DOI (Digital Object Identifier) 

DOI is the persistent link to the digital object.

International DOI Foundation (IDF)link opens in new page is a not-for-profit membership organization that provides Digital Object Identifier (DOI) services and registration.

Estonian University of Life Sciences, as a member of DataCite  Estonia,link opens in new page holds a license to assign DOIs to selected research outputs deposited into the digital archive EMU DSpacelink opens in new page. Datasets stored in EMU DSpace are assigned a digital object identifier (DOI) via DataCite Estonia and registered with metadata in the DataCite register, which enables data search, access, and re-use. All DOIs assigned by the Estonian University of Life Sciences must be compliant with the requirements of the DataCite organizationlink opens in new page.

What scientific data can be assigned a DOI?

Estonian University of Life Sciences will assign DOIs with the EMU prefix (EMU) to research outputs submitted to the repository EMU DSpace. NB! Any modifications to the research output will result in a new version of the record with a new DOI.

How do I get a DOI for a dataset?

A researcher should inform the contact person about the need to get a DOI, how to transfer the dataset (for example, Self-Service Portal of the Estonian University of Life Scienceslink opens in new page, e-mail,  nextcloud.emu.eelink opens in new page, or other), arrange/organize their research data, and create metadata for the dataset, including:

• Creators (researchers and/or organizations involved in producing the resource, in priority, affiliation)
• Title(s)
• Subjects
• Dates (relevant to the resource collected)
• Description, method, or abstract
• Alternate Identifiers (an identifier other than the primary Identifier applied to the resource being registered)
• Rights
• Funding Reference (information about financial support (funding) for the resource)

Takedown policy

Content held in the repository is intended for long-term preservation. In some cases, items may be withdrawn. Reasons for withdrawal might include proven copyright violation or plagiarism, national security, falsified research, author's request, etc. Withdrawn items will retain the DOI, and the withdrawal notice will be indicated on the landing page of the research record in the repository EMU DSpace, but the research output itself will not be accessible.
