DOI
Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are permanent labels supporting research data accessibility, citation,
reuse and verification, thereby facilitating progress from previous work, new research and avoidance of research duplication.
WDCGG DOI Policy
WDCGG registers DOIs for archived data in relation to:
|
|
Individual datasets
|
|
|
Yearly fixed datasets for individual gas species
|
Users cite DOIs based on the relevant data.
Individual datasets
WDCGG issues DOIs for individual datasets as requested by contributors.
DOIs are not issued for datasets that already have original identifiers issued by contributors, which are posted as-is on the WDCGG website.
Contributors can request WDCGG DOI issuance upon data submission.
As DOIs remain constant even when data are updated, users should cite the DOI with the relevant data version.
Refer to the citation format on the relevant dataset page.
Yearly fixed datasets for individual gas species
Unique DOIs are issued for individual gas species datasets used for WMO GHG Bulletins and WDCGG Data Summaries every year (yearly fixed datasets).
These sets contain all data contributed by GAW stations and mobile stations regardless of DOI status.
Data may be updated or added after a DOI is issued for the yearly fixed dataset.
For the latest version of data from all stations and mobile platforms, refer to individual DOIs for the updated data in addition to the latest DOI for the yearly fixed dataset.
