PURCHASE DESCRIPTION/DELIVERY INFORMATION

PERSISTENT IDENTIFIERS (DIGITAL OBJECT IDENTIFIERS (DOIs)) FOR

TECHNICAL REPORTS

1. SCOPE.

The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) requires the procurement of an annual membership in CrossRef and establishment of DOIs for both legacy and new public technical reports. The DOIs are required for public access to DTIC’s Public Technical Reports. The DOIs ensure a persistent location and actionable identifier for DTIC’s online intellectual property and add value to DTIC’s electronic documents by providing a linking agreement with all publishers and providing inbound links from publisher’s cited sources. Because a DOI link is a persistent link unlike a URL, publishers and others who use CrossRef create reliable, persistent links in citations and database records.

Additionally, a single agreement with CrossRef serves as a linking agreement with all participating publishers, therefore avoiding the requirement to sign numerous bilateral linking agreements with publishers. There is a need for DTICs technical reports to have persistent identifiers that publishers would accept to put in journal article bibliographies when a technical report is cited, and to allow crawlers and citation indexes like Google Scholar to create bibliometrics on how important each document was in the field

2. QUANTITY AND DESCRIPTION.

To acquire these DOIs, DTIC will need to renew the annual membership with Publishers International Linking Association (PILA dba CrossRef). The annual membership must include up to 10,000 DOIs annually for new documents, and an excess of up to 10,000 legacy (pre-2021) documents in the first year.

3. DELIVERY.

The product is delivered electronically. The membership period of performance will be for five (5) years which includes one base year and four (4) option years.

Base Period: 01March 2022 – 28 February 2023 Option Period I: 01 March 2023 – 29 February 2024 Option Period II: 01 March 2024 – 28 February 2025 Option Period III: 01 March 2025 – 28 February 2026 Option Period IV: 01 March 2026 – 28 February 2027
