Really great to see this paper get published with our partner #JDIS after being reviewed at MetaROR!
The preprint went through open peer review on @metaror.bsky.social and was later published, after additional blind review rounds, in the partner Journal of Data and Information Science #JDIS a demanding but very useful experience doi.org/10.70744/Met... #OpenAccess #publishing #bibliometrics #GoldOA

It sounds like what you're searching for is a way to indicate a preprint has gone through MetaROR review vs. a preprint that hasn't. Putting some sort of graphic or stamp on the MetaROR formatted copy that indicates this would be enough to warrant a new DOI I think. Or update the exising DOI record.

Great thought-provoking post https://lnkd.in/eb4aWWh6 from Ludo Waltman and André Brasil on the challenges of assigning DOIs, and metadata more generally, for innovative types of publishing. This really reflects my own challenges working with metadata of this type at Research Consulting Limited. In a previous role overseeing the DataCite account for an institution, I came across similar challenges in deciding when to assign DOIs. Institutional repositories regularly hold versions of content which have been assigned DOIs elsewhere. I ended up concluding we should become okay with giving multiple DOIs to different versions of content (even if different meant "hosted elsewhere"). In avoiding assigning a DOI because one already exists, we compromise the discoverability of valuable content and create a two-tier system of content. Plus there is already good metadata available within the DOI system to indicate where items are versions of each other. However, to capitalise on this data use of versioning metadata needs to be consistent and reliable. Bibliometric systems need to be able to automatically identify alternate versions and allow records to be collapsed together for analysis. I'm not certain whether the challenge in doing this lies more in the productionn of the original DOI metadata or how it is used in bibliometric systems, but I would be really interested to hear from those with insights. Final thought: I'm personally a fan of when one organisation mints DOIs for multiple versions (i.e. all records have the same DOI prefix) and indicates version information within the DOI itself. If it was possible to make the existence of an alternative version transparent in DOIs regardless of which organisation minted it, that would would be my dream! But infinitely easier said than done, I realise. #scholarlycommunication #persistentidentifiers #PIDs

I think I agree with you in principle, Richard, but in practice we don't have generally accepted approaches for event tracking at the moment, while authors who choose to have their work peer-reviewed through MetaROR want me to offer them a solution right now. I therefore feel I need to be pragmatic.

I haven’t gone through the MetaROR process myself yet. Is the preprint hosted on MetaROR exactly the same as on the original server, or is there some difference that is applied? If I held them up side by side could I tell the difference?

🤔 musing here, so it's just a thought, but... if the publication is edited/revised in light of reviewer/editor comments, and hosted on MetaROR, then it would be appropriate to register a new DOI? (with metadata indicating the preprint DOI registered on preprint server, of course!)

Thanks Kathryn!
Journals do register new DOIs for articles that have already been published on a preprint server. What is your view on that? If we take the position that MetaROR should not register new DOIs for articles it peer reviews, then perhaps the same applies to journals?

I don't think there's a need to mint a new DOI in MetaROR. The enrichment is seen in the appearance of the new DOIs associated with the reviews and editorial comment. Those presumably link to the original preprint in their metadata, right?
Not all publications of type 'article' are peer reviewed.

Now that I've actually read the post, my opinions are:
1) Don't mint a new DOI until the actual content of the manuscript changes. Having it duplicated at MetaROR with supporting files isn't enough
2) Define a new type, such as "reviewed preprint"
