The DOI name appears at the top of the page. The suffix is automatically generated (this is the recommended option, but it can be edited). Select the state and then enter the metadata. Draft state does not require metadata, only the identifier and the state (selected as Draft). Registered and Findable DOIs need to have all the required metadata fields. The fields in the Form correspond to the DataCite Metadata Schema.

For help on filling in each field, please see Field Descriptions for Form
