- Showcase all of your research. A DOI enables other researchers to find all of your work online, including your conference papers and posters, raw and negative data, and any other research you would like to share.
- Make your research citable. DOIs provide information on where your work can be found online. They are guaranteed to never change, making them a great way to provide a reliable link to any of your research.
- Put a date on your discovery. A DOI includes information on the publishing date of your research, to make sure you get the credit you deserve.
Nb: If the publisher had already assigned a DOI to the work, do not generate another one.
