LSE DOI Registration (DataCite) is one of 7 APIs that [London School of Economics and Political Science](https://apis.io/providers/lse/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Research Repository, DataCite, DOI, Persistent Identifiers, and Open Research. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

LSE is a registered DataCite provider — member identifier lcqr, "London School of Economics", memberType consortium_organization, region EMEA, registered 2020-09-01, linked to ROR https://ror.org/0090zs177. Three repositories mint DOIs under it: bl.lse (institutional), lcqr.lsedl (LSE Digital Library) and lcqr.plmezb (Houghton St Press). The registration and the minted identifiers are LSE's; the API that exposes them is DataCite's, so this is recorded as a tenancy rather than an LSE-operated interface. It is nonetheless one of the few genuinely machine-queryable facts about LSE's research output.
