In an unprecedented move toward revolutionizing research accessibility and digital identification, Skills' Edge International Nexus University (SEINU), under the guidance of Expert Novice Group, proudly announces the launch of SEIPID SEI-1.0. The event is scheduled to go live tonight at 9 PM (American Time), marking a monumental leap forward in the world of academic publishing and research.


This launch is set to unveil the first operational version of SEIPID (Skills' Edge International Persistent Identifier), an innovative alternative to the widely used DOI (Digital Object Identifier). SEIPID is not just a technological advancement; it’s a vision brought to life by the collaborative efforts of SEINU and Expert Novice Group to democratize access to research and intellectual property globally.


A Word from the Visionaries

Raja Nasir (SEIPID Founder & Director), Founder and President of SEINU and Director & CEO of Expert Novice Group, expressed his immense excitement about the launch. 


“SEIPID SEI-1.0 is not just another identifier system; it’s a great revolution in how research and intellectual contributions are identified and accessed. This innovation will empower researchers worldwide, particularly those from underrepresented regions and disciplines. Tonight, we begin a new chapter in making knowledge universally accessible and impactful.”


Adding to the enthusiasm, Eesha Farzeen Khan, President of the Lexicon Labyrinth Society and a driving force behind SEINU’s projects, stated, 

“This launch signifies hope for the academic and research community. With SEIPID SEI-1.0, we are introducing an affordable, scalable, and inclusive tool that will change the landscape of research accessibility forever.”


SEIPID SEI-1.0: What It Offers

The SEIPID SEI-1.0 system brings with it an array of features and functionalities tailored to meet the evolving needs of researchers, institutions, publishers, and independent scholars. Here are the highlights of its design and application:

1. Advanced SEIPID String Structure

SEIPID String

The SEIPID String, as seen in the diagram, represents a sophisticated yet user-friendly framework for identifying research outputs. The components include:

  • Resolver Domain: The base URL that directs users to the SEIPID platform.
  • Unique Journal Registration ID: A unique identifier for each registered journal or entity.
  • Journal Abbreviation: A concise code representing the journal’s title.
  • Volume and Issue Indicators: Clear markers denoting the volume (e.g., v1, v2) and issue (e.g., n1, n2).
  • Article Indicators: Specific identifiers for articles within issues (e.g., a1 for Article 1).

This structure ensures seamless identification and retrieval of intellectual content, offering unparalleled transparency and reliability.


2. Subscription Plans

SEIPID SEI-1.0 is designed to be inclusive and cost-effective, with multiple subscription options:

  • Free Plan: Aimed at individuals and small organizations, this plan provides limited usage but ensures access to essential features.
  • Basic Annual Plan: An affordable subscription for researchers and small publishers.
  • Premium Plan: Comprehensive services for institutions, large publishers, and organizations.

The pricing structure underlines SEINU’s commitment to making research accessible without financial barriers.


3. User-Friendly Dashboard

With a focus on simplicity and functionality, the SEIPID SEI-1.0 dashboard allows users to:

  • From registration to generating SEIPID strings with minimal effort.
  • Manage metadata and track citations.
  • Integrate with popular citation platforms and databases.


4. Compatibility and Integration

SEIPID SEI-1.0 integrates seamlessly with existing databases and platforms, ensuring a smooth transition for users familiar with DOI systems. Its compatibility extends to:

  • Academic journals and publishers.
  • Institutional repositories.
  • Independent researchers and authors.


5. Scalability and Sustainability

Built on a cloud-based infrastructure, SEIPID SEI-1.0 offers scalability to meet the growing demands of the global research community while maintaining sustainability and efficiency.


Why SEIPID Matters

Persistent identifiers like DOI have long been a staple of academic publishing. However, their high costs and limited access have excluded many researchers and smaller institutions. SEIPID SEI-1.0 seeks to address these challenges by:

  • Reducing Costs: Offering affordable plans without compromising quality.
  • Enhancing Inclusivity: Providing access to underrepresented regions and disciplines.
  • Promoting Ethical Practices: Ensuring transparency and accountability in academic publishing.


The Road Ahead

The launch of SEIPID SEI-1.0 is only the beginning. SEINU and Expert Novice Group have ambitious plans for the future, including:

  • Continuous Upgrades: Incorporating user feedback to enhance functionality and usability.
  • Global Outreach: Expanding SEIPID’s reach through collaborations and partnerships.
  • Research and Development: Innovating to meet the evolving needs of the academic community.


Dr. Salma Razzaq, Chief Organizer of SEINU’s initiatives, emphasized, 

“SEIPID SEI-1.0 is not just a product; it’s a statement of our commitment to equity and innovation. By addressing the limitations of traditional systems, we are paving the way for a more inclusive and impactful research ecosystem.”
