International Journal Address (IJA)

International Journal Address (IJA) is a permanent address to an scholarly online journal. The International Journal Address (IJA) is a modern article address. IJA is a fixed permanent international journal address which auto-finds the journal new address

IJA solves the following common problems of online journals:

Accessing Journal by IJA:

An IJA is a permanent address to an specific journal (example: IJA.zone/23633624786), the journal directly can be accessed simply by typing the IJA address in the internet browser. As example, find associated journal to this IJA: IJA.zone/23633624786 use following portal:

IJA Syntax Structure:

An IJA consisted of two parts, zone name separated by an slash from 11 digit article identification number: IJA.zone/11 digits. IJA is 22 length including zone name as following example: IJA.zone/23633624786:

According to the Advanced Science Index (ASI) standard, librarians should explicitly display IJA in the described format on online published journal. IJA cannot be any arbitrary number. It is a self-verifiable number by ASI-V3 algorithm. To check the validity of a IJA, IJA validator portal is used.

History of Development of IJA:

Uniform Resource Locator (URL) invented in 1989. Its drawback is that when the URL of an journal is broken, the reader cannot access the journal. To solve this problem, Direct Object Identifier (DOI) was introduced by DOI Foundation in the US in 1998. A DOI is an assigned fixed URL to an journal's actual URL. Thus, if the actual journal URL changes, the publisher should adjust the new URL of the journal to its DOI URL via publisher account, and if the publisher does not adjust the new URL to the Ajournal DOI URL, the DOI URL will not work. International journal Identification Number (IJA) was introduced on 2014 by Advanced Science Index (ASI) in Germany as a permanent URL to journal partly similar to DOI but with this difference that IJA address also keeps journal metadata on a separate server from journal server. If the actual journal URL is broken IJA server detects it and will load the only journal metadata instead with suggestions about possible new URLs of the journal. Also, the publisher does not need to adjust the new URL of journal manually, IJA server finds the new URL of the journal automatically and adjust it to its IJA address.
