Re: [jats-list] Versions of an article

[Bruce Rosenblum <bruce@xxxxxxxxx>]

Alf,

This isn't an answer to your question, but a comment about DOI. You 
should assign a DOI to a work, not a manifestation. If you assign a 
DOI to each version of an article, many applications will fail to 
link because you'll have multiple DOIs that have the same metadata. 
It's better to assign one DOI and then have the landing page show 
each version of the article.
