Hi @asmecher,
I just searched the forums and read this: https://pkp.sfu.ca/support/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12469
I don’t suppose there has been any change since July 2014 - i.e. OJS DOI functionality has NOT been ported to OCS has it?
Just need to make sure before we use OJS to host a set of conference proceedings due to the availability of DOI functionality in OJS.
Many thanks,
Scott
Hi @ScottAbbott,
You’re correct, DOI support has not (yet) been ported to OCS.

Thanks for letting me know Alec.
All the best!

Hi Alec,
One other question:
Does OCS have the ability to provide download stats of conference papers?
So far we can only see:

And as you would know none of these reports provide download stats.
Many thanks for your help on this!
Scott
Hi @ScottAbbott,
For statistics in OCS, you’re best off setting up the Google Analytics or phpMyVisites plugins. I’d suggest Google Analytics. Both are included in the OCS distribution.

One final question Alec.
Re DOI’s in OCS. We have ticked the box in set up 2.5 here:

But in the OCS trial publication process there was no point at which I was given a chance to enter a DOI either manually nor automatically. There was no sign of DOIs in the trial paper’s metadata either.
How do I add a DOI in OCS after I have check 2.5 above?
Many thanks,
Scott
Hi @ScottAbbott,
Currently, those fields can only be set using the XML import process. This is a feature from OJS that isn’t particularly fleshed out in OCS.

Dear all,
any update on this topic?
Is there any chance to implement a DOI record inside OCS?
If it’s not possible to deposit the records through OCS, I would at least like to enter a new DOI record associated to every published paper that would turn up in presentations listing.
Kind regards,
Ivo
Hi @ihaladin,
At the moment, this is something you’d have to implement yourself – we’re currently not actively developing OCS. For the last published roadmap for OCS, see The Future of OCS, but note that we have not yet begun re-implementing OCS, and and are not confident about our current capacity to do so.

Hi @asmecher ,
Thank you for this info.
I’ll try to implement it myself in some basic way, but can’t wait to see OCS 3. 
Kind regards,
Ivo
Dear all,
just a quick followup if anyone is considering implementing DOI in their conference proceedings:
We have submitted DOI records manually for all papers in our 2018 conference, and since every DOI actually represents a PAPER ID in its record, I was able to simply alter my paper.tpl with the following code:
{if $conference->getId() == 5} <div id="doi"><p>DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.5592/CO/cetra.2018.{$paperId}">https://doi.org/10.5592/CO/cetra.2018.{$paperId}</a></p></div> {/if}
The IF clause is to remove this code in previous conference versions because we haven’t issued DOI-s for other conferences in our system.
The final result is here:
https://master.grad.hr/cetra/ocs/index.php/cetra5/cetra2018/paper/view/658
It’s not much, but maybe it can be of use to somebody.
Ivo
