Why DOI is needed by scientists

Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2024 5:18 am
If you doubt whether it is possible to study abroad for free, do not doubt. It is quite possible. But do not forget that, in addition to the money for education, you will also need to pay for living expenses and even for the paperwork. Therefore, if you do not have income or savings, look for funds and sponsors. With their help, you can either go to study abroad for free or stay in another country to work.
For example, you need to publish an article for teacher certification or another purpose. You place your work in the peer-reviewed journal of the APNI "THEORIA: pedagogy, economics and law" , and your material receives a digital DOI identifier from the Crossref registrar, which officially provides such a service. As a result, your scientific article will have a unique identifier that will allow you to find it on the Internet at any time.


What does assigning DOI to materials give?
DOI is used to organize information on the Internet. The philippine whatsapp number identifier was invented for this very purpose — to solve the problem of information processing. DOI is assigned to the material once and for all, it cannot be changed. Due to the identifier, the material can be easily found, even if the title is rephrased or the author is forgotten.

The global scientific community distrusts articles without DOI, as they are unstable, can get lost on the Internet or disappear completely. As a result, the author's citation index, which shows the scientific significance of the work, suffers. The presence of DOI provides the following:

Increases visibility of materials. Articles with DOI are easier to find, and therefore colleagues in scientific activity are more likely to get to them, study them and cite them.
Increases the citation index. Follows from the previous point: the material is easier to find, which means it will be cited more often.
Provides an opportunity to get into prestigious scientific databases, such as Web of Science or Scopus. If a scientist publishing in these publications has referenced an article with a DOI, it is also automatically included, acquiring its own separate citation index there.
But if DOI is aimed primarily at an English-speaking audience, then why do Russian scientists need it? The fact is that in 2012, a decree was signed "On measures to implement state policy in the field of education and science." Its goal was to increase the share of publications of scientific articles by domestic scientists among works posted by world scientific journals that are indexed in the international databases Web of Science and Scopus.

It is difficult for domestic scientists to get into publications published abroad. Therefore, publications in them are presented in limited quantities. If an article has a DOI and a scientist who places his materials in such journals refers to it, then the original work will also receive its citation index in Web of Science and Scopus, as was said above.

DOI is relevant not only for scientists. If you are getting a higher education and are seriously engaged in science, then you should also think about having articles with such an identifier. The APNI provides for the simple publication of scientific articles by students studying in the bachelor's and master's programs, as well as the placement of materials in the journal "THEORIA: pedagogy,
