Identification

Every article and issue published in this journal is assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI) which can be cited in academic publication. The DOI can be found at the bottom of an article in the imprint section. DOIs provide current information about where an object can be found on the Internet. While the location of the object may change over time, its DOI will not change. We recommend that when DOIs are available, you include them for both print and electronic sources. All our DOIs are registered at CrossRef.

ECHO also encourages contributors to register for an Open Researcher and Contributor iD (ORCID iD). The ORCID ID provides a persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher and supports automated linkages between you and your professional activities ensuring that your work is recognised.
