DOIs that resolve. Metadata that counts. Archives that hold. Authors that cite.
Indexing gets you listed. DOI Doctor keeps you there: it finds the silent failures — dead DOIs, missing abstracts and licences, an ISSN record with a typo, a hijacked clone of your journal — and repairs what can be repaired automatically, from the public registries your reviewers use.
Journal of Science and Technology → DOI Doctor
- 489 DOIs checked: 41 return 404 at Crossref's registered URL
- Repair: current article URLs sent to Crossref (a metadata deposit with the address as the only change)
- Metadata: abstracts + CC BY licence + ORCIDs re-deposited for 2024–2026
- Monitor: ISSN record title typo flagged; Portico preserved 2016–2025
Built around the problems publishers actually have
Each one previews first and acts only when you approve. No citation rings, no fake metrics, no bulk mailing — only what indexers reward.
DOI Doctor
Every DOI resolves; Crossref carries the current URL, abstract, licence and ORCIDs.
Backfile DOIs
Register DOIs for older articles that never had one — no per-DOI fees of ours.
Silent-failure monitor
Weekly checks of site, OAI-PMH, DOIs, Google Scholar tags, ISSN record, preservation, hijacked-journal lists — alerts before an indexer notices.
Health Card, metrics & badges
The public Journal Health Card — one dated page of what this journal has published, registered, preserved and been cited for, every figure beside the body that holds it — plus the metrics page and a "cited by" badge for article pages.
Quality dossier (PDF)
One PDF with audit, indexing proof, preservation, metrics and policies — for universities, authors and reviewers.
Author citation engine
Finds each article's authors and emails them the citation steps from the journal's own mailbox; tells them when they are cited.
JATS XML
Machine-readable JATS XML per article (front matter and references complete, body from the PDF text).
Write DOIs into OJS
Pushes the DOIs the census verified into your OJS article pages through the journal's own API — no opening articles one by one.
Journal Newsroom
Turns what the engine measures — a new article, a whole-number milestone, another hundred citations — into posts the journal approves in one press, published to its own site and its public Newsroom page.
Duplicate articles
Finds the same paper published twice — same DOI, same PDF, same abstract, same title — and the same title registered under two DOIs; you choose which copy stays.
Smart Deposit
A new DOI from what you already have — the PDF, the Word file, the article's page, its JATS XML or a spreadsheet: every value read, shown with its source, confirmed by you, deposited and confirmed at Crossref. Also adds funding, licences and full-text links to DOIs you already have.
Books & Proceedings
DOIs for what is not an article — books, chapters, conference proceedings, papers, theses and reports. Type one on screen, or upload a publisher's whole list; the deposit is built and shown to you before anything is registered.
Citation Integrity Watch
An article's reference list can become wrong years after it is published. This watches every work your articles cite for retractions, withdrawals and expressions of concern, and preserves the web sources they rely on before those die.
Indexing readiness
Every published Scopus and DOAJ criterion this engine can measure, measured from your own data, each one opening the rows that prove it — and what only a person can judge, named and left unjudged.
Reference link-rot & source preservation
Not every reference is a DOI. Reports, datasets and government pages are web addresses, and they die — and with them the evidence behind the claim. This checks every cited address and preserves the live ones at the Internet Archive before they go.
Preprints of your articles
Finds the preprint each published article grew from — at Crossref and OpenAlex: the same title, the same authors, posted before the article — and links the two at Crossref once you approve. Never by itself.
Journal Radar
Every day: the site, its SSL certificate, its DNS and redirects, robots.txt, OJS, your DOIs at doi.org, what Crossref holds of your metadata and the links on your home and archive pages — what broke since yesterday first, and Smart Scholars told the same day.
Same account, same journal profile
Sign in with your GetIndexed / Journal Audit account. Your journal profile, credentials and citation data are shared, so nothing is entered twice. Every service runs on our agent in the background and reports back on the journal's page.
Honest by design
- No citation exchange, coerced self-citation or paid citations
- No invented "impact factor"
- No mass mail-outs to libraries or authors
- No DOI or metadata sent to Crossref without your approval
