The MPDL has signed an agreement with the Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology University Library (TIB Hannover), enabling us to assign DataCite DOI names to research data and grey literature on behalf of Max Planck researchers. The DOI registration process is already integrated into MPG.PuRe, the publication repository of the Max Planck Society,  Edmond – the Open Research Data Repository of the Max Planck Society, and Keeper –  MPDL’s  self-archiving service.

Read on to learn more about:

• Why assigning DOI names to research data or grey literature?
• What are the requirements to request DOI names via the MPDL service?
• As a Max Planck researcher, how can I receive a DOI name for my publication or research data?
• As a Max Planck institute or project, can we use this service to assign DOI names to objects stored in our local repository?
