 Digital Object Identifiers were initially used for papers but now their application has been extended to other research products as dataset and software. A DOI is basically a persistent url that resolves to a metadata record. This record should have. alink to the actual research object. The way a research output is made available online then can change overtime without this affecting the DOI itself. Even if eventually a dataset or paper is retired and is not anymore available, a DOI will still point to its associated metadata and provide infomration on how it can be obtained.

A researcher ID is a unique identifier which you can add to anything which define you as a researcher: papers, blogs, published datasets, web-pages, code repositories etc. It will help other researchers to identify you more easily and it will make it easier to discover any aspect of your work.</span></span></span></span>
