The Digital Object Identifier extension integrates CKAN with the DataCite DOI service to provide persistent, citable identifiers for datasets, enabling academic citation, research reproducibility, and long-term data referencing. This essential extension automates DOI assignment during dataset publication while managing the complete DOI lifecycle including metadata synchronization, updates, and deletion handling. The system provides seamless integration with DataCite’s metadata schema, automatically mapping CKAN fields to Dublin Core and DataCite metadata standards. Advanced features include DOI preview functionality, citation format generation in multiple academic styles (APA, MLA, Chicago), and integration with scholarly communication workflows. The extension supports both automatic and manual DOI assignment with administrative controls and batch DOI operations for existing datasets. Landing page generation ensures DOI resolution leads to properly formatted dataset pages with complete citation information. Essential for research institutions publishing research data, government agencies requiring persistent data references, academic libraries managing institutional data repositories, and organizations participating in scholarly data sharing networks where persistent identification and proper attribution are critical for research impact and compliance.
