Conflict report

The Conflict report includes information about conflicts that have been created by members.  Conflict details can be viewed by member as an XML file or by title as a simple .txt report. See the conflict resolution guide for help with evaluating and resolving your conflicts.

If you do not see your organization on the conflict report page, good job! You have no outstanding conflicts.

Conflict details by member (XML file)

For complete details about all your organization's conflicts, retrieve the XML file by clicking on its name (to the right of the member's name):

The XML file will list every conflict for the selected prefix, with details provided for each conflict, including the DOIs and basic metadata. Other information includes:

• conflict ID is the unique ID number for the conflict.
• cause ID is the deposit submission of the DOI causing the conflict.
• other ID is the deposit submission of the affected DOI.

Sample XML:

<conflict_report prefix="10.3201" date="Sep 20,2016">
     <conflict id="4532830" created="2013-09-09 15:26:11.0" causeID="1361422379" otherIDs="1360220986,">
     <doi_data>
       <doi>10.3201/eid.1811.121112</doi>
       <metadata>
         <journal_title>Emerging Infectious Diseases</journal_title>
         <volume>18</volume>
         <issue>11</issue>
         <first_page/>
         <year>2012</year>
         <article_title/>
       </metadata>
       <other_conflicts>
        <conflict id="4532830" status="N"/>
       </other_conflicts>
    </doi_data>
    <doi_data>
      <doi>10.3201/eid1811.121112</doi>
      <metadata/>
      <other_conflicts>
         <conflict id="4532830" status="N"/>
      </other_conflicts>
    </doi_data>
 </conflict>


Conflicts by title

You may also examine the conflicts for a particular publication by clicking on the title in the expanded view. This will display a text file such as the following:

where:

• ConfID is the unique ID number for the conflict.
• CauseID is the deposit submission of the DOI causing the conflict.
• OtherID is the deposit submission of the affected DOI.
• JT is the publication's title.
• MD is metadata for the DOIs.Metadata for DOIs in conflict will be the same.
• DOI is the DOI involved in the conflict.
• Parenthetical value following the DOI (in this case, 1686-null) lists all the conflicts in which the DOI is involved and the resolution status of that conflict.
• ALERT, if it appears, indicates that the DOIs have more than one conflict, which can occur if they were deposited repeatedly with the same metadata. This field lists the other conflict IDs and their status:
  • null – Not resolved
  • A – Made an alias
  • P – Made a prime
  • U – Resolved by a metadata update
  • R – Manually erased or resolved
