Is it possible to integrate DOI creation with the Tainacan Plugin? I am planning to make a research repository for our institution. Thank you!
That sounds like a great idea! Just curious, how are you thinking the DOI integration would work? Like, do you imagine creating DOIs automatically when you publish an item, or having a button to send the item’s metadata to a DOI service?
A great example would be Zenodo’s DOI functionality. On their site, you can input your DOI if you already have one. If you need a DOI for your upload, Zenodo automatically generates one for you.
Edit: Also, exporting citation like bibtex, APA, MLA, and etc. would be great
Hey @djafinidad! That kind of integration is totally possible and makes a lot of sense.
There are usually two options:
- Manually add an existing DOI to the item using a metadata field.
- Automatically generate a DOI through an integration with a DOI agency like DataCite.
The main challenge is that automatic DOI creation requires your institution to have a contract with a DOI registration agency. Without that, the system can’t register DOIs on its own.
But once that’s in place, it’s technically doable with a plugin or small integration.
Hi, I hope you’re doing well. I wanted to ask if you were able to find a solution for creating DOIs. I saw that there’s a plugin called DOI Creator; it could be an option for your repository.
Hey @SoyAPP, welcome to our forum!
I believe @marcos.sigismundo has dome some experiments with a plugin, right?
