We are Crossref Member!
Crossref is the official agency that registers DOI links for professional publications. In early 2000, the largest scientific publishing houses created an independent non-profit organization, Publishers International Linking Association, which manages CrossRef. Currently, the Supervisory Board consists of representatives of, among others: Elsevier, Nature and Wiley-Blackwell.
From today, RIC Pro-Akademia can assign all our electronic publications a permanent digital ID. Our DOI prefix is 10.32933. Our publications will therefore have unique identifiers in the format https://doi.org/10.32933/XXXXXX.
All of our new publications (articles in Acta Innovations, monographs, reports available online) will be assigned the DOI identifier.
Digital Object Identifier or DOI is a persistent identifier or handle used to uniquely identify objects, standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). DOIs are in wide use mainly to identify academic, professional, and government information, such as journal articles, research reports and data sets, and official publications though they also have been used to identify other types of information resources, such as commercial videos.
A DOI aims to be "resolvable", usually to some form of access to the information object to which the DOI refers. This is achieved by binding the DOI to metadata about the object, such as a URL, indicating where the object can be found. Thus, by being actionable and interoperable, a DOI differs from identifiers such as ISBNs and ISRCs which aim only to uniquely identify their referents. The DOI for a document remains fixed over the lifetime of the document, whereas its location and other metadata may change. Referring to an online document by its DOI is supposed to provide a more stable link than simply using its URL. But every time a URL changes, the publisher has to update the metadata for the DOI to link to the new URL.
