(*) DOI (Digital Object Identifier):
A digital object identifier DOI is used to permanently identify an object such as an electronic document. The DOI provides more stable linking than a URL, because if the document's URL changes, the DOI metadata is updated to link to the new URL.
NIES is able to mint DOIs via JaLC of which we became a member since 2016.
