Getting Started with DOIs in the IR

Crossref supports two methods of depositing and registering your DOIs, manual and automated. Manual deposit requires the least technical skill but is very slow. Automated deposit requires more technical skill but is very fast.

To manually deposit and register a DOI, submit Crossref's Web Deposit Form for each DOI here: http://www.crossref.org/webDeposit/

For more information on using the Web Deposit Form, see here: https://support.crossref.org/hc/en-us/articles/215654343-Web-deposit-form

For most repositories, automated deposit involves converting your OAI-PMH XML for the items to be registered to Crossref deposit XML using a XSL stylesheet. For more information on creating content registration XML, see here: https://support.crossref.org/hc/en-us/articles/215577783-Creating-content-registration-XML

For journals, Georgia Southern University provides XSL stylesheets to transform Digital Commons' issue-level OAI-PMH XML to Crossref 4.3.2 XML in preparation for batch deposit. Stylesheets are provided for XSLT v1.0 and v2.0 transformers, including Notepad++ with the XML Tools plugin (v1.0) and oXygen XML Editor using the Saxon HE, EE, or PE processor (v2.0). Instructions for Notepad++ are included.
