Digital Object Identifier System

The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) System provides a unique, permanent link to digital content such as research articles, datasets, or reports. Think of it as a digital fingerprint that reliably points to a specific item on the internet, even if its location changes. When you use a DOI, you’re directed to the current location of the content, ensuring consistent access over time. This system helps researchers, students, and professionals find and cite sources accurately, maintaining the integrity and longevity of digital references in scholarly and professional work.
