Digital Object Identifier (DOI)

Overview

Every article published in the Journal of State Management is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI).

A DOI provides a permanent, persistent, and globally recognized identifier that enables reliable citation and long-term access to scholarly publications.

Unlike URLs, DOIs remain stable even if the location of an article changes.
Benefits of DOI

The DOI system:

Provides permanent article identification
Facilitates accurate citation
Supports metadata exchange

Enables reliable linking across scholarly databases
Supports citation tracking
Each DOI is registered before publication and remains permanently associated with the published Version of Record.
DOI Structure

A typical DOI assigned by JSM follows the format:

https://doi.org/10.59394/xxxx.xxxxx
Journal's DOI prefix

10.59394 is the Journal's DOI prefix; the suffix uniquely identifies the individual article.
DOIs should always be included when citing JSM articles.
