I am updating references by Simple Text Query Form. I received the emails with CrossRef submission ID + Your Reference-Deposit.

I am checking my DOI in Web deposit there references are not updating.

Can i know how to update references for already designed DOI in my account ?

Hello,

If you add a reference list to the metadata record for a DOI using Simple Text Query, that reference list will be visible via our APIs.

Can you give me an example of a DOI that you’ve added references for? I’ll be happy to check on that.

Best,  
Shayn
