Scholarly Infrastructure Needs a Reset
Current systems were built for a different world — one where quality was assumed. SEIPID introduces an integrity-first approach to scholarly identification and journal eligibility.
- Journal evaluation via Alif Index
- Metadata-based SEIPID issuance
- Public registry records (signals + status)
- Classification pathway L1–L3
The Old Way
DOI is expensive: membership fees + per-DOI costs, unaffordable for many.
The SEIPID Way
SEIPID is free or significantly cheaper — designed for affordability.
The Old Way
Other indexing has a single tier: you’re either in or out. Most journals stay invisible.
The SEIPID Way
Alif Index has layers: Pre-Index → L1 → L2 → L3 — a path for every journal.
The Old Way
Citation tracking is opaque and controlled by corporations.
The SEIPID Way
Citation-enabled indexing with transparent, integrity-led algorithms.
The Old Way
Fragmented systems: PID, indexing, citations — disconnected workflows.
The SEIPID Way
Integrated ecosystem: SEIPID + Alif Index + X-PEN ID (connected trust layer).
The Old Way
Global South journals remain invisible.
The SEIPID Way
Built for inclusive, integrity-led scholarship — because good research happens everywhere.
The Old Way
No pathway for improvement & no support for small journals.
The SEIPID Way
Progressive growth, mentorship, and support pathways for global journals.
SEIPID & ALIF Index — How the Ecosystem Works
Persistent Identification
Stable SEIPIDs that resolve to official public records for long-term citation and verification.
Public Registry Records
Each record stores trusted metadata and integrity signals in a consistent, traceable format.
Metadata-First Integrity
Structured metadata that supports discovery, archiving readiness, and clean scholarly linking.
Issued via ALIF Eligibility
SEIPIDs are enabled only after a journal passes ALIF Pre-Index and submits compliant metadata.
SEIPID — Verified Records, Stable IDs
SEIPID is the identifier and public registry layer governed by XRC. It assigns persistent identifiers and maintains stable, verifiable, citation-safe records for scholarly outputs.
SEIPIDs are not issued to random journals. A journal must first become eligible through ALIF Pre-Index, then submit article-level metadata for SEIPID generation.
ALIF Index — Journal Trust, Maturity & Recognition
Alif Index is the evaluation and classification framework under XRC governance. It screens journals for minimum compliance, governance integrity, and operational readiness. The first stage is ALIF Pre-Index—the mandatory entry gateway that authorises journals to use SEIPID services.
Higher ALIF levels (L1–L3) represent advanced classification and maturity pathways and awarded through additional evaluation criteria.
Minimum Integrity Gate
ALIF Pre-Index confirms baseline governance, transparency, and operational legitimacy before SEIPID issuance is enabled.
Global Visibility Signals
Structured evaluation signals help institutions, authors, and readers assess journal credibility and publishing maturity.
Growth Pathway (L1–L3)
Higher ALIF levels represent stronger performance, improved standards, and progression towards broader indexing readiness.
Trust + SEIPID Stability
ALIF evaluation protects the SEIPID registry by reducing metadata risk and improving long-term citation reliability.
Example: SEIPID in Action
Each SEIPID resolves to a public record that includes essential metadata, registry status, and reliable links—so readers, editors, and institutions can quickly confirm what they’re viewing.
The record can be updated without breaking citations, while the SEIPID remains stable as a long-term reference for the scholarly item.
- Public metadata record
- Registry status & signals
- Stable resolution link
