| Aug 4, 2017 at 12:31 | comment | added | Joe | Where did you get information from? DOIs are persistent, they're not just randomly deleted. doi.org/doi_handbook/6_Policies.html#6.5 | |
| Aug 3, 2017 at 20:13 | comment | added | Jonas Stein | @Joe It is a proprietary directory service. An entry is only as long registered, as it is paid for. | |
| Aug 3, 2017 at 9:16 | comment | added | Joe | What do you mean @JonasStein? Which database entries are lost? | |
| Jun 3, 2017 at 10:16 | comment | added | Jonas Stein | I think it is even worse: If the institution does not pay the fee for the doi in 20 years, their database entries are lost. Hence I am highly interested in an independent alternative for doi. | |

| Dec 14, 2016 at 19:32 | comment | added | Andrew is gone | Aha - in that case my answer was going to be a version of academia.stackexchange.com/questions/69521/… (which effectively asked the broader question of 'can I do it at all'), but I see @RM beat me to it... | |

| Dec 14, 2016 at 18:30 | comment | added | Andrew is gone | To clarify the question, are you asking if there is a service that will give you a DOI for free, for a third-party URL, or if there is a a way to become a DOI issuing body for free? The answer is probably no in each case, but for different reasons. | |
