  • How to cite using this DOI

    • Digital Object Identifiers

    Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are persistent identifiers which can be used to consistently and accurately reference digital objects and/or content. The DOIs provide a way for the ADS resources to be cited in a similar fashion to traditional scholarly materials. More information on DOIs at the ADS can be found on our help page.

    Citing this DOI

    DOIs should be the last element in a citation irrespective of the format used. The DOI citation should begin with "doi:" in lowercase followed by the DOI with no spaces between the ":" and the DOI.

    doi:10.5284/1000066

    DOIs can also be cited as a persistent link from another Web page. This is done by appending the DOI Resolver with the DOI. This would look like:

    http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000066

    However, if it is possible it is best to hide the URL in the href property of the <a> tag and have the link text be of the form doi:10.5284/1000066. The HTML for this would look like:

    <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5284/1000066">doi:10.5284/1000066</a>

Introduction

This project originated as an English Heritage funded project to develop an easy way of depositing the digital archive generated by the cataloguing of pottery. Another aspect of the project was to try to attempt to address the long standing tension inherent in the dissemination and publication of pottery within the context of archaeological reports, not only to pottery specialists but the audiences beyond.

It is hoped that this method will be used by others so that this becomes a useful resource for all.
