Including funding references in the bibliographic information associated with a DOI is important for transparency and accountability in research. It allows readers to see who provided financial support for the research or development of the digital object, and helps to ensure that the research is conducted in an ethical and responsible manner. Funding references can also be important for tracking the impact and dissemination of research, as funding agencies often require researchers to report on the outcomes of their research in order to assess the impact of their funding. In summary, funding references provide important information about the financial support that contributed to the research or development of the digital object, and are an important part of the bibliographic information associated with a DOI.

rights / license
|
Rights and license of something related to a DOI refer to the legal framework governing the use and distribution of the digital object. The rights associated with a digital object can include various types of intellectual property rights, such as copyright, patents, and trademarks. These rights govern how the digital object can be used, copied, and distributed, and are typically established by the creator or copyright holder of the digital object. In addition to intellectual property rights, the license of a digital object can also specify how the digital object can be used and distributed. A license is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions for use of the digital object, such as whether it can be modified, shared, or used for commercial purposes. In general, licenses can be broadly categorized as either open or closed. Open licenses, such as Creative Commons licenses, allow for more flexible and permissive use of the digital object, while closed licenses, such as proprietary software licenses, may restrict or limit use of the digital object. It is important to note that the rights and license of a digital object can have important implications for its use and dissemination, as well as for issues related to equity and social justice in scholarship. Many researchers, institutions, and publishers are increasingly prioritizing open licensing and sharing of research in order to increase its impact and accessibility, and to promote the values of open science. In summary, the rights and license of a digital object associated with a DOI refer to the legal framework governing its use and distribution. It is an important element of the bibliographic information associated with a DOI, as it affects the accessibility and dissemination of the digital object.

access rights
|
The level of accessibility that is granted to the digital object. Access rights can vary depending on the type of digital object and the policies of the publisher or hosting platform. In general, access rights can include various levels of open or restricted access, such as: Open access: The digital object is freely and openly available to all users without any restrictions. Restricted access: The digital object is only accessible to certain users or groups, such as subscribers, members, or authorized users. Embargoed access: The digital object is available, but there is a period of time during which access is restricted, typically for a certain number of months or years after publication. It is important to note that access rights can have important implications for the dissemination and impact of research, as well as for issues related to equity and social justice in scholarship. Many funding agencies, institutions, and publishers are increasingly prioritizing open access to research in order to increase its visibility and impact, and to ensure that it is accessible to a wider audience. In summary, access rights refer to the level of access granted to a digital object, and can vary depending on the type of digital object and the policies of the publisher or hosting platform. It is an important element of the bibliographic information associated with a DOI, as it affects the accessibility and dissemination of the digital object.

Proper classification of scientific work is essential for effective communication and dissemination of research findings. When describing the terms used to classify their work, scientists should consider the most appropriate and accurate descriptors that reflect the subject matter and scope of their research. These terms may include technical jargon, specialized terminology, or keywords that are commonly used in their field of study. It is important to use terms that are widely recognized and accepted within the scientific community, as this will increase the visibility and discoverability of the research. Researchers can refer to existing classification schemes or taxonomies that are commonly used in their field to ensure that their work is properly categorized.
