English abstract

The status of published literature can change at any time in its history following publication, although current existing structures in academic publishing, despite the existence of some robust tools – such as the digital object identifier (DOI) – to record those changes, appear to be insufficiently robust, or their use is inconsistent or inefficient, to deal with multiple corrections of the literature. In this paper, an information storage method and corrective measure or tool is proposed – the “publication history” – that considers the full history and background of a paper’s publication record. The “publication history” is adjusted to record changes to a paper over time, and is thus a “live” document, i.e., always open to modification and updating. In theory, the “publication history” would accommodate, in a single document (PDF and HTML formats), information about pre-publication (e.g., preprints) and post-publication events, including submission, resubmission, acceptance dates, handling editors, peer review format, corrections, expressions of concern and retractions. The “publication history” employs two DOIs, one for the paper and one for any and all edits, to document these changes. Our proposal offers one possible solution to fortify the integrity of peer review and the publication process pre- and post-peer review. The double DOI-based “publication history” can be applied to any document.
