The University of Queensland’s Bunya supercomputer now has a digital object identifier (DOI), enabling precise and simple attribution of the resource in scholarly publications.
DOIs are used to uniquely identify research objects and provide a persistent link to the location of the object on the internet. They also enable citation and tracking of citation metrics.
RCC Director Jake Carroll said the team wanted to simplify the way RCC capabilities are acknowledged in research and scholarly publications.
“As a research supporting unit, in a research-intensive organisation, we need to cater to the needs and expectations of our clients. Appropriate forms of citation and acknowledgement are a part of that,” said Jake.
“For researchers, it means simplified acknowledgement [of Bunya]. Less words, more meaning and more space for research content on the page!”
For UQ, it means efficiency of tracking: Using DOIs allows the University to efficiently understand the successes of its researchers and their work, as well as the UQ services they used.
Bunya's DOI is registered and findable, with metadata associated in the record.
RCC's use of DOIs is similar to those created for national supercomputers Gadi, operated by National Computational Infrastructure (NCI) in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), and Setonix, operated by the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre in Western Australia (WA).
