See #65 for notes on CrossRef DOIs.

Currently there is a DOI field on a report's admin page, and it is up to the researcher to go to CrossRef, generate the DOI for their report by completing the web form, and enter it manually on the admin page (see also docs). The admin page generates a DOI suffix to be used for the report (but doesn't enforce it).

We should be able to autogenerate DOIs using CrossRef's API (see #65 for some initial notes). This should only be possible for a published report (as DOI landing pages must be publicly accessible). We might not ALWAYS want to create a DOI for a report, so it shouldn't be completely automatic on saving the report. Options:

  • Have an interim confirmation page so the researcher can confirm/cancel the DOI submission
  • Make it admin object action, so researchers can click a button/link to do the DOI submission.

Also consider making the DOI generation a separate package that can be used in other projects (e.g. opencodelists)
