FAQs

To participate in doi publishers must first allow their content to be indexed and included in the doi database. All doi members are encouraged to contribute to the database regardless of whether they decide to check submissions, as participation will benefit the doi Organization and will help prevent other publishers from unknowingly re-publishing your content. Each and every organization first of all to be registered through the member portal and if any user become a member of digital library, in that case each organization, journal, library will get a doi no. and after registration or detting membership they can easily create the doi no. of any objects or articles. Doi no. is the digital no., by which any one can trace or track the article or object by using this digital no.

Step two is to begin checking authored works against the database. This is done through the web-based system by uploading a document and running a similarity check against the doi database, and optionally the wider internet. doi is a set of results listing documents that share a significant degree of textual overlap with the target document.

Finally, we would encourage all participating publishers to display the doi logo on their websites and in their published documents to show their participation and to help deter would-be plagiarists from copying your content. At the same time we also display the logo of our valuable users or members with permission.

It can be any object, article, organization, publisher, library or entity — physical, digital or abstract — that you wish to identify, primarily for sharing with an interested user community or managing as intellectual property.

The doi does not have any rules on this.  As a general rule, if the change is substantial and/or it is necessary to identify both the original and the changed material, assign a new DOI name. If any one create a doi no. by entering the wrong data or want to change it, then in that case users should be create freshly, because the digital no. is created automatically and it would not be edited further.

You must use a service offered by a DOI-DS. Doi-ds collect metadata, assign DOI names, and offer other services such as reference linking or metadata lookup. Each and every organization first of all to be registered through the member portal and if any user become a member of digital library, in that case each organization, journal, library will get a doi no. and after registration or detting membership they can easily create the doi no. of any objects or articles. Doi no. is the digital no., by which any one can trace or track the article or object by using this digital no. Please Click here to be member of doi-digital library.

The best way to get involved is to identify collections that represent a particular country or culture and to work with the doi team to have them included in the project. The starting point is content. We will be glad to provide information about volunteer opportunities and to discuss suggestions for the project with individuals who contact us. Please send you materials to be a part of doi virtual Library.

We are actively seeking more partner institutions, more contributions of content, and working to improve cataloging, translation, and other functions.

Content on the doi comes from publishers, libraries and other organization or institutions in any country.

The doi metadata, digitization, and file transfer standards were established by the doi-ds and its partners, with input from the doi working groups.

Partners with culturally important and interesting collections and digitization capacity are needed to expand and diversify the site. Some partners need equipment and training to participate, especially in the developing world. Significant contributions in the following areas would help to build the doi capacity and assure its growth. The challenge is to develop tools and procedures for the creation and processing of large volumes of content without compromising the quality (functionality, search ability, and user experience) of the website. Print and electronic publicity is needed to increase the visibility of the site and ensure that its content is widely used.
