What we do for a journal

Priced per journal. Start with the audit (₹4,999); add what the audit shows you need.

DOI Doctor

DOIs registered, completed, checked and kept resolving

DOI registration (Smart Deposit)

A new DOI from what the journal already has — PDF, Word file, article page, JATS XML or a spreadsheet — every value shown with its source and deposited once you confirm it.

What you get, how to get it →

Backfile DOIs for older articles

DOIs for the articles a journal published before it had DOIs — in one pattern for every journal, one article to one DOI, registered on your approval.

What you get, how to get it →

DOI check & repair

Every DOI tested at doi.org and Crossref; a dead link pointed at the article’s current page; the record read back after every fix.

What you get, how to get it →

Crossref metadata completion

References, abstracts, licences, ORCID iDs, affiliations with ROR IDs, funding and CRediT roles put on every record — the elements Crossref’s Participation Reports measure.

What you get, how to get it →

DOI census (Excel)

Your site against Crossref, both directions — articles without a DOI, DOIs not registered, wrong formats, duplicates — with a copy-paste fix per article.

What you get, how to get it →

Journal Radar — the daily watch

Every journal checked every day — site, SSL, DNS, redirects, robots.txt, OJS, DOIs resolving, Crossref counts, links — what broke since yesterday first.

What you get, how to get it →

Conference proceedings DOIs

The conference, the volume and every paper given a DOI — registered in the organiser’s own name.

What you get, how to get it →

DOIs for books, theses, reports and data

Books, chapters, theses, reports, standards, datasets and grants — 20 kinds of record, one account, one place.

What you get, how to get it →

Verified metrics, badges and quality dossier

A public, dated, source-linked metrics page for the journal, a “cited by” badge, and one quality dossier PDF for universities, authors and reviewers.

What you get, how to get it →
