A DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is the permanent digital address of your thesis. It is used in citations, can be referenced by papers and reports, and remains stable even if the URL changes. RDL-Tez routes requests to your institution and finalises the DOI assignment after approval.
Upload your master's or doctoral thesis to RDL Thesis and request a permanent DOI. It automatically appears on your RDL Network profile and in the Explore feed.
