| Aug 25, 2020 at 20:10 | comment | added | Ander Biguri | @TooTea thanks, that was the question. I meant more related to Crossref DOIs anyway, but yeah. | |
| Aug 25, 2020 at 19:26 | comment | added | Buttonwood | @AnderBiguri For doi.org, the FAQ outline their routine and partners to register items. But I see researchgate, too. Note researchgate not only accepts power point files, but the hint to figshare.com accepting any fileformat (incl. doi generation.). E.g. this (cite) | |
| Aug 25, 2020 at 19:22 | comment | added | TooTea | @AnderBiguri Of course you can get a DOI for a photo of your cat, just say it's a "research output" and upload it to Figshare. A DOI is just a convenient globally unique persistent identifier for "stuff", not a mark of academic or scientific merit. Having a DOI says exactly nothing about the usefulness of a given digital object. | |
| Aug 25, 2020 at 18:24 | comment | added | Ander Biguri | @Buttonwood yes, but can I add a DOI to a photo of my cat? to a facebook message? Or is there any filter? where is the filter? does a bogus journal that is trying to make money by exploiting bad scientific methods pass that filter, if it exists? | |
| Aug 25, 2020 at 17:43 | comment | added | Buttonwood | @AnderBiguri Note, publications / journal articles are not the only items which may be attributed a doi. datacite and zenodo for example equally tag programs (e.g., MoleculeViewer), or whole datasets (e.g. this earth sciences excel file) with this identifier. | |
| Aug 25, 2020 at 13:05 | comment | added | Ander Biguri | I know this is not a FAQ of Crossref, but I think this question is related: The journal that OP refers to is from that big subset of journals that are predatory, and likely do not follow standard scientific procedures (e.g. it claims it has an IF of 7.4, self-calculated bogus data). Do journals that would traditionally be listed in Beall's list have access to DOIs/are registered with Crossref? i.e. is there any vetting on who can be register DOIs? | |
| Aug 25, 2020 at 10:41 | comment | added | Ed Pentz | Publishers fix the DOIs by updating their metadata with Crossref so the Crossref database has to be updated by the publisher. For DOIs that point to the wrong content you can email support(at)crossref.org or the publisher directly - http://www.ijirset.com/contact-us.html. | |
| Aug 25, 2020 at 9:54 | comment | added | Anderson | Will the database of crossref.org also be updated, when an inaccessible DOI is reported to doi.org? Can it also be reported to crossref.org directly? What if a result gets shown, but the wrong one (example: 10.15680/IJIRSET.2016.0501002 - Numerical Study of the Effect of Vertical Wind Break on the Trough Collector's Drag Force [ijirset.com/volume-5-issue-1.html])? Then the form will not be shown. | |
