Why use DOI? And how is Oroboros Instrumetns involved?
- Digital Object Identifier or DOI is a persistent identifier or handle used to uniquely identify online publications in order to ensure they remain traceable, searchable and citable over the long term. Compared to other types of persistent identifier, the DOI system is widespread and well established in the life sciences arena, and it provides widely accepted visible proof that a publication is citable.
- In January 2019 an agreement for provision of digital identifiers (“Agreement”) was concluded by and between the public foundation German National Library of Medicine, Information Centre for Life Sciences (Stiftung öffentlichen Rechts Deutsche Zentralbibliothek für Medizin, Informations-zentrum Lebenswissenschaften), having its principal place of business at Gleueler Str. 60, 50931 Köln, Germany (hereinafter called “ZB MED”) and the Oroboros Instruments (Schöpfstrasse 18, A-6020 Innsbruck, Austria) as a Data Centre (hereinafter called “DC”), which entitles Oroboros Instruments to assign DOI to selected publications and abstracts.
- ZB MED is a member of DataCite e. V. and a procurement agency for digital object identifiers (DOI names). By offering its DOI registration service, ZB MED facilitates and promotes not-for-profit online publications in the fields of medicine, health, and nutritional, environmental and agricultural sciences.
Rights and obligations of Oroboros as DC
- DC is responsible for:
- a. the storage and ensuring the persistence of the scientific objects
- b. the provision of access, review process and maintenance of the Metadata
- c. the quality control
- DC is responsible for:
Property and user rights
- The registration of scientific content does not include any transfer or assignment of ownership of any Intellectual Property right (IPR).
- In all cases where copyright applies, DC warrants that it owns the copyright and intellectual property rights of the Metadata registered by ZB MED and is entitled to the registration of the objects. In the event third parties make claims against ZB MED or DataCite e. V. in connection with these rights, DC shall avert all claims against ZB MED or its cooperation partners and indemnify ZB MED and its cooperation partners for any claims by third parties which relate to any possible legal infringement through the storage and the distribution of Metadata, if the DC is at fault. This shall not apply, if the use of the Metadata by ZB MED constitutes a breach of the rights granted in this Agreement.
- ZB MED is entitled to integrate the metadata into ZB MED services, use the metadata and grant access to items of content by ZB MED services (e.g. cataloguing for ZB MED portals) or by the access services of cooperation partners.
- Please note that DOIs can generally only be assigned to entire collections and their constituent parts – not to individual items from a collection. That means, for example, that journal publishers are welcome to use our services to obtain DOIs for the articles that appear in their journals on a regular basis. If you are an individual author who wishes to obtain a DOI for one or more articles, we would ask you to first discuss this issue with your editor or the publisher of the journal.
