Beyond Broken Links

Why SEIPID? Because Trust Should Be Built In

A persistent identifier should mean more than just "this link won't break." It should tell you: this content has been verified.

"URLs break. Platforms disappear. But a SEIPID carries something DOI doesn't: a proof that the journal behind it passed an integrity check."

In today's scholarly landscape, any content can get a DOI — regardless of quality, predatory practices, or ethical concerns. SEIPID flips this model. We don't just assign identifiers; we verify before we identify.

What a SEIPID Actually Resolves To
seipid.com/000:xijir:v1n1a1
✓ Verified Journal ALIF Pre-Index
Resolves to: Public metadata + integrity signals + current access link
Persistent by design, trustworthy by default
SEIPIDs don't just fix link rot. They fix trust rot. Each identifier carries metadata about the journal's integrity status — so readers know what they're citing isn't just accessible, but credible.
Public registry with integrity signals
Every SEIPID resolves to a rich public record: not just title and authors, but journal verification status, ethics statements, and transparent metadata — all auditable, all traceable.
Earned, not bought
A journal can't purchase a SEIPID. They earn it by passing ALIF Pre-Index — our basic integrity gate. This single principle transforms what a persistent identifier represents.
Governance you can trace
XRC (Xpertno Research Center) governs SEIPID with transparent policies, audit logs, and public benefit mission — not corporate shareholders. Every update, every validation, every record is accountable.
Built for small journals
Clear requirements, guided workflows, and human support — not just a payment portal.
One ecosystem, many outputs
Articles, datasets, conference papers, theses — all with unified identifiers + integrity context.
Growth, not just registration
SEIPID is the starting line. ALIF Index L1–L3 is the race toward excellence.
Integrity as infrastructure
We don't just assign IDs. We curate trust — because scholarship deserves it.

Why not only DOI?

DOI is a remarkable infrastructure — but it was designed for a different era. Today, scholarly publishing faces challenges that DOI alone cannot address: quality blindness, cost barriers, and exclusion of the Global South.

SEIPID isn't trying to replace DOI. We're building what DOI was never designed to be: an integrity-first, quality-gated identifier ecosystem for journals that take publishing seriously.

Designed for Real Workflows
Register → Verify → Submit Metadata → Generate SEIPID
Simple processes with clear responsibility and governance.
The SEIPID Way

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.

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

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.
