If you are interested in making use of this offer, please contact Louise van Heerden (SciELO SA Manager): louise@assaf.org.za.

The journal (editor & editorial board) will need to commit to the following:

• Assign a unique DOI to each new article published. 

• Have the DOI added to the pdf version of the article, by the layout editor, before being published. The final published article should contain the unique DOI.

• ASSAf will prepare an XML file with metadata for the new issue, and submit the metadata (incl. DOIs) to Crossref. This has to be done immediately on publication of the new issue.

ASSAf will pay the fee of $1.00 per article to Crossref, once the issue has been published.

ASSAf is also committed to pay the annual subscription fee of $275.00 per annum to Crossref for SciELO SA journals that cannot afford their own membership.
