ABSTRACT

A uniform digital identifier (UDI) is presented for scientific manuscripts from editorial receipt through bibliographic citation. The UDI replaces conventional pagination and allows citing the manuscript upon acceptance, remaining as article’s metadata after the assignation of bibliographic information (year, volume and issue). It provides explicit information on the journal, type of article, manuscript editorial ID code, acceptance date, and, if peer-reviewed (i.e., original research) the period in months of that process. Additionally, the language of publication can be added as ISO 639-1. Significantly, it provides uniform tracking of manuscripts from submission, functioning as locator for all the article versions, and increases the explicit information on editorial processing provided when citing the article in bibliographic references. The last one will favor the bibliometric analysis of editorial peer-review directly from reference lists, adding value to them and also to bibliographic database metadata.
