Hello, Thank you for your post. If you already have a prefix with us then you can find and deposit DOIs through the [Web Deposit Form](https://www.crossref.org/webDeposit/). You can find out the fees involved with content registration here: [Fees - Crossref](https://www.crossref.org/fees/) If you do not have a prefix or account with Crossref then you would need to become a member with us to deposit the content. Do let me know if you don’t have an account and we can send you over details on how to apply. I hope this helps and if you have any further question or queries on this then please do not hesitate to contact us again. Many thanks, Paul ---

Thanks Paul! I do not have a prefix as yet. Could you be kind enough to send me a step by step guide to acquire membership first so I can send the DOIs later? Thanks ---

To obtain a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) for your journal, you typically need to register through a DOI Registration Agency. The most common DOI Registration Agency is Crossref. Here’s a general guide on how to obtain a DOI for your journal through Crossref: 1. **Create an Account:** - Visit the Crossref website: Crossref. - Create an account if you don’t have one. If you already have an account, log in. 1. **Deposit Metadata:** - After logging in, you’ll need to deposit metadata for your content. This includes information like titles, authors, publication dates, etc. - This can usually be done through the Crossref Metadata Manager. 1. **Pay the Fee:** - There is typically a fee associated with obtaining a DOI through Crossref. The fees can vary based on the type of content and your organization type. - You should be able to find information on current fees on the Crossref website or in the account management section. 1. **Complete the Deposit:** - Follow the steps provided on the Crossref website to complete the deposit process. ---

Hi, I just become a member and paid for my membership. I have a username to pay for my membership via credit card. I also have a different username to participate in this forum. When I login at Crossref in order to register content, which username do I use? Or do I have to apply for a separate username for the webiste? Also, how do I obtain a prefix for my journal? ---
