We govern the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) system on behalf of the agencies who manage DOI registries and provide services to their respective communities. We are the registration authority for the ISO standard (ISO 26324) for the DOI system and we are governed by our Registration Agencies.
A DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is a unique and never-changing string assigned to online (journal) articles, books, and other works. DOIs make it easier to retrieve works, which is why citation styles, like APA and MLA Style, recommend including them in citations.
They are widely used to identify academic, professional, and government information, such as journal articles, research reports, data sets, and official publications. A DOI aims to resolve to its target, the information object to which the DOI refers.
Founded on the principles of inclusivity, transparency, and innovation, Doi bridges the gap between traditional academic dissemination and the fast-paced demands of the digital era.
What is a DOI (digital object identifier)? A DOI is a character string that can be assigned to an online article, book, or other source. If the location of the source changes, the DOI remains stable, which allows readers to locate the source.
Type or paste a known DOI name exactly—including its prefix and suffix—into the text box below and then ‘submit’ to resolve it. DOIs include a prefix (prefixes always start with 10.) and a suffix, separated by a forward slash (/).
The Standard specifies the syntax and the functional components of the DOI System, plus the general principles for the creation, registration and administration of DOI names.
The Department of the Interior (DOI) has updated its procedures for implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). These procedures include a Final Rule that reaffirms the rescission of approximately 80% of Interior’s prior NEPA regulations as first documented in an Interim Final Rulemaking of .
