6. The structure of a Crossref DOI
https://doi.org/10.1006/jmbi.1995.0238
• The DOI directory: makes the DOI actionable on the web
• Prefix: assigned by Crossref
• Suffix: assigned by the publisher
Total DOI = routes through the DOI resolver to point to the registered URL

7. DOI prefix
• One prefix may be used for all content
• New titles may be added at any time
• No limit to the number of DOIs created, also no
minimum number is required.
8. DOI suffix
• consistent
• simple
• short

9. Your landing page
• A full bibliographic citation
• The DOI displayed as a URL - see
www.crossref.org/display-guidelines
• A way to access full text: access to
the full text is controlled by the
publisher, but the landing page must
be accessible to everyone.
11. more metadata
reference lists, funding data, ORCIDs, license data, clinical trial numbers,
errata, retractions, updates and more through our Crossmark service,
JATS-formatted abstracts, relationships between items…
12. Important to maintain your registered content
It’s important to know how to work with the content
you register with Crossref, so that readers can always
find, and use the content you publish
