Transferring titles

We enforce the concept of ownership for the content you register through us. If you ‘own’ a title, you are the member with permissions and responsibilities for creating metadata for that title. We control ownership using the DOI prefix. A single DOI prefix may be applied to a single title, a single publisher, or to a number of publishers (via a sponsoring member arrangement). This means that a member with prefix 10.
