How can I get a DOI for my work?
Having a digital object identifier (DOI) can be useful for having a stable location online for research resources. Many journals and a growing number of book publishers and data repositories will provide a DOI for resources that they host.
If you are seeking a DOI for your research, particularly works that are not traditionally published, we recommend that you consider if one of the following repositories will meet your need (NOTE: This is not a complete list of open repositories that will create a DOI, just a few of your options that may be free to you). If you have a more specialized need for data storage that supports DOI minting, you may need to investigate paid options and pursue relevant funding opportunities for your research.

More in-depth information can be found at this Generalist Repository Comparison Chart. We’re happy to consult with faculty individually on subject-specific repositories as needed.
If your work has a DOI, we recommend you share that instead of a URL via Bucknell Commons, your CV, ORCID, etc.
