Identifiers & discovery

Identifiers & discovery page

Janeway supports minting Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for articles and issues through Crossref and DataCite. This section explains how DOIs are generated and registered, and covers other identifier and discovery services relevant to your journal.

  • Crossref article DOI
    When article DOIs are minted, how to check and manage them using the DOI Manager, and the Crossref settings required.
  • Crossref issue DOI
    How issue-level DOIs are generated and registered alongside article DOIs, and important limitations to be aware of.
  • DataCite DOIs
    Registering DOIs with DataCite as an alternative to Crossref.

Google Scholar indexing is automatic; they use a webcrawler that looks for relevant materials (articles, monographs, preprints, reports, etc). It takes some time for new journals to appear on Google Scholar and for changes to existing content to show. Google Scholar advises it may take 6-9 months for changes to appear.

If your journal is not properly indexed contact your system administrator or Janeway support.

If you experience issues with the metadata, the first step is to compare the galleys against the meta-tags in the HTML for any mismatches.
