DOI (Digital Object Identifier) Payment

A DOI number (Digital Object Identifier) is a unique alphanumeric string assigned to an article, serving as its permanent web address. It directs searchers to the publisher’s website and the article itself. Each article receives a DOI at the time of publication, ensuring its identification throughout its lifetime, regardless of any changes in its location.

  • Enables quick and precise searches.
  • Ensures that the article can always be located.
  • Provides a persistent link to the article’s location on the Internet.

  • Publishers, indexers, aggregators, repositories, and research profile providers rely on DOIs to accurately identify and authenticate scholarly works, ensuring proper attribution to their authors.

FAQs

Why is a DOI important for academic and research articles?

A DOI ensures a persistent, stable link to a published work, making it easy to locate and cite, even if the article's URL changes.

How does a DOI work?

A DOI is linked to metadata about the content. When entered in a DOI resolver (e.g., doi.org), it redirects to the current location of the article.

Is a DOI the same as a URL?

No. While a DOI provides a permanent link, URLs can change. A DOI remains constant even if the website or hosting changes.

No. DOIs are assigned only to published or formally registered content with a recognized publisher or organization.
