Registering a DOI

Curvenote can register DOIs for appropriate content hosted on the Curvenote venues. This can be either under Curvenote’s DOI prefix (10.62329) or if included in your active subscription, under your own prefix.

The registration process is currently manual, to request a DOI get in touch with Curvenote Support.

Deposit types¶

Crossref supports multiple deposit types; Curvenote currently supports the following four. For each of these, supported article metadata is pulled from the curvenote.yml frontmatter and includes:

• title
• subtitle
• doi
• date - used as publication date
• license - only the URL is used
• funding - MyST funding information is reduced to only award numbers and sources
• first_page/last_page

Additionally, the following information will be pulled from the curvenote.yml#project:

• abstract
• citations - only citations with DOIs are included

Different deposit types have different required fields. If DOIs are not provided, the user will be able to select new DOIs. If other required fields are not provided, the user will receive an error message.

This type is used to register a new journal and/or new journal articles. In addition to the above article metadata for each article, this deposit type requires journal title and DOI, set under venue frontmatter in curvenote.yml:

• venue.title - journal title
• venue.doi - journal DOI

You may also specify in the frontmatter:

• venue.short_title - journal abbreviation

Conference¶

This type is used to register a conference proceedings. Similar to “journal” deposits, this will attempt to discover multiple articles.

Dataset¶

This type is used to register a database deposit. For this type, each “article” is considered a dataset, where “article frontmatter” is used as dataset frontmatter.

In addition to the individual dataset metadata, this deposit type requires a database title, set under venue frontmatter in curvenote.yml:

• venue.title - database title

You may also specify in the frontmatter:

• editors - database contributors (independent from the individual dataset authors)
• venue.doi - a related item that each dataset is part of.

Preprint¶

This type is used to register any posted content - these are standalone articles not associated with a journal or conference. You cannot register multiple articles with this type. Also, there is no additional metadata required than the article metadata described above.
