 Using the OSF means that the place you go to manage your research can also be the place you go to share your research. In addition to its own unique persistent identifiers, the OSF issues digital object identifiers, or DOIs, and archival resource keys, or ARCs. The DOI or ARC for a document remains fixed over the lifetime of a document, regardless of its location. Some publishers may require a DOI or ARC for citing data sets or other documents. At present, the OSF issues DOIs and ARCs for public registrations only. To create one of these identifiers for your project, first create a registration of your project, and then make the registration public. Next, click the link below the description on the Registrations Overview page. Confirm the creation and you'll see your DOI and ARC appear. If you click to view the registration citation, you'll find several pre-formatted citations that include your DOI.
