Article IDs

[JGilbert-eLife]

Description

The unique identifiers for an article (internal publisher ID, DOIs etc)

User stories

1. As an author, I should be able to see the article ID so that I can use it for reference in conversation with production staff.

Production staff

2. As production staff, I should be able to see the DOI so that I know what it will be upon publication.
3. As production staff, I should be able to edit the DOI so that I can correct any errors.

But what if . . . ?

Consideration

• The eLife article numbers are currently five digits long but this may need to increase in the future.
• Érudit and SciELO and others will not have such a clear structure for their article numbers and will need letters, numbers and special characters allowed in this field, so it be not restricted.
• The article number and DOI can be related or unrelated so no logic should be built on them being the same or similar values.
• eLife predefines its DOIs and registers them with Crossref ahead of publication; SciELO and Érudit define their DOIs at the point of publication.

XML requirements

article-id elements with an appropriate @pub-id-type. Captured as a child of article-meta.
eLife has two:

<article-id pub-id-type="publisher-id">12345</article-id>
<article-id pub-id-type="doi">10.7554/eLife.12345</article-id>

SciELO uses one:

<article-id pub-id-type="doi">10.1590/abd1806-4841.20197235 </article-id>

Érudit currently has none (added later on in the workflow using a different process)
