[Dspace-tech] Registering DOIs with crossref from DSpace

[Chris Gray]

Has anyone managed to automatically register DOIs with crossref from DSpace?

What I have found out so far:

It looks to me that the DSpace documentation on DOIs [1] won't work with
crossref. But crossref is used with DSpace with DOIs based on handles [2].

crossref provides ways to upload metadata for new DOIs including a Java
class [3].

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

you are correct, DSpace currrently supports only the DataCite and EZID
APIs. It doesn't support the CrossRef API yet, but the infrastructure
for minting DOIs is already in place, so it should be relatively easy
to write a CrossRef class for someone with access to CrossRef API.
Here's how:

Thanks, helix,

I'm blushing because I failed to notice the last short section of the
document page for DOI integration.

Hi Chris,

Have you integrated DSpace DOIs with CrossRef?

Thanks
