Registering For DOR

Accredited journals are invited to register for DOR via https://dor.isc.ac and complete the form “Sign Up”. An email will automatically be sent to the e-address provided by the user following the completion of the form. This email contains a link to confirm the registration process. Once the user confirms the registration, the ISC staff will review the data to finalize the registration process. Users will gain access to DOR following this step.

Accordingly, if you already have a username and password for ISC Fast XML Uploading System, there is no need to register again for DOR.
