Digital Object Identifier is a unique number assigned to scholarly articles to ensure their International Standardization and for easier identification of published articles even if the metadata URL is changed. Should all publishers register and assign DOI to their articles? Should DOI assignment be used as one of the key criteria in choosing a good journal by authors?
All publishers should register and assign DOI to their articles and I believe that in the near future all of them will be doing that. DOI is for scientists what EAN is for consumers and it's hard to believe why it was introduced so late.
Choosing a journal for scientific article publication the DOI is only one of the criteria, though probably not the most important one.

Jordan's main topographical feature is a dry plateau running from north to south. This rises steeply from the eastern shores of the Jordan River and the Dead Sea, reaching a height of between 610 and 915 metres (about 2-3,000ft). This plateau area includes most of Jordan's main cities and towns.
In the west runs the Great Rift Valley, a deep depression which includes the Jordan Valley, the Wadi Araba and the Dead Sea. In the area of Lake Tiberias (Sea of Galilee) the valley is about 213m (700ft) below sea level and the Dead Sea marks the world's lowest point, at 395m (1,296ft) below sea level.
In the extreme east, the land slopes downwards from the plateau to the semi-arid steppe country of the Syrian Deser
Unique number assigned to an article allows for a quick and precise search for this paper. Yes, I too believe that all journals should assign DOI to the articles they publish. It's a great thing that Research Gate provides an option to generate a DOI for submissions such as conference papers/presentation slides.
The DOI is a digital object identifier, and actually the internet address of a paper that leads the searcher to the publishers' sites. It enables locating the paper quickly, and serves as the paper's original location.
DOI
is a unique alphanumeric string of numbers, letters or symbols assigned by a registration agency to permanently identify a published document or article. This unique number links to the article on the web and serves as a unique social security identity. It carries information related to the year of publication and sometimes the volume. Since the number is electronically sensitive, the search for such published documents with DOI is always very easy.

Hello Umar,
If you search the Google scholar for a specific title of an article, you may find several articles that share salient phrases of the title. On the other hand, the DOI of each document is unique even if the titles of several documents are very close to each other. This illustrates the importance of the DOI.
