Scientific Journals Expanding into CrossRef

Among scientific journals, Digital Object Identifiers (strings like "doi:10.1038/nnano...")  are appearing with increased frequency. They are assigned to electronic publications, such as the NVL's scholarly works, and are used to link among those publications in order to cross reference information.
