Persistent Handlers/Object Identifiers

Handlers, Persistent Identifiers (PID) or Document Object Identifiers (DOI) provide a convenient way for referring to your work, your Simulation Package.

There are several ways of how to obtain such an ID. The easiest one might be the zenodo.org service which has been already mentioned in "How to refer to Input Data".

Please login to zenodo and follow the upload instructions. There will be a step for requesting a DOI before actually submitting any files (see also the last question in the "General" section of the zenodo FAQ ). You may want to request such a preliminary DOI before the final submit to your git repository in order to add this DOI to the package description (README.md).
