Further to Evelyn's message, it would be my understanding that DOIs have to
be included in RAE submissions *where they are available* -- a clarification
I make only since several journal publishers do not yet assign DOIs, and
therefore DOIs could not be *mandatory* submission data for journal
articles. It is, of course, right that RAE is encouraging their usage.
Best wishes,
Charlie.

I'm sure somebody MUST have mentioned the fact that DOIs will have to be
included for journal articles and are optional to be included for other
types of e material in the data submission for the RAE 2008 [see data
collection link at http://www.rae.ac.uk/default.asp ]

Hi
We use DOIs in our institutional repository. We use them to two ways: to
fill in the bibliographic details to a lesser or greater extent when adding
items to the repository and to provide access to persistent links as Jayne
suggested.

Hi
Another situation where DOIs are useful is for creating online reading lists
which link into full text articles. Some databases don't use persistent urls
for articles - the url is session based which means when you try the link
the next day it doesn't work! By linking it through the DOI we get the
persistent link.

Hi Bill,
For me, the most frequent situation where DOIs are used is in conjunction
with our link resolver. Invoking DOI linking in our link resolver allows us
to take users directly to even more of the content we have acquired on their
behalf - allowing us to, for example, get down to article level where we
would otherwise only be able to get users to the very top level of a journal
site. I'm also aware that people use them for creating links to content from
catalogues and reading lists but perhaps others could comment on this?
Cheers
Anna
