Why this matters

Persistent identifiers are the backbone of reproducible research. When they break, citations become dead links and scholarly records are lost forever. MDOI exists to prevent that — and we need your help to keep it running.

Resolver uptime

Funds go toward server capacity to maintain 99.9 % uptime for the MDOI resolution service used by institutions worldwide.

Security & compliance

Regular audits, TLS hardening, and GDPR-aligned data practices protect every researcher's metadata record.

Open-source development

Open-source development

APIs, crosswalk tools, and integrations are built in the open — your donation accelerates community-driven features.

Global access

Global access

No paywall, no registration required to resolve an MDOI. We keep it free for researchers regardless of institution or geography.
