Create a DOI via Form

The DOI Form is accessed through the "Create DOI" button, which appears on the left side of all tabs of the Repository dashboard.

On the DOI Form, 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, see Field Descriptions for Form.

For more information on creating DOIs in Fabrica, watch this short video: Creating a DOI using the form in Fabrica

Once you've filled in the appropriate fields, click the "Create DOI" button at the bottom of the page. Your DOI will be saved and the DOI record page will be displayed.

🚧

When will the DOIs I created show up in DataCite Commons?

DOIs will be indexed into DataCite Commons, within 15 minutes after being created in DOI Fabrica.
