Researchgate asking to generate a doi when an unpublished data id uploaded.
In my opinion no because it has no International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) but I am eagerly waiting for the views of other RG colleagues.
I also think so but I was surprised to see RG asking me to generate a DOI when I was uploading a preprint of my research!
You will face a difficulty after uploading the preprint of a paper. After actual publication of the paper there is no option in RG to replace the preprint with the final printed version.
They are giving an option to upload the original version. Let me wait and see what happens when the original manuscript is published.
DOI is just a link. Some people have link of papers to their fttp server. So its not a big deal. The value is not of the DOI but the article. Secondly, you should also make sure if you have authority to put an article on your public profile? if ok then RG DOI is perfectly ok.
I agree with Dr. Kumar. Its to offer an identification link to the work
Respected Dr. Jefferson,
Thank you very much for the clarification. I wanted to know about the new names.
With kind regards,
Tapas.
Dr. Subir sir, you are wrong. After actual publication of the paper THERE SURELY IS option in RG to replace the preprint with the final printed version. I did two of my latest publications from Botanical Journal of Linnean Society yesterday only. You need to remove the pdf and add new pdf. Very simple!!
Coming back to a question:
If I upload an unpublished manuscript in Research Gate and generate a DOI, whether this will be treated as an effective and valid publication?
NO. An unpublished publication is obviously invalid in case of new species.
Dear Pankaj,
Thank you for the information.
Kindly let me know the steps to do so.
With best wishes.
Subir.
You need to delete the old pdf. Then automatically there will be option to add new one. Cant add two pdfs on one publication.
Open the contribution page.
Click on publication which you wish to change.
On right hand side there is an arrow facing down. Click on the arrow and REMOVE option will appear.
Click on REMOVE and you will get five options.
Click on 3rd option: Remove full-text from publication page
Once you have removed. Go back and add new pdf.
Hope this helps.
Pankaj
