Helpful Tip: DOIs

A DOI is a digital object identifier

Many journals and some repositories provide you with a DOI for your articles, datasets, and posters. If your work has a DOI, be sure to include it under "work identifiers" for your.

The DOI is important in order to provide a persistent identifier for your work and will give you a stronger ImpactStory profile
