What members can do...
• Refer to DOIs deposited with Crossref as “CrossRef DOIs”
• Maybe--Prepend a descriptive “http” prefix to every DOI displayed or printed.

5.4 DOI Usability
• DOIs should be as concise as possible, in consideration of human readability.
Thursday, November 12, 2009
5.4 DOI Usability
• Often, hierarichal DOIs are more usable.
• The use of separators like “.” or “-” helps
• Strings longer than 6 of arbitrary-looking numbers or letters interferes with usability, even if the DOI is structured.

6.3 The Response or Landing Page
• A minimal response page must contain
• a full bibliographic citation
• some mechanism by which the user can gain access to the full text
Thursday, November 12, 2009
7. Use and Display of DOIs
• a DOI should be displayed as (for example)doi:10.1006/jmbi.1998.2354
• and the DOI identi#er itself can be an active link as in http://dx.doi.org/10.1006/jmbi.1998.2354
Thursday, November 12, 2009
7.1 Resolution Via the DOI Proxy
• The DOI Proxy server - http://dx.doi.org/ - resolves DOIs. The DOI Proxy is the de#nitive resolution service for DOIs and should be used for all DOI links.
Thursday, November 12, 2009
7.3 Display of DOIs
• A DOI for a piece of content (article, book chapter, conference proceeding) should also be displayed in the header information for the online AND print versions of the content
Thursday, November 12, 2009
7.3.1 Displaying DOIs in print
• A DOI should be included in the header for the print version of that article.
• Recommend listing the DOI -- for example -- as "doi:10.1006/jmbi.1998.2354". It is possible to have the DOI followed by: "available via http://dx.doi.org/".
Thursday, November 12, 2009
7.3.2 DOIs in citations • DOIs are a very useful addition to citations.
• The DOI should be the last element in the citation irrespective of the format used.
• “doi:” should be lowercase with no space between “doi:” and the start of the DOI.
• Publisher-specific URLs should not be used in citations since they may break if the journal changes ownership.(CrossRef Reference Guidelines, http://www.crossref.org/08downloads/CrossRef_Ref_Guide_1_0.pdf )
Thursday, November 12, 2009
7.3.3 DOIs in citation export services
• Publishers should include DOIs in their Download Citation/Export References” services.
• DOIs should be included as an identifier and as the URL link using the “http://dx.doi.org” resolver address.
• The DOI should also be included as a key article identifier when such a field exists.http://www.crossref.org/02publishers/guidelines.html
Thursday, November 12, 2009
7.3.4 DOI as a reference link
• Use "CrossRef" as the display text for reference links.
Thursday, November 12, 2009
7.3.5 Instructions for Authors
• Publishers should include information about using DOIs in their instructions for authors.

Take Aways
• CrossRef DOIs aren’t just for publishers and geeks
• The more visible CrossRef DOIs are, the more likely your investment will result in traffic
• We’re considering simplifying the display guidelines--more later.
