Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs®) facilitate persistent identification for content objects on the Internet.

Assigning DOIs to manuscripts makes it easier for your audience to find and cite manuscripts.

Editorial Manager (EM) and Preprint Manager (PM) can be configured to automatically generate and assign DOIs, in a specified format, for your manuscripts based on specific events in the editorial workflow (for example, at manuscript acceptance). The process can be configured according to journal/publisher preference. Assigned DOIs can be “transmitted” from the system for deposit into repositories such as CrossRef.
