DOI stands for Digital Object Identifier （ D igital O bject I dentifier ） ,
and is the unique identifier for objects on the internet. It can be used to create persistent link and to cite articles.

Using DOI as a persistent link

To create a persistent link, add「http://dx.doi.org/」「 http://dx.doi.org/ 」 before a DOI.
For instance, if the DOI of an article is 10.5297/ser.1201.002 , you can link persistently to the article by entering the following link in your browser: http://dx.doi.org/ 10.5297/ser.1201.002 。
The DOI link will always direct you to the most updated article page no matter how the publisher changes the document's position, avoiding errors when engaging in important research.

Cite a document with DOI

When citing references, you should also cite the DOI if the article has one. If your citation guideline does not include DOIs, you may cite the DOI link.

DOIs allow accurate citations, improve academic contents connections, and allow users to gain better experience across different platforms. Currently, there are more than 70 million DOIs registered for academic contents. If you want to understand more about DOI, please visit airiti DOI Registration （ doi.airiti.com ）。

Data Source: Academic Citation Index (ACI)
As Taiwan's largest Citation Index, we currently have on record all Humanities, and Sociology journals that were published in Taiwan. The number of periodicals that are published on a regular basis total around 400 different types. If periodicals that were added to the collection but then halted are counted as well, the number of periodicals total over 500 types. Every year we announce the recorded periodicals' impact factor, etc. to the public, and allow scholars utilize our materials to carry out academic research for free.

Impact Factor: The statistic indicating the average number of times a journal's articles published in the past two years have been cited in the counting year.
Formula: (Number of cites in counting year to articles published in the span of two years ) ÷ (Number of articles published in the span of two years)
Example: The impact factor in 2010 (determined in 2011)
In 2009, Journal A published 15 articles, and these 15 articles were cited 20 times in 2010.
In 2008, Journal A published 16 articles, and these 16 articles were cited 30 times in 2010.
→ →2010's Impact Factor = (20+30) ÷ (15+16) = 1.61 =（20+30）÷（15+16）≒1.61

What is "Preprint"?

In order to provide readers the forefront academic information, after articles are accepted to publish in the journal, we publish them in network before they're printed. Those "on-line first articles" are called the "preprint articles". The preprint articles do not have volume No., page No., publication date, but can be identified by the DOI number. 「 http://dx.doi.org/ 」 Link to the latest version of the article.

How to cite Preprint Articles?

Please use the online publication date and the DOI number of the preprint article to cite the literature.

Cited example (may vary with different formats you cited):

Parallel Abstract 〈TOP〉

In recent years, business transactions over the Internet have become increasingly popular worldwide. A wide variety of business activities with extended applications of e-commerce have been carried out online such as information searches, product cataloguing, order placing, online auctions, and personal financial transactions. This technological advance has reshaped the world and created a new form of social interaction as consumers can easily sell or purchase goods via online commercial websites. In the context of Internet-based or online transactions, the buyer and seller are separated by time and space as the exchange of product and money will not occur simultaneously. Lacking face-to-face interaction increases anonymity and makes the detection of individual identity difficult in the virtual environment. As a result, consumers may perceive their actions as being undetectable and engage in unethical behavior during online transactions. However, the factors affecting consumer ethical decision-making processes within the Internet-based environment have not been thoroughly understood by business communities and relatively under-explored in past research by academics.
The purpose of this study is to develop a holistic model for consumers' ethical decision-making and to investigate the determinants influencing this decision-making process in the context of online auctions. The research framework in this study is developed based on the four-component model for individual ethical decision making and behavior by Rest (1986) and the issue-contingent model of marketing ethics by Jones (1991). The ethical decision-making process by online consumers in the proposed model includes three stages: (1) moral perception: consumers perceive the moral issues in ethical situations; (2) moral judgment: consumers make a moral judgment based on ethical principles; and (3) moral intention: consumers establish moral intent in their final action. The factors influencing individual ethical decisionmaking processes are examined from three aspects, i.e., the ethical issue itself-moral intensity, individual characteristics-moral philosophy, and technological features-anonymity. Jones (1991) indicates that the moral intensity is the extent of issue-related moral imperatives in a given situation, consisting of the magnitude of consequences, social consensus, probability of effect, temporal immediacy, proximity, and the concentration of effect. Moral philosophy is identified with two underlying dimensions, idealism and relativism (Forsyth, 1980). Anonymity is associated with deindividualization where the individual is lacking in self-awareness and self-evaluation and may perform socially unacceptable behavior (Singer, Brush and Lublin, 1965; Ziller, 1964; Zimbardo, 1970). The study develops hypotheses to be tested empirically based on the proposed consumer ethical-decision model in the context of online auction transactions.
Three ethical scenarios of online auction were developed and a total of 450 valid responses with survey questionnaire was collected and analyzed with various statistical techniques including ANOVA, correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis. The research results show six dimensions of moral intensity can be grouped into two latent factors, potential harm and social pressure, consistent with previous studies. Potential harm has a major influence on moral judgment and moral intention, and social pressure plays a more critical role in influencing moral perception and moral judgment. Next, the idealism of moral philosophy has a positive effect upon all three stages of the ethical decision-making process but the relativism has no significant impact. Finally, anonymity has a negative effect on moral intention when the influence of moral intensity is low. The implications of this study are as follows: firstly, three online auction scenarios can be extended to online ethical cases by businesses to promote consumer ethics in Internet-based transactions. Secondly, businesses may reinforce consumers' ethical perception of potential harm to others in order to increase ethical sensitivity by emphasizing the terms and conditions of online purchases. Thirdly, the moral philosophy of idealism should be promoted through ethical education. Lastly, the degree of perceived anonymity can be reduced through establishing credit rating mechanisms to increase consumers' ethical intentions. Understanding consumers' ethical decisions within the context of Internet-based transactions is important for those firms running online businesses to form better policies and regulations.
