The Crossref Curriculum

Content negotiation

Content negotiation means the ability to specify the format in which a record will be returned.

Crossref and DataCite support content-negotiated DOIs via https://0-data-crossref-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/ and https://data.datacite.org/. Learn more about content negotiation.
