What characters should I use in the suffix of my DOI?
The easiest and recommended option is to use a randomly generated suffix. We group the suffix into blocks of 4, separated by a hyphen. You can generate a random suffix in both Fabrica and the API.
Auto-generate a suffix
The auto-generate DOI name functionality means the DOI suffix is generated automatically and will look something like this:
10.15138/33bv-s284
If you choose not to use this option, remember:
-
The DOI suffix must be unique within each prefix. The optimum length of a DOI suffix is 6–10 characters.
-
Only use
a-z,0-9and-in a DOI suffix. Other characters might have special meaning or will be escaped. DOI suffixes are not case sensitive. -
Avoid human-readable information in a DOI suffix because any meaning may change over time. Further advice on DOI suffixes.
Reserved Characters
Reserved characters should not be included in a DOI suffix:
;|/|?|:|@|&|=|+|$|,
