Dr. Rhead told us:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis archive will allow us to share this large collection of impact data with researchers across the globe thereby creating exciting opportunities for collaboration.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>What is a DOI?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Digital_object_identifier\">DOI <\/a>is a unique identifier which points to a particular object.\u00a0 This helps identify content uniquely, even if it has a similar name to another resource.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why use a DOI?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are great advantages to using a DOI rather than a web address to identify an academic resource:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If the system hosting the resource changes, the underlying link can be updated.\u00a0 This means that even if the DOI is printed in a book, it should always point to the right location.<\/li>\n<li>DOI providers commit to maintaining the resource in the long term.\u00a0 This means that if they stop providing the resource, they need to find a new host for it.<\/li>\n<li>The resource itself doesn\u2019t have to be digital to have a DOI.\u00a0 So if your data consists of survey forms stored in a filing cabinet, it\u2019s still possible to use a DOI to cite it in your paper.<\/li>\n<li>Datasets cited using DOIs are easier to identify in articles and social media.\u00a0 This can help you prove the impact of your data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How do I get a DOI for my data?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To create a DOI in the University\u2019s Research Data Archive, you need to create a Datasets record in Pure.\u00a0 This is then copied to the Archive, and we can tell you what the DOI will be so you can include it in your paper.\u00a0 Once you\u2019ve uploaded your data and described it clearly, we can make the data live and activate the DOI.\u00a0 This makes your data findable and citable in international data search systems.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>For more information...<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For more information, or for support using the Research Data Archive, you can visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bath.ac.uk\/research\/data\/support\">our web pages<\/a>, email us: <a href=\"mailto:research-data@bath.ac.uk\">research-data@bath.ac.uk<\/a>, leave a comment on this blog, call us on x3570, or pop in to the Library, Room 4.10.<\/p>\n<p>Written by: Lizz Jennings<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Bath Research Data Archive is celebrating its 100th DOI!
