Give project pages a DOI

[jluebeck]

Similar to figshare, allow users to get a doi for a project. Possibly one that indicates the project version (e.g. .v1, like Figshare)

Seems that to assign DOIs we need to work through a DOI Registration Agency (RA). There are several, the 2 that seemmost germain to use are DataCite and CrossRef. To use Datacite the cheapest option is 500 euros per year plus 8.8 euros per assigned DOI up to 1999 DOI per year. For 2000+ it jumps to 2100 euro per year and on up. CrossRef starts at $275/year but its based off revenue/expenses so if we go under the UC umbrella it would probably be $50k/year. I am going to contact UCSD Libraries to see if there is any existing structure we can sneak in under for UCSD

we need to talk to the UCSD Libraries Research Data Curation team https://library.ucsd.edu/research-and-collections/research-data/index.html who can generate DOIs but the metadata required is a bit more than we have in AmpRepo. I suggest we schedule a meeting that includes Jens, Ted, library rep and any other AmpRepo team members that are interested for a future Thursday meeting

Notes from 5/16 - May be expensive to create one per project, one option is to have DOI creation upon request - not immediately.

Need first/last name.

UCSD library may be the cheapest way to set this up.

Jens will set up a meeting with the library people

Permalink solution seems to work for now - no DOI requested by journals.
Jens to report which URLs are being published. Store this info somewhere so we know to keep those projects intact in future updates to the site.
