SEIPID Workflow

How SEIPIDs Are Issued and Managed

Registration and Issuance Steps

SEIPID operates through a structured registration, review, and issuance workflow designed to support accountability, consistency, and traceability in identifier assignment.

Step 1 — User Account Registration

A journal manager, publisher, or institutional representative creates a SEIPID account. This establishes an identifiable system participant.

Step 2 — Registrant Verification

Basic identity validation of the user is conducted through automated checks and, where necessary, manual review. This ensures accountability and traceability within the registry.

Step 3 — Entity Registration

The verified user submits details of the journal, repository, publisher, or institutional unit intended to issue SEIPIDs. Required documentation and structural information are reviewed against registry criteria.

Step 4 — Entity Review & Activation

Submitted entities undergo validation. Once approved, the entity is activated within the SEIPID portal and becomes eligible to issue identifiers.

Step 5 — Plan Activation & Allocation

Activated entities select an appropriate issuance plan based on expected volume and operational needs. Identifier allocation limits are assigned according to the selected plan.

Step 6 — Metadata Submission & SEIPID Generation

Metadata records are submitted through the SEIPID portal. Upon successful validation, SEIPIDs are generated and assigned to the registered scholarly objects.

Step 7 — Metadata Updates & Corrections

Authorized entity managers may update metadata records through controlled revision mechanisms. All modifications are logged for audit and traceability.

Step 8 — Ongoing Registry Monitoring

Periodic checks ensure continued compliance with registry standards and metadata integrity requirements, preserving the credibility of issued identifiers.
