<p>Hi James,</p>
<p>At very cursory glance the hyphen used in 1189 looks like a long
hyphen (e.g. an em dash) when as 1199 looks to be a regular hypen
(i.e. typically on th key to the right of the 0 key on a regular
keyboard). I know that EPrints wraps up the metadata it sends to
DataCite in XML. It is possible that an encoding issue caused a
problem with generating valid XML to send to DataCite's API.<br>
</p>
<p>I would try fixing the long hyphen in the title (for 1189) and
also checking author's names and other fields that may have
special characters (i.e. cannot be type form a standard QWERTY
UK/US keyboard) and replace these if you can. I am not exactly
sure off hand what fields you need to fix, although the abstract
may be worth a check as well.</p>
<p>It is likely there is a failed event queue task for minting a DOI
for 1189, so rather than clicking the "Coin DOI" button in the
actions menu for this item, it is worth going into the event queue
via the admin menu and resetting the appropriate task to "Waiting"
and see if this runs successfully a second time.</p>
<p>In general, I have encountered encoding issues a lot when working
with third party applications. I have been trying to do a few
things to address encoding issues in general for the next release
of EPrints 3.4 (i.e. the wide character error message that often
occurs in the Apache error logs) but I have ot had a chance to see
if these improvements help with third-party applications like
DataCite and Twitter.</p>
<p>Regards</p>
<p>David Newman<br>

<div>I'm having some difficulty with DataCite minting DOIs for
a batch of records I uploaded to our data repository. I was
awake until around 3am trying to sort it and did not get
far.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>These are records I imported myself by parsing an excel
spreadsheet, writing the EPrints XML and importing them. I
am almost 100% sure that the fault lies with me. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some are minting and some aren't. I did suspect that it
may be characters in the title field such as brackets,
colons, hyphens etc. but that doesn't appear to be the case.
(Please excuse the state of the abstract pages, I'm working
on it.) </div>

</div>
<div>Oddly it populates the DOI field and shows on the
abstract. The unminted DOIs are not on the DataCite
dashboard.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any pointers would be welcome, otherwise I might need to
mint 100 DOIs manually, which I'm not super excited about.</div>
