Hi Helen,
My understanding (which could be completely wrong and ADS may well
correct me!) is that a DOI is given once the report is uploaded by ADS to
the Grey Literature library. I don't think it's assigned when the
unit/individual uploads it to the form. The version that the unit/individual
attaches needs to be processed to make it archive compliant which is why there
can be a delay in you validating reports and them appearing on grey literature
library. An explanation of this process is on the ADS blog at http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/blog/oasis/?p=65 if
anyone is interested. I think the DOI is something that is assigned to the final
'published' version, if that makes sense?
Perhaps the easiest way is to go to the ADS Grey Literature Library
(http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/view/greylit/
) and search for reports in Leicestershire? Yes you'd then have to go
through them all but might be easier than going through the HER OASIS login. You
can also narrow down the search by parish etc. I note that by going through this
way the DOI is at the top of the record page (if it has
one).
all the best

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there’s an easy way to find out OASIS doi’s? I
was thinking about adding the links to my monument records but I can’t see a
quick way of finding them out… They only get given a doi when they go into
the ADS library, which happens after the validation process, so is the only way
to get the doi’s to go back to all records that are now ‘completed’ and click
through until I find the doi?
If that makes any sense!!
I’d like to add them but I don’t have loads of time, plus I have loads of
OASIS records I need to validate anyway…
Thanks,
Helen Wells
