Struggling with Pending DOI Submission

Hi All,

I am getting an invalid namespace error however I try to submit. I am trying to follow the pending xml example as best I can but I am certain I am doing something wrong. Here is my latest XML submission (submission id = 1572216487)

<doi_batch xmlns=“https://www-crossref-org.ezproxy.csu.edu.au/schema/4.4.2” xmlns:xsi=“http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance” xmlns:fr=“https://www-crossref-org.ezproxy.csu.edu.au/fundref.xsd” xsi:schemaLocation=“https://www-crossref-org.ezproxy.csu.edu.au/schema/4.4.2 http://www.crossref.org.ezproxy.csu.edu.au/depositSchema/crossref4.4.2.xsd” version=“4.4.2”>

Hi @ajt_muse ,

I see a couple problems here. Here’s what I recommend instead:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The information in the header was the major issue, but you also need an acceptance date. I’ve used today in my example.

Here’s the XML file, if you’d like to use it:
pending_pub_example.xml (1.2 KB)

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions,
Isaac

Got it. Thank you for the quick response. It is working now.
