Rules for create DOI numbers to publications issued by University of Warsaw
What are DOI and ORCID?
DOI (Digital Object Identification) – a digital identifier of any subject of intellectual property, whose task is to constantly identify this subject in digital networks in connection with current data on it.One DOI identifier is assigned only to one electronic document and allows it to be assigned a permanent designation that is independent of its current physical location in the network, i.e. the URL address.
The DOI number is not assigned, but is individually created by the registrant.
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) – code created to identify the authors and co-authors of scientific and academic publications; in leading indexing databases it enables automatic assignment of publications to the author and counting his achievements.

The agreement concluded with the University of Warsaw with CrossRef enables creating DOI numbers to scientific publications, issued by organizational units of the University of Warsaw. University organizational units should have valid agreements with the authors of the texts to enable publication distribution. One of the conditions of the agreement between the University of Warsaw and Crossref, regarding the assignment of DOI numbers, is to make published works available to the Similarity Check system. It is a text database used by the iThenticate anti-plagiarism system. Failure to comply with this condition of the contract may impose high penalties on the University of Warsaw and / or prevent the use of the anti-plagiarism system. The costs of assigning DOI numbers are incurredby the University of Warsaw organizational units. Administrative services and settlements are carried out by the Warsaw University Press (WUP).
