I have a paper submitted and accepted in a journal (Biology and Environmental Sciences) and it has a supplementary file which is a short video coverage, however, the journal does not support this but I have uploaded the video to Vimeo. Do you have any suggestions where I can store the video and generate a DOI (like other journals) then attach it to my paper?

I'm not sure you can have doi for that kind of media. Do you have personal website? You might consider putting the video there. – user168 Aug 8 '17 at 11:12

1You can't generate the DOI just like that. It has to be published after peer review by a journal. Otherwise, the best place is the personal/institutional web page. and give a link to your publication in a video frame itself. – Coder Aug 8 '17 at 12:35

2No DOI, but Vimeo should be fine. If you put it there, it may be around longer than your current personal web site. – GEdgar Aug 8 '17 at 14:02

4@Coder actually, any organisation that meets the contractual obligations of the DOI system and is willing to pay to become a member of the system can assign DOIs (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier). It doesn't indicate peer review. – arboviral Aug 8 '17 at 15:29

2Keep in mind that most people will google it (name of the paper, maybe part of author's name + video), especially when showing it to other people. Most of the time, the actual place the video is doesn't really matter that much. – Fábio Dias Aug 8 '17 at 17:09

Videos are among the file types accepted by Figshare, which is an online digital repository operated by Macmillan Publishers. You can create an account for free, and you will get a DOI when uploading files which you can then cite in your paper.
