A DOI or repository link helps readers locate a work reliably. It does not, by itself, prove research quality, peer-review status or institutional recognition.
Identifiers support traceability
Stable links reduce the risk that a cited paper disappears when a website is reorganised.
Metadata should be complete
Title, author, date, journal or repository and publication status help readers understand what they are viewing.
Access is not evaluation
Open availability makes discovery easier, but the method and evidence still require critical reading.
Summaries should point back to the source
A discovery platform should help readers reach the original work rather than replace it.
