I think the CrossRef system is really useful, and I'm trying to interest the biodiverisity informatics community in DOIs, so I get a bit stroppy when they break.Roderic Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00269598293846172649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16081779.post-44648280587471376832007-05-10T21:10:00.000+01:002007-05-10T21:10:00.000+01:00Professor Page, thank you very much for bringing t...Professor Page, thank you very much for bringing this issue to our attention. Our technical staff have done a bit of investigation to identify the problem. <BR/><BR/>After querying the CrossRef system, we have verified that some of the identifiers that BioOne has posted with articles for this title are not currently registered DOIs, though they are labeled as such on the BioOne web site. BioOne may have plans to register the DOIs for these other titles at a later date. In this case, an attempt to register a DOI for an already registered title would initiate a conflict report to JSTOR. In that situation, we would work with the publisher to determine the appropriate primary version of the article. <BR/><BR/>In the meantime, we will pursue this issue with the Crossref Technical Working Group, and will encourage correction of this problem on the BioOne site. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have further questions.<BR/><BR/>Kristen Garlock<BR/>JSTOR User Services<BR/>support@jstor.orgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16081779.post-923107110965494902007-05-08T18:33:00.000+01:002007-05-08T18:33:00.000+01:00Well, yes, DOIs are meant to be persistent.

Some providers seem more prone to this than others. BioOne and InformaWorld seem particulary bad, in my experience.Roderic Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00269598293846172649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16081779.post-18471377710901987742007-05-08T18:22:00.000+01:002007-05-08T18:22:00.000+01:00DOIs that don't work seem to me a much bigger prob...DOIs that don't work seem to me a much bigger problem than DOIs that refer to different copies of the same paper. Because I thought the whole point of DOIs was that they were supposed to work more reliably and permanently than URLs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
