Dear @Rahul, as you are in role of publisher of the proceedings, do the following professionaly by relevant organization CrossRef. Under content, choose Conference Proceedings. You will be contacted by filling the form attached.
Crossref- a not-for-profit membership organization for scholarly publishing working to make content easy to find, link, cite and assess. We do it in five ways: rallying the community; tagging the metadata; running a shared infrastructure; playing with new technology; and making tools and services to improve research communications...
Most of the publishers (traditional, self-publishing companies) will help to apply for DOI.
Additionally, does the conference proceedings contain abstracts or full length papers?
I don't think abstract would qualify for DOI numbers. What if have DOI for your abstracts, then you decide to publish the abstract into a full-length paper? Will the same work have two DOI numbers? Doesn't make any sense to me!
Papers that are uploaded in RG, would have DOI numbers already. If RG gives DOI numbers, it is redundant. Normally, what you see as DOI number in RG, it is not the one that is given by RG.
If your paper is published in any journal or conferences then they will provide a DOI for your paper. If any unpublished work, you want to get DOI you need to follow the answer of Subhash C. Kundu. Research Gate itself provide an DOI for unpublished work.
Once a manuscript gets accepted by any journal, then the journal used to provide a DOI for that manuscript. DOI is not a required by any publisher for a manuscript. However, if anyone wants to know DOI of his/her unpublished work then by uploading the manuscript on Research Gate they can get their work published on Reseach Gate with a DOI.
Now, as the work get published on Research Gate so it becomes unethical to submit it anywhere else.
The most common questions we have gotten at APA since the introduction of the 6th edition of the Publication Manual have to do with using DOIs, URLs, and database information in reference citations. We on the blog team have done our best to analyze what the manual has to say about this matter, and the flowchart below illustrates the principles at work...
"DOIs can be generated for most of your unpublished work. As publications classified as an Article, Book, Chapter, Patent, Cover Page, Posters, and Conference Paper are considered to have been published elsewhere, DOIs cannot be generated for these types of research. You can, however, add an existing DOI issued by your publisher to any of your research. You should not generate a new DOI for a research item that already has one, as this will potentially lead to confusion."

I have found that the researchGate does not generate DOIs for published papers but I have a lot of published paper without DOIs. For instance this one I aploaded yeastoday Article On necessity of development of instant interplanetary teleco...

How do I generate a DOI for my research?
Provided the type of research you have added supports adding a DOI, you can generate one by following these steps:
Go to your Contributions tab
Select the research item you would like to generate a DOI for by clicking on its title
On the right-hand side, click on the blue downward-facing arrow and select Generate a DOI (if this is not visible, then generating a DOI for this type of research item is not possible)
Review the details of your research item to ensure they are correct
ResearchGate used to issue DOIs for many things, but they don't any more. I asked them about a doi for a chapter. The reply was curt: "Thanks for getting in touch. DOIs cannot be generated for journal articles, conference papers, books, chapters, cover pages, posters, code or patents. "
OK, thanks , Ken, this means that I am lucky because i have generated the RG DOI for my several books, one book chapter and one conference paper several yaers ago! Thanks to the RG as well. It is pity that it is already impossible to get a free RG DOI for my article that has no DOI because not all Journals pay for DOI. There is an annual fee of $275 plus fee per an article.
another question if i upload a work here in research article and i get DOI, and my work is accepted in a journal to publish they will give me new doi number for my work????? is this normal???
The main benefit of having a DOI is that it is a unique identifier. With the explosion of research, it is possible to have articles by authors with the same/similar names and the same/similar titles, so distinguishing between them is difficult. Systems like Google Scholar, that show your citations, use the DOI to distinguish between your and any other paper. The DOI has become essential for this.
Q2:
The last thing you want is for the same paper to have two DOIs. It will then be a nightmare to try to track it. You should NOT upload your article here before it is published. Many publishers would consider an upload here to mean already published. Their anti-plagiarism software would find it, and the journal will reject your article as plagiarised / already published. Wait until the journal has published the paper, and they will give it the DOI. Then (assuming copyright restrictions allow it), upload your paper here, and, when you are prompted for a DOI, enter the DOI that the journal has allocated to your paper. DO NOT create a new, second DOI, anywhere.
Chitaranjan, unfortunately, a published paper or chapter can no longer be assigned a DOI through ResearchGate. (They used to do it, but they don't do it anymore). You have to go to the publisher, get them to assign a DOI. If, for whatever reason, they don't, you're pretty much stumped.
I think, researchgate it self provide doi. When you add some article/presentation researchgate ask that would you like to generate doi. Accordingly you can proceed.
In this digital era, DOIs are reasonably important as they give a direct link to your paper. The easiest way to get a DOI for a paper even before publication is by posting it to preprints.org. They will assign it a DOI after acceptance. In case your final version doesnot have one, you can always link the two versions perfectly
Provided the type of research you have added supports adding a DOI, you can generate one by following these steps:
1.Go to your Research tab
2.Select the research item you would like to generate a DOI for by clicking on its title
3.On the right-hand side, click on the blue downward-facing arrow and select Generate a DOI (if this is not visible, then generating a DOI for this type of research item is not possible)
4.Review the details of your research item to ensure they are correct 5.Click Generate a DOI.
Note: Once a ResearchGate DOI has been generated for a research item, you’re no longer able to edit that research item. Instead, you should remove the research completely, re-upload it with the edits and generate a new DOI.
Research gate generated a DOI for my paper, but it doesn't work. I cannot search my uploaded paper with the DOI and if I use the DOI in a citation generator, it cannot locate it, either.

Dear Totok Mulyono , Zenodo was already proposed in previous contributions made by Luis Ochoa Siguencia and Aleksey Anatolievich Zakharenko . Reading of a previous post is desirable. I call all the participants to do it.
When I got a doi for my paper on research gate I couldn’t search it. And on citation generators that work by inputting the doi, it never turns up any results.
The idea was to make article clickable and (more) visible. It is journal repository which provide technical support for electronic publishing and archiving, and to deposit metadata about articles into the Cross-Ref. In 2005 we were the first National Library who became the regular member of Cross-Ref system. Metadata from the DOISerbia are regularly harvested by OA repositories and search engines like Google Scholar. During last two years we deposited our content to DOAJ, and harvetsed by TEL and Europeana. All journals include backfiles from 2002 onwards. Enabling completely free and unrestricted access to all articles in a journal is a prerequisite for started indexing in DOISerbia...
