Pricing

Per journal. The audit is free.

Priced so that a sponsor with three thousand titles can do the arithmetic — and so that a publisher with one journal is not asked to pay for a platform.

Full DOI audit — one journal

₹2,500.00 per journal
$39.00 per journal outside India · GST extra in India

Every registered DOI checked live: dead addresses, missing abstracts, licences, ORCIDs, ISSN on the record, reference coverage, duplicates. Excel report and the sponsor sheet.

  • Every registered DOI followed live — not a sample — with the HTTP result of each.
  • Abstract, licence, ORCID, affiliation and ISSN checked on every record; reference coverage per article.
  • Duplicate articles and duplicate DOIs found across the journal's site.
  • Excel report with every DOI and what it needs, and the sponsor sheet in the sponsor's own column layout.
  • The same engine that runs DOI Doctor; results on the journal's DOI Doctor page.

DOI repair & monitoring — one journal, 12 months

₹7,500.00 per journal
$99.00 per journal outside India · GST extra in India

The audit, then the repairs through the DOI Doctor engine under the journal's own deposit authority: addresses, licences, metadata, reference lists; monthly re-check.

  • Everything in the full audit, then the repairs, batch by batch, under credentials you enter yourself: dead addresses re-pointed, licences added on their own (the record is not replaced), ISSN and abstracts deposited, reference lists parsed from the PDFs and deposited.
  • Every deposit read back from Crossref before it counts; a deposit that would drop an existing reference list is refused by the engine.
  • Monthly re-check for 12 months; a mail when something moves.
  • Nothing registered, nothing activated, nothing sent without a read-back.

Volume

Ordered together in one order: 10+ journals −20% · 50+ journals −35% · 100+ journals −50% · 200+ journals −60%. A sponsor or consortium lead orders once for the whole list.

Taxes and invoices

Prices in India are before GST; the tax invoice shows CGST+SGST or IGST by your state. Customers outside India are invoiced in USD as an export of services. Payment by card, UPI or net-banking through Razorpay, or by bank transfer with the invoice number as reference.
