CrossRef, DOIs and Preparing for Future Assignment

Key Points

Using DOIs to link articles is essential for compliance with the PILA agreement, ensuring proper citation.
Whenever a journal article has a DOI, it must be cited correctly in any referencing, enhancing discoverability.
Without a DOI, there's no requirement to link to the article, indicating limitations in citation practices.
The PILA agreement mandates publishers to adhere to DOI linking, enhancing the interconnectedness of scholarly work.

Abstract

It is a fundamental part of the PILA agreement that is signed when a publisher joins CrossRef that they will link to other articles using their DOIs. So, for example, if I cite an article in a journal that has a DOI, I must ensure that I use that DOI. If it doesn't have a DOI, then I needn't link to the article using the DOI.
