Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) now available for all corpora

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Info-CHILDES and CHIBolts,

  My message from Sunday evening explained the reoganization of access pages for CHILDES and PhonBank corpora.  One facet of this reorganization deserves particular mention.  This is the inclusion of a DOI number for each corpus.  DOI is an acronym for Digital Object Identifier.  It is a code generated by an international system that registers these numbers for retrieval of materials over the web, most typically for libraries.  However, TalkBank and CHILDES are members of this international system.
  Contributors of data sets should include these DOI numbers in their curriculum vitae both to document the publication for things like promotion and tenure and also to help users locate information about the corpus.  Moreover, journals are now requiring that DOI numbers be included in references that are cited in articles under review.
  Resolution of the DOI works differently depending on your browser.  In Google Chrome, you can type a DOI, such as doi:10.21415/T5RG60 directly into the search bar and Google gives you a link to get directly to the corpus page.   If you are using some other browser besides Chrome, you can resolve a DOI by connecting to http://dx.doi.org  and typing in the DOI there, as in doi:10.21415/T5RG60
