Greetings from Vancouver, Here, at the University of British Columbia, we have been minting DOIs for all Library digital assets: theses, digital images, datasets, etc for the last couple of years. So far, we have minted more than 200,000 DOIs, mostly programmatically, from our Open Collections <https://open.library.ubc.ca/> discovery interface (which brings together our DSpace, AtoM, Dataverse and CONTENTdm repos for discovery with a robust API). Since Datacite does not allow a flexible DOIs assignment, we have also developed a GUI to mint any number of DOIs: manually, via a CSV file or programmatically. More information is available on our RDM site - http://researchdata.library.ubc.ca/plan/get-dois/ Thanks, Eugene On Thu, Jul 6, 2017 at 5:34 AM, datasets <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Thanks all, > > > > Just in case anyone else was unaware, I would just like to clarify that > anyone using DataCite can assign DOIs to reports, theses and grey > literature, as long as they can provide at least the mandatory metadata and > an open landing page.
