Q. How can I get a DOI for my research outputs?

Only objects intended to remain available for the long term or be cited in a publication should be assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI).

• If you are publishing a research paper, your publisher would normally assign a DOI to the paper as part of their publication process.
• For datasets, research software code and other research outputs, you can obtain a DOI by depositing them in the University’s research data repository ORDA, or in another discipline-specific or general-purpose data repository.

You can find more information on our webpages on sharing research data and ORDA. If you have any questions, email the Library’s Research Data Management team at rdm@sheffield.ac.uk
