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

DOIs on an e element and descendants
