We are currently facing an issue with the DOI allocation for a book titled “Knowledge Management in Economy, Technology and Education” (ISBN 978-606-95516-0-8). The DOI assigned is incorrect. It was given as 10.57017/2023.SERITHA.KM-ETE, but the correct DOI should be https://0-doi-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/10.57017/SERITHA.2024.KM-ETE.
Could anyone guide us through the steps needed to correct this DOI assignment? Specifically, how do we properly update or reassign the DOI to reflect the accurate information for this publication?
We appreciate any advice or best practices regarding this matter.

Correcting book-title-level mistakes like this requires our intervention. I have modified the book title record in our system so you can send us the registration of DOI 10.57017/SERITHA.2024.KM-ETE. So, please register that correct DOI and let me know when that has been completed. We’ll want to alias that incorrect DOI (10.57017/2023.SERITHA.KM-ETE) to the correct DOI (10.57017/SERITHA.2024.KM-ETE) once the correct DOI has been registered.
Broadly speaking, to register a DOI for a book on the web deposit form, use the following steps:
Select the Book data type
Enter the Book-level on the first page of the form. At minimum this includes Book type, title, DOI, URL, Publisher, ISBN, and at least one (print or online) publication year
Select ‘Add Chapters’
On the second page of the form, enter the metadata for your first chapter (chapter title, authors, page numbers if available), the chapter DOI URL
Click ‘Add Another Chapter’
Continue to enter article metadata, DOIs, and URLs until you’ve entered all chapters for the given book.
Click ‘Finish’
Enter your username and password and click Login
Enter your email address and click ‘Deposit’
If you don’t want to register a separate DOI for each book chapter, you can skip steps 3 through 6.
