A Persistent Identifier System for Scholarly Outputs

The Scholarly Entity International Persistent Identifier (SEIPID) System, governed and operated by Xpertno Research Center (XRC), assigns unique SEIPIDs to all scholarly outputs for consistent identification and citation across digital platforms.

Why SEIPID?

Research Links That Survive Website Failure

SEIPID is a metadata-resolvable persistent identifier assigned to scholarly digital outputs — built to keep research identifiable, citable, and discoverable across time.

Unlike redirect-only identifier systems, SEIPID preserves an independent metadata landing record that remains available even if a publisher’s website changes, goes offline, or disappears. This protects citation continuity and long-term discoverability without hosting the full-text content.

What We Provide
  • Stable, citable SEIPIDs for articles, datasets, theses, and more
  • Metadata-based issuance with structured records
  • Affordable identifier plans
  • Public registry + resolver infrastructure
The Old Way

Many journals worldwide remain invisible due to cost, unaffordability, and complexity.

The SEIPID Way

Affordable identifiers designed for inclusive, global scholarship.

The Old Way

Redirect-only resolution & Dead site = dead discovery

The SEIPID Way

Resolver + metadata fallback — discovery continues even if the site is offline

The Old Way

Minimal metadata stored for citation use only

The SEIPID Way

Rich metadata records: abstract, references, and structured bibliographic details.

Identifier Issuance Workflow

SEIPID Identifier Structure

Each SEIPID follows a structured identification format: [PREFIX]:[NAMESPACE]:[SUFFIX] — three segments, separated by colons, each serving a specific purpose in the identification chain.

This layered design supports journals, books, theses, conferences, datasets, and software — all within a single, stable identifier framework that's both machine-resolvable and human-recognizable.

Example only — format varies by registrant policy.

What Can Get a SEIPID?

SEIPID can be assigned to a wide range of scholarly outputs—beyond just journal articles.

Journal Articles

Research articles, reviews, editorials, short communications.

Books & Chapters

Monographs, edited volumes, book chapters and parts.

Theses & Dissertations

Institutional theses, dissertations, and supervised research.

Datasets

Research datasets with descriptive metadata and provenance.

Conference Papers

Proceedings papers, posters, abstracts, and presentations.

Reports & Working Papers

Technical reports, policy briefs, and institutional outputs.

Preprints

Early versions shared via preprint servers or repositories.

Multimedia & Learning Objects

Video lectures, research media, modules, and digital artefacts.

SEIPID preserves identity and metadata record. Full-text hosting remains with the publisher/repository unless authorised.

Find the official SEIPID record

A SEIPID consists of three components — a numeric prefix, a namespace, and a suffix — separated by colons (:). When prefixed with seipid.com/, the identifier becomes resolvable (e.g., https://seipid.com/010:xijir:v2n3a1). Accessing this link directs users to the current landing record associated with the identified object, or to a SEIPID-hosted metadata page if the original source is unavailable.
