IOP Publishing has made a significant move to enhance research data access in the scientific community. They are now assigning Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to all supplementary data files. This initiative aims to support open science and improve the impact of research findings.
This development allows researchers to easily cite and access important data associated with their publications. By implementing DOIs, IOP Publishing is helping to create a more integrated research ecosystem. This change not only facilitates easier data sharing but also enhances the visibility of supplementary materials, making them more discoverable.
