SIU Announces Major Milestone as U7Y Journal Joins Crossref with Official DOI Registration

Swiss International University (SIU) Celebrates Major Academic Milestone: U7Y Journal Secures Crossref Registration

Swiss International University (SIU), a member of the VBNN Smart Education Group, proudly announces a significant step forward in its global academic development. The university’s flagship research publication, Unveiling Seven Continents Yearbook Journal (U7Y Journal) – ISSN 3042-4399, is now officially registered with Crossref, one of the world’s most recognized scholarly infrastructure organizations.

This achievement reinforces SIU’s commitment to building a strong, internationally aligned research environment and reflects the university’s mission to support transparent, high-quality, and globally accessible academic publishing.


A Milestone Strengthening SIU’s Global Research Ecosystem

With its new Crossref registration, U7Y Journal now assigns a permanent Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to every published article under the official DOI prefix 10.65326. This ensures:

  • Global discoverability of research outputs

  • Reliable and traceable citations for scholars

  • Long-term digital preservation and accessibility

  • Higher academic visibility and indexing potential

For SIU, this represents more than a technical step—it is a structural investment in academic credibility, international research alignment, and future indexing prospects such as DOAJ and other reputable academic platforms.


Advancing Research Standards Across SIU’s Academic Network

As SIU expands its footprint across Zurich, Dubai, Bishkek/Osh, Riga, and London, the university continues strengthening its academic foundations through quality assurance, research standards, and scholarly integrity. The progress of U7Y Journal supports SIU’s broader goals, including:

  • Encouraging faculty and student research

  • Enhancing international collaboration

  • Providing a credible publishing platform aligned with global norms

  • Supporting SIU’s mission to promote Swiss-inspired quality in higher education

This milestone aligns with SIU’s vision of becoming a leading global hub for applied research, innovation, and interdisciplinary scholarship.


A Step Toward Greater Academic Influence

The Crossref registration is widely regarded as a major indicator of a journal’s professionalism, operational stability, and commitment to scholarly transparency. It also positions U7Y Journal—and SIU’s broader research community—for stronger academic impact.

Students, researchers, and academic partners can now benefit from:

  • Official DOIs for their publications

  • Increased exposure through global research databases

  • Improved citation tracking and academic recognition

U7Y Journal continues to operate as an independent, peer-reviewed, open-access academic platform under the VBNN Smart Education Group, reflecting SIU’s dedication to supporting academic freedom and high-quality scientific output.


A Message From SIU Leadership

SIU leadership emphasized that this achievement “demonstrates the university’s commitment to international academic standards and reinforces the credibility of its research ecosystem. The Crossref milestone brings SIU one step closer to expanding its global recognition and offering researchers a stronger academic platform.”
