Digital Object Identifier
The Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is an Internetbased global naming and resolution system that provides persistent links for the precise identification, retrieval, and trading of digital items in the form of articles, books, images, bibliographies, supporting data, videos, charts, tables, audio, and other electronic files. A DOI is created from two components, a prefix (10.1000 and a suffix (123456) and together it is presented as 10.1000/123456). The prefix is an identifier for the publisher given to the publisher by the DOI system and the suffix is created by the publisher for identifying a specific publication.

Cited-by-Linking
A DOI makes it also possible for you, as an author, to discover how your publications are being cited and to include that information into your online publication. Linköping University Electronic Press (LiU E-Press), our journal host, is a member of CrossRef which provides the Cited-by Linking service. In order to make this work all new
volumes and issues are registered (including all the articles within
each new issue) and sent to the CrossRef database system.. CrossRef then
alerts us when an article at LiU E-Press is cited and we incorporate
that information into the cited article. Click on the DOI link above and see the citations after the headline Citations in CrossRef.
