DOIs at APS
APS DOI Information for Users

The APS now assigns a unique digital object identifier (DOI) for each experiment conducted at the APS. Users can find their DOIs on the “My DOI” tab in the APS User Portal. Beginning with the 2025-2 user run, the APS will send an email with the DOI number to everyone on the experimental safety assessment form (ESAF) when the ESAF is posted.
