Hi, we have successfully registered our journal articles with CrossRef using OJS 2.4.8.1. I went to update some metadata with Crossref plugin - Export articles - update and I noticed that while all the DOIs are registered and are at the same stage the articles have two different statuses some are ‘found’ and a small number are ‘completed’ - (most were found). I can’t find any information as to what the Status ‘found’ means, are you able to explain what this means? (I was under the impression that they were all completed).
Hi @Tuwpub
The Crossref processing cycle is like this: the XML is first submitted (status Submitted
). After that, it will be processed by the Crossref. If the processing failed, the status will be Failed
. Else, if everything went well the status will be Deposited
in OJS (= completed). After that it takes some time till the DOI is realy active and can be resolved (status Active
in OJS i.e. found). In earlier OJS versions Deposited
was Completed
, and Active
was Found
, I think. So the completed/deposited means almost finished, just a small step to active/found. Does this makes sense for what you see, for your situation?
I just wonder why do you see those older status names, but…
You can use the button “Check status” to update the status, e.g. for those completed/deposited to turn into active/found.
Best,

Thank you, it seems to make sense although we don’t have the ‘check status’ button for some reason. We’re in the process of moving over to OJS 3 so hopefully these details will sort themselves with the upgrade.
Thank you.
