Share

You can share your Nodes with others in four ways:

• via bibliographical citation,

• via share link,

• via persistent identifier,

• via content identifier, and

• via CID.

Share via Bibliographical Citation

You can share your Nodes document, data or code in your bibliography through classic citation methods and styles. You can generate and copy the citation in a number of different styles, to suit your choice of citation programme.

See further information and options under Cite.

[update] Share via Persistent Identifier

When you publish your Node, it will automatically receive a decentralized persistent identifier (dPID). You can share your work with others by forwarding this permanent link to your work. Others can cite your work using this PID.

dPID feel and function like simple filepaths. This makes it super simple to share and granularly cite individual components.

You can access your Node's dPID from General user overview. Click on Cite for whichever component you want to share and simply copy the dPID. The root dPID always looks like this: dpid.org/{some number}. This root dPID always points to the latest version of the full Node. But with dPID, you can get specific: Want to share a CSV from Dataset 5 from Version 2 of your Node? Sure. Just select the component in General user overview and copy its dPID -- or type out the dPID yourself. It's always dpid.org / {Your Node's root PID} / {version number} /{component type}/ {component name}.

[update] Share via Share Link

You can share published Nodes with peers by sending them a share-link. You can even direct them to specific components of your Node by sending them a public link to that specific component. Simply click on the share icon in the top right corner. This will open a window with public share links to your entire Node as well as each individual component. Copy the one you need and send it to your peers! Sharing research is that easy.

[update] Share and Re-Use via CID

Nodes are optimized for re-usability and interoperability. Each component published with DeSci Nodes has its unique content identifier (CID). This identifier is, as the name says, based on the component's content -- and therefore unique to this component (and its exact duplicates). You can use CIDs to access your components through other applications connected to the IPFS network, like compute over data with Bacalhau.

Grab any component's CID via General user overview. Navigate to the component of interest and hit . Click on Copy Link to save the CID to your clipboard.
