Digital Object Identifier (DOI);
A DOI is a unique and persistent identifier for electronically published documents, directly linked to the object and associated with metadata. Assigning a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) allows for the reliable and standardized citation of scientific results. The object remains permanently searchable.
A DOI registration:
- makes digital objects clearly referenceable and more easily accessible.
- It facilitates citability and increases the visibility of research data.
- is standard practice in science for the publication of scientific articles.
The university library offers THM members the free assignment of DOIs for digital media. To publish online and obtain a DOI, you must upload your work to the THM publication server
Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID);
ORCID is a unique identifier for researchers. It allows a person to be linked to publications, research data, and other products of the research process, and is now an international de facto standard. The university library recommends that all researchers register with ORCID and use their individual ORCID in publications.
Advantages of an ORCID
- unambiguous identification of the person even in case of identical names
- clear correlation between biography and individual research achievements
- Option for automated maintenance of publication lists
- Privacy protection, data protection
- Simplified communication with funders, professional associations, publishers and repositories
- Simplified documentation of the total research output of universities, faculties...
