I already uploaded manually a research paper, but research gate will not generate the DOI number and there are no options to generate it. Therefore, please add that feature in my profile
You may want to review some helpful information presented below:
A DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is a unique alphanumeric string assigned to a digital document to provide a permanent link to it. DOIs are commonly used for research articles and other scholarly works to ensure they can be easily located and cited.
Here are the steps to generate a DOI for your research article:
Publish in a DOI-Assigned Journal: The first step is to submit and have your research article accepted by a journal or conference proceedings that assigns DOIs to their published works. Most reputable academic journals and conferences provide DOIs for their articles.
Complete the Publication Process: Ensure that your article goes through the full publication process, including peer review and any necessary revisions. Once the article is accepted and ready for publication, the journal will typically handle the assignment of a DOI.
Wait for the DOI Assignment: After your article is accepted and processed by the journal, they will assign a DOI to your work. This is usually done by the publisher or editorial team.
Incorporate the DOI into Your Article: Once you receive the DOI, it should be included in the final version of your article. Place it prominently, typically on the first page or at the beginning of the article, so readers can easily find it.
Cite Your Article with the DOI: When citing your article in other publications or when sharing it, always include the DOI in the citation. This ensures that readers can locate the specific version of your work.
Remember, the process of assigning DOIs is typically handled by the publisher or the organization responsible for the journal or conference proceedings. If you're unsure about the status of your DOI, or if you're self-publishing or using a platform without DOI assignment, you may need to explore alternative options or use services that offer DOI registration.
Additionally, if you have specific questions about the publication process or DOI assignment for a particular journal, it's best to consult with the editorial team or publisher directly.
ResearchGate offers DOIs only for unpublished research, see https://explore.researchgate.net/display/support/ResearchGate+DOIs. See the following discussions on how to get a DOI for a publication:
