Documents

Documents are the fundamental objects in Komodo Publications Planning and consist of metadata. A document can have many associated document versions, and each document version can have different metadata and a different internal or external file associated to it. Each document version also has a lifecycle, can enter workflows, and can be shared with users and groups of users.

Digital Object Identifier

A publication's Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is a unique ID that is generated when the article is published and made available electronically. The DOI makes it possible to pull metrics about the document into the document's details in the Komodo Publications Planning product. The DOI can be added to a document by editing the details and adding it to the DOI field on the Edit Document Details modal.

Note

Only the most recent document version will have the DOI. All previous version DOIs for that document will have a blank DOI.

Validation rules in the Document DOI

Administrators can create new documents without a DOI, create new documents with a unique DOI, or upload a new document to an existing Document DOI. The PP_DOI_Formatting validation rule on the Document Version (mvn__CM_Document_Version__c) object enforces proper DOI formatting so that the DOI is compatible with the Unpaywall and Digital Science integrations. The format requirements are as follows:

  • The DOI must be written as 10.xxxx/xxxxx

  • It cannot start with "http", "https", "DOI:", or "org"

  • It must begin with a number

  • It must include a forward slash (/)

  • It can be blank, but if not, the number must be unique

For example, 10.1007/00000 is an acceptable format. If there is a space in the format, it will be truncated to handle documents with duplicate DOIs. In this case, 10.1007/abc.123-2 - DOC-0000008 would be displayed as 10.1007/abc.123-2.

If these formatting requirements are not followed, compatibility issues with the Unpaywall and Digital Science integrations will occur.
