Digital Object Identifiers

Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are unique alphanumeric strings assigned to digital content, such as research papers, articles, and datasets. They act like permanent links, ensuring that even if the content's location changes online, the DOI will always direct you to it. This helps users easily locate and cite sources, promoting accuracy and consistency in referencing. DOIs are widely used in academic publishing and help maintain the integrity of scholarly communication by providing a reliable way to access and share information.
