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.

Abstract 〈TOP〉

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the academic performance of physical therapy (PT) students admitted via different routes. Methods: Purposive sampling was adopted to include students admitted to the School and Graduate Institute of Physical Therapy at National Taiwan University from 2009 to 2013 through the College Multiple Entrance Program. The eligible students were allocated to 3 groups based on their admission routes. The graduation rates, grades for undergraduate courses, grade point averages and first-time license pass rates of the 3 groups were calculated for analysis. Results: Among 224 enrolled students, the graduation rate of students admitted via the examination-based route was lower than those of their peers. For graduates, no significant differences were noted among the 3 groups regarding grades for clinical practice courses or grade point averages, although students admitted via special routes had lower grades in most basic science courses. Most graduates obtained their PT licenses after completing one or more license examinations. The first-time license pass rate did not differ between students who undertook the application-based and examination-based routes. Conclusions: Regardless of admission route, students demonstrated comparable clinical performance after completing all pre-clinical-practice courses. This indicates that the college multiple entrance program did not have significant negative impacts on academic performance, except for students undertaking special routes who required assistance. Increasing the quota of students admitted via the application-based route is suggested for recruiting PT students because these students demonstrated similar academic performance but a higher graduation rate than their peers.
