Every paper published through IndexedPub receives a permanent Crossref DOI with fully optimized metadata — ensuring lifelong traceability, citation tracking, ORCID linking, and discoverability across global databases.
A DOI is not just a link — it is the permanent identity of your research in the global scholarly record.
A Crossref DOI is a stable, permanent link to your paper. Unlike a URL that can change or break, a DOI resolves correctly regardless of where the journal moves its content — now or in 50 years.
Crossref's Cited-by service tracks every paper that cites your DOI, giving you real-time citation counts that feed into Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science profiles.
We deposit ORCID iDs for every author in the Crossref metadata record, creating a verified, machine-readable link between the paper and your researcher identity — no manual claiming required.
Embase, PubMed, Google Scholar, and all major research discovery platforms use DOI metadata to index and surface papers. Optimized metadata means your paper ranks higher in topic searches.
Promotion boards, universities, and funding agencies verify publications through DOI lookup. A Crossref DOI is the fastest, most trusted way to prove a paper exists and is genuine.
Research funding bodies including DBT, ICMR, and international equivalents require DOI registration for funded output reporting. Our metadata deposit includes full funder acknowledgement fields.
Final acceptance is confirmed after peer review and revision. Typesetting begins immediately.
Title, abstract, author list, ORCID iDs, funder details, and journal information are assembled for deposit.
Metadata is deposited with Crossref. The DOI is activated and resolves to the paper's permanent URL within hours.
Your DOI link is emailed to you alongside the publication confirmation and Certificate of Publication.
A Crossref DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is a permanent alphanumeric identifier assigned to a published article. It creates a stable link to your paper that never breaks, even if the journal website changes. Crossref is the official DOI registration agency for scholarly publishing.
DOI assignment happens within 24 to 48 hours of final acceptance and typesetting. The DOI link is live as soon as the paper is published online.
Yes. We include ORCID iDs for all contributing authors in the Crossref metadata deposit, creating a verified link between your ORCID profile and your published paper — automatically, without manual claiming on your end.
Yes. Crossref DOIs are permanent by design. Even if a journal moves platforms or ceases publication, the DOI continues to resolve through the Crossref DOI proxy system.
Yes. Most NMC promotion criteria, university PhD evaluation panels, and institutional research assessment frameworks require a DOI to verify a paper's existence, journal, and publication date. A Crossref DOI is the most widely accepted form of verification.
Submit your manuscript to IndexedPub and your paper will be published with a permanent Crossref DOI, ORCID linking, and optimized metadata — all included as standard.
