Request a DOI

Before you can get a DOI for your dataset, it has to meet the ANC format requirements. Also see our Persistent Identifier Policy for more information.

Once you meet the requirements you can request a DOI by opening a new work item on your dataset project. A data steward will be notified and handle your request.

  1. Go to your project and open a new work item
  2. Title your issue DOI request
  3. Under Description click Choose a template and select request_doi
