Overview

Persistent Identifiers and Citation Metadata, Handled Article by Article

Every published article needs a persistent identifier that readers, indexers, and citation tools can rely on permanently. Our DOI registration services cover DOI assignment through Crossref, structured XML metadata submission, and reference linking, giving your journal accurate, machine-readable citation metadata that supports discoverability, correct attribution, and long-term link stability.

DOI Registration & Assignment

Digital object identifiers assigned and registered with Crossref for every article, abstract, and issue you publish.

XML Metadata Submission

Article, author, and issue metadata prepared and deposited to Crossref in properly structured XML for every submission.

Reference Linking

Cited references matched and linked through Crossref, connecting your articles to the broader citation network.

Metadata Deposit for Every Issue

Ongoing metadata deposit scheduled with each new issue, so DOIs and citation records stay current as you publish.
