Why do publishers join CrossRef?
 To get persistent identifiers for
their content
 To drive more traffic to their
content
 To turn references into
hyperlinks
 To pull in cited-by links (who
cites this?) to get more traffic
 Participate in other
collaborative services
(CrossCheck, CrossMark,
FundRef)

7. What is a DOI?
Digital
Object
Identifier

8. It is alphanumeric a DOI?
8

9. It uniquely
identifies
content

10. It serves as a stable link to that
content’s digital location

11. It looks like this:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1045/june2001.ianella
http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/smj.376
http://dx.doi.org/10.1265/ehpm.8.184
http://dx.doi.org/10.12345/abc

12. DOI-enabled linking

13. DOI syntax

14. Now let’s make it actionable in
a browser…

17. DOI suffixes must be
Unique within a prefix

18. DOI suffixes should be
• Consistent
• Logical
• Easily documented
• Readily implemented
• Short

19. DOI suffixes may be
• Opaque
• Meaningful

20. New display guidelines
http://dx.doi.org/10.nnnnn/DOIsuffixgoeshere
replaces
doi:10.nnnnn/DOIsuffixgoeshere
DOI:10.nnnnn/DOIsuffixgoeshere
Doi: 10.nnnnn/DOIsuffixgoeshere
and other variations.
