Using a DOI to upload your research to RaY

A DOI or Digital Object Identifier is a unique alphanumeric string which is assigned by the publisher when your article is published electronically. The DOI of an article always remains the same so is much more stable than a url which is prone to change.
The DOI always begins with ‘10’ followed by a combination of numbers and/or letters. Eg.

10.1080/1533015X.2015.1111080

10.1007/s11103-016-0452-0

10.1558/ruth.v9i1.7

The DOI can be used to upload your article details into RaY. In the Manage Deposits option in the menu select the Import from DOI (via CrossRef) option:

Then simply paste your article’s DOI into the box – you can do multiple DOIs at the same time if you have more than one item to load – and click on Import:

The bibliographic details of your article are automatically pulled through from the CrossRef database. You should check these and add any local data such as your email address in the Creators field, Department and subjects. You will also need to upload a file

If you have any questions about using the DOI to upload your research please email RaY.
