12. Crossref DOI display guidelines
• Always be displayed as a full URL link
• An example of the best practice in displaying a Crossref DOI link is:
https://doi.org/10.1629/22161
• Old format was http://dx.doi.org/
13. Your landing Page
• A full bibliographic citation so that the user can verify they have been
delivered to the correct item
• The DOI displayed as a URL, per display guidelines
• A way to access full text: access to full text is completely controlled
by the publisher but the landing page must be accessible to everyone.
17. more metadata
such as …
reference lists, funding data, ORCIDs, license data, clinical trial
numbers, errata, retractions, updates and more through our
Crossmark service, JATS-formatted abstracts, relationships
between items…
20. Create XML
Crossref Schema
Metadata deposit schema: for everything
Metadata deposit schema 4.4.1 (documentation)
Resource schema: for adding most non-bibliographic
metadata to existing records
doi_resources4.3.6.xsd (documentation)
26. What if something changes?
• Change/correction to the metadata
• E.g. author’s name entered incorrectly
• Change to the URL
• E.g. your publication moves to another website
• Do NOT re-assign another Crossref DOI
• There is no charge to update DOIs
27. How to update your metadata
If there is an error or an update to your metadata:
• Re-submit the metadata
• if updating any of the bibliographic metadata, have to resubmit all the bibliographic
metadata as a whole
• supplemental metadata can be submitted separate from the bibliographic metadata
but would be updated as a whole
• For URL-only changes you can send a .csv file to our support team

28. Next steps: reference linking
• Reference linking means hyperlinking your
references using Crossref DOIs (this is a
membership obligation)
• Readers can then follow a DOI link from the
reference list of an article to the article on the
publisher’s website
