Information
A Note on DOI
Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) have now been provided for all articles in all publically available issues of Cytologia, from the inaugural issue onwards.
You can view the covers of all archived issues of Cytologia by clicking on the ‘Archive 2’ link on the Japan Mendel Society homepage. Click a cover to view an enlarged version. Above this enlarged version you will see three links: ‘On the Cover’, ‘Content’ or ‘Archive’. Click on ‘Archive’ to access the contents page for the relevant Cytologia issue on the J-STAGE website.
This page will give the titles of each paper in the issue. Click on the relevant title to display the paper abstract and additional information. The yellow banner at the top of the abstract title indicates the relevant volume and issue of Cytologia, and the page numbers of the paper, while the relevant URL, including the DOI, is shown to the left below the yellow banner.
For example, in http://dx.doi.org/10.1508/cytologia.76.111, 10.1508 indicates the unique DOI code for Cytologia, while 76.111 indicates that the relevant paper is on page 111 of volume 76 of Cytologia. The DOI for this paper will therefore be as follows:
DOI: 10.1508/cytologia.76.111
Similarly, page 119 of volume 76 of Cytologia can be accessed via the following URL, which will allow the reader to access the required paper via the J-STAGE website:
http://dx.doi.org/10.1508/cytologia.76.119
Please note although that DOI codes are generated automatically, the DOI code can only be used to access the relevant paper on the internet around 6-12 months after the relevant volume has been published.
