DOI

It is planned to assign a DOI number (Digital Object Identifier System number) to every abstract. In this case the abstracts will be published in the DGGV media library (https://www.dggv.de/e-publikationen/). Unfortunately, this cannot be guaranteed this year.

Additionally, a single DOI number will be assigned to the whole book of abstracts by FID GEO. The book will be available on the publicationserver of the FID GEO and on the DMG website, too.
