Publishing a correction as a new version and DOIs

Hello! I am now running OJS 3.3.0.15.
I have a correction to make to an already published article, which will require a new DOI.
If I use the “Create New Version” feature on the currently published article, does it allow me the ability to upload the corrected article with a new DOI being generated? I read through the documentation at https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/learning-ojs/3.3/ but I’m not clear on whether a new DOI is generated on the secondary version or if the secondary version uses the same DOI as the original article? In which case, I may want to just upload the new corrected version as a new article?

Thank you!

Hi @hxo82,

This shouldn’t generate a new DOI. New versions of published works typically just subsume the existing DOI. But you will have to update the DOI registration in the plugin.
