Digital Object Identifier (DOI) values
Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) provide a permanent public reference to content. Add a unique doi attribute value to any element where the doi attribute is valid.
//@doi
DOIs consist of a prefix identifying the publisher, followed by a forward slash, followed by a productID suffix that is unique within the prefix.
For some content types, a DOI is provided by OUP. When a DOI is provided by OUP, use this as the doi attribute value instead of creating one according to the format described here.
General DOI format
The general format for DOIs in OUP XML text is:
10.1093/productID/documentID.elementCode.nn
Where:
-
10.1093 - is the prefix identifying the publisher.
-
productID - is the same as the corresponding part of the element ID, or at least related to it.
-
documentID - is also usually the same as the corresponding part of the element ID.
-
elementCode - is the code for the element carrying the doi attribute.
-
nn - is a unique and sequential value, that follows on from the preceding element with the same name. In most instances, this number should match the number at the end of the sibling id attribute.
For capture of single articles or chapters, i.e. where the root element is
e, chapter, or miscMatter, the
value of nn will be provided by OUP.
DOI format for elements below chapter/entry/article level
For elements within chapter, e and miscMatter, the doi attribute value follows the format:
ancestorDOI.elementCode.nn
Where:
-
ancestorDOI - represents the doi attribute value of the chapter, e, or miscMatter ancestor of this element
