF where you connect all your digital objects.  See the one I have for my work at AGU as an example:  https://zenodo.org/communities/agu-data-leadership/

Hope this helps.

Shelley

Subject: [Esip-preserve] DOIs

To Whom It May Concern,

My name is Marguerite Lally and I work at the First Street Foundation (FSF). My colleague, Ed Kearns, reached out to Susan Shingledecker about creating DOIs through ESIP and she directed us to email this mailing list. FSF is a member of ESIP and we are looking to create DOIs. I know we can create DOIs by paying for a DataCite membership but I was wondering if it was possible for us to work through ESIP or ESIP partners to create DOIs. Susan mentioned that ESIP obtains their DOIs through the ESIP Figshare Repository. I was wondering if we could go directly through Figshare or Zenodo or some other more general repository to create our DOIs.

Please let me know if you have any recommendations for us on what the best path forward is. For reference, First Street would like to create no more than a few hundred DOIs.

Best,

Marguerite
