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):

Author name. Article name. Journal name. YYYY/MM/DD online publish in advance.

Parallel Abstract 〈TOP〉

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the major causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). Sometimes a patient infected with EV71 may suffer from serious neurological manifestations including encephalitis and poliomyelitis-like paralysis. Recently isolation of EV71 and small-scale epidemics of disease caused by EV 71 have been continuing to be reported in the Western Pacific Region (WPR). Taiwan had a major outbreak of this virus in the summer of 1998, when a total of 405 suspected cases of EV71 infection with acute complications were reported. Young children and newborns compose the high-risk group of the infection and often the hardest hit victims of such outbreaks. In this study, we took clinical specimens from our stock that had been collected, isolated and identified by the Tai an CDC and its contract laboratories as EV71 positive, analyzed them by a Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), follow ed by a genomic sequencing process by amplifying the VPI segments of the virus genome, and conducted a phylogenetic tree analysis. Our results concur with the theory that the same B and C subgenotypes of EV71 have been co-circulating throughout Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, and Taiwan over the past decade. We also found that the major subgenotype causing the 1998 Tai an epidemic v as C2, while the following five years between 1999 and 2003, the prevailing infections were caused by B4 subgenotype instead. It appears that the trend changed to yet another subgenotype C4 in 2004, which proved to be quite similar to the EV71 strain SHZH03-China which as circulating on Mainland China in the previous ear. There is a sequential homologous similarity of 97~99% among the various C4 isolates collected in Taiwan, and their average homologous similarity to SHZH03-China is 96.9%.
