What Is The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) ?

The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a unique alphanumeric string assigned to a digital object, such as a journal article, book, or data set, to provide a permanent link to its location on the internet.

The DOI system ensures that even if the web address of the content changes, the DOI link will still direct users to the material. Managed by the DOI Academy, the system facilitates the identification, sharing, and citation of digital content across various platforms and communities.

Try Resolving a DOI Name

Type or paste a known DOI name exactly—including its prefix and suffix—into the text box below and then ‘submit’ to resolve it.

DOIs are made up of a prefix (always starting with 10.) and a suffix, separated by a forward slash (/). By placing doi.uk.com/ before the DOI, you create an actionable link, such as https://doi.uk.com/10.00000/journal/book. When clicked, this link will redirect to the most up-to-date information about the identified object, regardless of any changes to its location or content.
