Every Paper Gets a Permanent EOI

A EOI (Digital Object Identifier) is a permanent, unique identifier assigned to your paper at publication. It ensures your research is permanently citable and accessible โ€” even if URLs change โ€” and is required by most academic citation systems worldwide.

Example EOI Format
10.11216/gsj.2026.3.XXXXX

Paper Accepted

After peer review acceptance, your paper enters the EOI registration queue automatically.

A unique EOI is assigned and registered with the global EOI foundation within 48 hours of publication.

3

Permanently Citable

Your EOI resolves to the stable paper URL forever โ€” include it in your CV, presentations, and references.

Why EOI Matters

How a EOI benefits your research career

Permanent Link

Unlike regular URLs, a EOI never breaks. It always resolves to the current location of your paper, even if the website changes.

Accepted in All Citation Managers

EOIs are natively supported by Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, and all major academic databases for seamless citation import.

Boosts Discoverability

Papers with EOIs rank higher in academic search engines and are more likely to be indexed by automated crawlers.

Proof of Publication

A EOI is internationally recognised proof of legitimate academic publication โ€” important for job applications, promotions, and grants.

Crossref & Metadata

Your EOI registers paper metadata (title, authors, abstract) with Crossref, making it automatically discoverable by aggregators worldwide.

Indexing FAQ

Common Questions

Everything authors ask about GSJ indexing, EOI, and open access.

GSJ is currently indexed in Google Scholar, EOI, Citefactor, ORCID, and 20+ other databases. Scopus and Web of Science indexing is a goal we are actively pursuing. Check our website for the most current list of indexing databases.
Most papers appear in Google Scholar within 24โ€“72 hours of publication. In some cases it may take up to 2 weeks for Google's crawler to index a new paper. You can speed this up by sharing your paper's URL on Google Scholar's manual submission form.
Yes. Every accepted and published GSJ paper receives a unique EOI (format: 10.11216/gsj.YEAR.ISSUE.PAPERID). The EOI is included in your acceptance email and printed on your publication certificate. It is registered with the global EOI foundation and resolves permanently.
Yes. GSJ is a fully open access journal. Every paper is immediately and permanently accessible to any reader worldwide at no charge โ€” no subscription, paywall, or institutional access required. This is guaranteed by our open access policy and cannot be changed after publication.
Yes. You can manually add your GSJ paper to your ORCID profile using the EOI. Once your paper's EOI is registered with Crossref, it may also appear in your ORCID profile automatically if you have enabled the Crossref auto-update feature in your ORCID settings.
GSJ's current impact factor is 4.1, as assessed by Citefactor. The impact factor reflects the average number of citations received by papers published in GSJ over the previous two years. A higher impact factor means your paper is more likely to be found and cited by other researchers.
No. Indexing, EOI assignment, and open access publication are all included in the standard publication fee. There are no additional charges for database submission, EOI registration, or issuing author certificates.
Yes. All GSJ papers are permanently hosted on our server at a stable URL tied to your EOI. The paper will never be removed, moved behind a paywall, or deleted. In the event of any server changes, EOI resolution ensures the paper remains accessible via the EOI link indefinitely.
