International Paper Address (IPA)

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

IPA solves the following common problems of online papers:

Accessing Paper by IPA:

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

IPA Syntax Structure:

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

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

History of Development of IPA:

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