Dear data citation aficionados


There was a question going around our water group about DOIs vs uris for citation. Clearly many data journals strongly recommend DOIs but does anyone know if they are mandatory or just recommended?

And for an organisation capable of maintaining persistent identifiers, do they hold any intrinsic benefits over DOIs, e.g. in relation to the gathering of statistics around citations, e.g. h-index?

It seems crossref / datacite / scholix support other forms:

https://support.datacite.org/docs/connecting-research-outputs


Thanks

Matt
