Hi,
I need a little guidance, SSBRJâs second issue is ready. However, want to assign the DOI so how do we do that. If I can have some guidance or video to assist. Last time we did in March 2025 so It is a little while. Please guide through.
Regards,

Hello @adnan ,
Thanks for your message, and welcome to our Community Forum. I can see that back in March your submission https://doi.crossref.org/servlet/submissionAdmin?sf=detail&submissionID=1680415954 used our web deposit form. I am including step-by-step instructions for registering your journal articles using our web deposit form, like you did in March.
Your journal DOI is 10.63329/av3nz123. You should use that journal DOI again with these submissions.
My best,
Isaac
Registering your journal articles using the web deposit form
Broadly speaking, assuming you have recently published a new issue of your journal and you want to register DOIs for all articles in the issue, the steps to take to use the web deposit form are:
- Select the Journal data type
- Enter the Journal and Issue level metadata on the first page of the form. At minimum this includes: Journal title, abbreviated journal title, ISSN(s), and at least one publication year (print or online). If applicable, also enter issue number, volume number, and full publication dates.
[Journal DOI and Issue DOI are optional. If you donât wish to deposit Journal-level and Issue-level DOIs, simply leave these fields as well as Journal URL and Issue URL empty. Keep in mind that, if you do deposit a Journal DOI, it refers to the journal as a whole, and therefore cannot change in future deposits] - Select âAdd Articlesâ
- On the second page of the form, enter the metadata for your first article (article title, authors, page numbers if available), the article DOI, and article URL
- Click âAdd Another Articleâ
- Continue to enter article metadata, DOIs, and URLs until youâve entered all articles for the given issue.
- Click âFinishâ
- Enter your username and password and click Login
- Enter your email address and click âDepositâ
We also have a web deposit form video tutorial and full instructions for using the web deposit form in our documentation.
