Book Publishers

Instruction for Book Publishers

Another commercial alternative might revolve around relationships with publishers. As publishers find that making the book available increases sales, they might be willing to support the project.

Doi is the official agency for researchers, scholarly and professional publications, including journals, books, and other content types. Doi provides primary publishers with the organizational and technological backbone to facilitate linking by associating DOIs with publisher metadata. There is no centralized repository of abstracts or full text involved. Membership is open to all in all content areas.

Doi is about helping publishers innovate through shared technology, to meet the demand for better access to published scholarship. You can count on affordable, reliable links; increased traffic to your publications; and the opportunity to join forces with other publishers dedicated to enhancing resource discovery.

The DOI, or digital online identifier, serves as a persistent, actionable identifier for intellectual property online. DOIs can be assigned at any level of granularity, and therefore provide publishers with an extensible platform for a variety of applications. DOI links don't break, even if a publisher needs to migrate publications from one system to another, or if the content moves from one publisher to another, the DOI never changes. This means that all the links to that content that have already been made still function. Hence, one key insight of the DOI model is persistence; the other is actionability. One click on a properly implemented DOI gets the reader to the location of the material they want.

Use the DOI to drive book sales. Whether they are published in print form only or they have been digitized, your books will benefit from being registered with a Doi. DOI provides you an extra points for the Internet bookselling platforms of your choice.

Doi is a cross-publisher linking network. With your publications registered in the Doi database and so many other publishers, organizations, aggregators, and libraries can able to link automatically to your content.

Link your e-books. For electronic books such as reference works, Doi facilitates internal linking of components and references, as well as providing durable hyperlinks from citations to any other participating publishers material.

Doi is run by publishers. As a member, you can have real input into the development of new collaborative technologies and the policies underlying this collaboration.

One annual fee covers all types of content. If you are already a Doi member depositing journal DOIs, there is no additional membership fee to register your books or conference proceedings.

Process for submitting digital books

The digital books you submit have to be either in PDF, DOC or HTML format with machine readable text. Please email the book to info@doi-ds.org with the following details:

Title, Author, Publisher, Subject, Language, Date of Publication and Number of Pages and your Email address. We will notify you when the book is published.
