Smart Scholars registers 20 kinds of record with Crossref — not journal articles alone, but books, chapters, conference papers, theses, datasets, standards and grants.
Most DOI services stop at the journal article. A publisher with a book series, a conference proceedings and a set of theses then has to find somebody else for each of them.
We register all 20 of the record types Crossref defines, from one account and one place: journals, books & conferences, other research output and funding.
Every one of them gets a DOI that resolves, metadata an index can read, and a record that stays correct after it is deposited.
Every figure above comes from a public record. This is the record.
