DOI (Crossref) System Launch Announcement
Journal of Local Governance and Innovation
We would like to announce that the journal will begin using DOI (Digital Object Identifier) codes via the Crossref system for all articles from "Year 9, Issue 3 (2025)" onwards.
The implementation of the DOI system elevates journal quality to meet international standards.
It supports assessments based on the 2025 Office of the Higher Education Commission (OHEC) criteria,
supports traceability,
maintains article permanence,
and enhances academic transparency.

Purpose of DOI (Crossref) Usage:
It supports the 2025 Office of the Higher Education Commission (OHEC) Academic Rank Assessment Criteria,
enables articles to be verified in an international database (Crossref Metadata),
enhances the credibility of articles and journals,

This is an important foundation for future DOAJ/ACI/Scopus upgrades.
