A digital object identifier Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a persistent identifier assigned to uniquely identify a digital object. A DOI is defined by a digital location like a URL and a description of the object. This description includes attribution and a creation or publication date. Creating and assigning a new DOI is commonly known as “minting”. Minting a DOI for things in Synapse allows you to reference them when used elsewhere, such as in a publication or on an external website.

While DOIs are designed to be public, minting a DOI does not change the sharing settings/wiki/spaces/DOCS/pages/2024276030 on an object. However, the metadata minted with a DOI, such as title and authors, will be retrievable from other sources, such as CrossCite, even if the object is private in Synapse.
Minting DOIs
Navigate to the data or project you’d like to create a DOI for.
From the Tools Menu, select the option for Create DOI for the object in question, or choose Create DOI from the Project Settings menu if minting a DOI for an entire project.
Fill out the form as needed. You can add other creators if there are other individuals who contributed to your work. You can select a resource type which describes what type of object it is. The title and publication year can be changed, but this is not advisable.
If you do not see these options, you likely do not have permission to create a DOI for the object. Only users with Edit access or above may mint DOIs for objects. You can also update an existing DOI if information has changed.
