METADATA & DOI SUPPORT
Metadata is how your research gets found
Crossref registration, DOI assignment and deposit, reference linking, ORCID and funder data — prepared correctly, deposited on schedule and kept clean across your entire back catalogue.
Bad metadata is invisible until it costs you
Nobody notices a missing affiliation or a malformed deposit until a DOAJ application is rejected, an author complains their paper isn’t in Google Scholar, or a funder can’t verify a publication that acknowledged their grant. By then the problem is thousands of articles deep and years old.
Metadata is unglamorous, exacting work with a low tolerance for error. It’s also the single biggest determinant of whether your articles surface anywhere outside your own website. We handle it properly, and we clean up what’s already broken.
What we handle
Crossref registration & deposits
Member setup, prefix configuration, DOI assignment and deposits filed on schedule for every article, with failures caught and resolved rather than ignored.
Metadata preparation
Complete records — titles, abstracts, authors, affiliations, keywords, licences, dates — validated against Crossref schema before submission.
Reference linking
Cited references matched to their DOIs and deposited, so your articles participate properly in the citation graph.
ORCID & funder data
Author ORCID iDs captured, validated and deposited, with funding acknowledgements structured to the Open Funder Registry.
Back-catalogue cleanup
Historical articles audited, gaps filled, malformed records corrected and missing DOIs retro-assigned across your archive.
Ongoing monitoring
Deposit status checked continuously, with broken DOIs, failed submissions and metadata drift flagged and fixed before anyone else notices.
Also covered
JATS XML
Full-text article XML for PubMed Central, indexing services and harvesters.
OAI-PMH endpoints
A working harvest endpoint so aggregators and repositories can collect your content.
Similarity Check setup
Crossref’s plagiarism screening enabled and configured for your workflow.
Crossmark and licence metadata
Update status and licensing terms exposed correctly on every article.
Migration integrity
DOIs, URLs and metadata preserved and verified when you move platforms.
How it works
1
Metadata audit
We pull your existing Crossref records and site metadata, and report exactly what’s missing, malformed or never deposited. You keep the report either way.
2
Clean up and deposit
Historical records corrected, missing DOIs assigned, references linked and everything redeposited, with before-and-after figures.
3
Run it ongoing
New articles registered and deposited on publication, with continuous monitoring and a named contact when something breaks.
We deposit for our own journals every week
Amplionix operates its own peer-reviewed open access titles and files Crossref deposits as routine work, not as an occasional project. We’ve hit the schema errors, the duplicate-DOI problems and the reference-matching failures already — on our own records, at our own cost.

Cleanup quoted once, monitoring flat monthly
Back-catalogue cleanup is quoted as a one-off project scoped from the audit. Ongoing registration, deposits and monitoring run on a flat monthly plan. Crossref’s own membership and DOI fees are paid directly by you to Crossref — we never mark them up.
FAQ
Yes, and it should stay in your name. We manage the account on your behalf; we don’t hold your prefix.
Yes. Retro-assignment across a back catalogue is one of the most common projects we take on, and it’s usually the fastest visible win.
Usually schema errors, missing required fields or duplicate DOIs. The audit identifies which, and the report explains it in plain terms.
Correct metadata removes the most common reason journals are missed. Indexing is still Scholar’s decision, and anyone promising inclusion is overselling.
Good timing. Metadata integrity is easiest to protect before a move rather than reconstructed after one.
Start with the audit
We’ll check your existing Crossref records and send you a plain report of what’s missing or broken. No obligation, and the report is yours.
