SpringerLink edit

At http://www.springerlink.com/, references contain some DOI code which appears as somethink like ISSN. As example, "Psychopharmacology, Volume 175, Number 3, 353-359, DOI: 10.1007/s00213-004-1835-5". Do you know what this "DOI" means? --Bartoloměj (talk) 07:32, 29 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

OK, its Digital object identifier. --Bartoloměj (talk) 07:56, 29 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

DOIDOI (disambiguation)Digital object identifier is PTOPIC, clickstream shows >75% going there. CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE (please mention me on reply) 01:28, 24 June 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. – MaterialWorks 11:41, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Sounds reasonable. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 02:08, 24 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
Support. The difference by total page views isn't quite 15-fold but if including the "Doi (identifier)" redirect, in the past 3 years, it's still almost 3 times US DOI. I don't see how it comes anywhere close. I struggle to see how this might even be a competition in contemporary use, outside of maybe a few specific US states.

By the way @Clyde, do you know if there is any way of putting the template on top of Digital object identifier and maybe United States Department of the Interior as well, after the fact? I figure those pages do get many more viewers and watchers than this dab page. Alpha3031 (tc) 14:18, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
I decided to add a note on both of the talk pages. Alpha3031 (tc) 14:29, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose no clear primary topic. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:33, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
    @Headbomb about twice as many page views for Digital object identifier comes from Doi (identifier) as the full title itself, here is the same graph with that redirect included. Alpha3031 (tc) 14:46, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
    That is still far from clear dominance, which is typically well over 10:1. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:47, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
    I would interpret outgoing clicks being over 15:1 as clear dominance though. If one indicator is at least suggestive of PT1 on the contracted form, then a smaller differential on other indicators is still corroborative. Pageviews does not contradict the assertion that there is clear dominance. Alpha3031 (tc) 15:05, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Strong Oppose. No clear primary topic per Headbomb. Plus, in addition to how it could refer to the US Department of the Interior, DOI less commonly can be used to refer to the US Declaration of Independence (see [1], [2], [3]), the Department of Investigation (especially NYC), various Departments/Divisions of Insurance, or the Malta Department of Information (see [4]).
