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 ![2025-03-25 09-49-12 (1)](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/tainacan/original/2X/8/8ca507511c3ee6b3a61d303a9604bd09e515d631.gif) ---

Hey @djafinidad! That kind of integration is totally possible and makes a lot of sense. There are usually two options: 1. **Manually add an existing DOI** to the item using a metadata field. 2. **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? ---
