Metadata and preservation

A DOI the moment it publishes

Every article gets a registered DOI at publication and a stable, permanent URL that never breaks under a redesign. A citation to an article here still resolves in ten years — that is the entire point of a DOI, and it is not optional here.

Built to be found, not just published

An article that indexers cannot parse has not really been published, whatever the PDF says. Every article ships with complete citation metadata baked into the page itself — not bolted on afterwards by a script — so Google Scholar, reference managers and indexing services read it correctly the first time.

• Highwire Press, PRISM and Dublin Core citation metadata on every article
• Schema.org structured data for search engines
• A registered DOI and a permanent, canonical URL
• Machine-readable sitemaps and RSS feeds, generated automatically per journal

A record that survives corrections

Published research is a record, and it is treated like one. A correction is versioned, not a silent overwrite — the original stays available and clearly marked, and the version history is public. A retraction states its reason instead of quietly vanishing an article.

Every issue is archived as a permanent, citable unit — its own table of contents, its own complete-issue PDF, findable years after the volume closes.

What this costs your editorial office

The publishing infrastructure — peer-review administration tooling, production, identifiers, distribution, long-term hosting — is ours to run; your editorial board keeps full control of scope, standards and every accept/reject decision. There is no reader paywall, ever, on anything published here.

Specific terms are worked out directly with the editorial office, because they depend on your journal's volume and current setup. Send the details below and we will tell you plainly what onboarding looks like.
