DOI Management

Through the Thoth platform, users can generate Crossref DOI metadata deposit files directly from the catalogue. This freely available metadata export provides publishers with well-formatted Crossref-compliant XML output for their book and chapter metadata, which they can then use to register DOIs themselves. This self-service approach enables publishers to efficiently manage their DOI registrations without the need for external assistance, avoiding the hassle of onerous manual data submission via web forms.

Automatic DOI Registration

Next to the self-service provision of Crossref-compliant exports, Thoth has also established automated DOI registration and maintenance workflows to ensure that all changes to metadata in Thoth are automatically deposited in Crossref, alleviating the administrative burden associated with registering and updating DOIs. Thoth's commitment to facilitating connections with distributors and promoting infrastructural independence ensures that publishers can efficiently manage their DOI registrations, for both books and chapters.

👀 Automated DOI registration is included in the Thoth Obelisk, Sphinx, and Pyramid packages.
