A digital object identifier (DOI) is a unique alphanumeric string assigned by a registration agency (the International DOI Foundation) to identify content and provide a persistent link to a journal article’s location on the Internet.
DOI in Proteopedia
A DOI is uniquely assigned to an individual version of a Proteopedia page, although not all Proteopedia pages have DOIs assigned to them. When available, a DOI is the best way to reference your work in Proteopedia. For example, to reference the page http://proteopedia.org/w/Ribosome you would type in your resumee:
Ribosome, W.Decatur et al, 2013, Proteopedia, doi:xxx/yyy/zzz
Reaching a Proteopedia page from its DOI
Type in your web browser as URL the prefix http://dx.doi.org/ followed by the DOI of a page, and it will take you to the referenced Proteopedia page.
