Citing articles in Light: Science & Applications
LSA uses the digital object identifier (DOI) as the primary means to identify papers, instead of the more traditional Volume / Issue / Consecutive page numbers. The DOI is an international, public, "persistent identifier of intellectual property entities" in the form of a combination of numbers and letters. For NPG content the DOI is assigned to an item of editorial content, providing a unique and persistent identifier for that item. The DOI system is administered by the International DOI Foundation, a not-for-profit organization. CrossRef, a not-for-profit organization, makes the DOI a reference linking standard and enables cross-publisher linking. It also maintains the lookup system for DOIs. NPG is a founding, and board, member of CrossRef.
To cite articles in LSA, you can give the paper's DOI at the end of the citation. For example, Light: Science & Applications papers should be cited in the form as specified by a journal or for example: Author(s) (Year) Article Title Light: Science & Applications, page(s); (DOI 10.1038/lsa.YEAR.XXX).
For your background information, the DOI has two components, a prefix (before the slash) and a suffix (after the slash). The prefix is a DOI resolver server identifier (10) and a unique identifier assigned to the publisher; for example, the identifier for NPG is 1038 and the entire DOI prefix for an article published by NPG is 10.1038. The suffix is an arbitrary number provided by the publisher; it can be composed of numbers and/or letters and does not necessarily have any systematic significance. Each DOI is registered in a central resolution database that associates it with one or more corresponding web locations (URLs).

Benefits of publishing with LSA
Light: Science & Applications (LSA) is committed to publishing high quality, independently peer-reviewed research and review material.
The journal is published in partnership with Nature Publishing Group (NPG), which uses pioneering technologies, innovative formats and world class production to provide premium information for scientific researchers in the public and private sectors, government agencies and educators.
A key strength of NPG is its close relationship with the scientific community. Working closely with scientists, listening to what they say, and always placing emphasis on quality rather than quantity, has made NPG the leading scientific publisher at finding innovative solutions to scientists' information needs, both for the Nature-branded publications and those published on behalf of society partners, including CIOMP.
Publishing with Light: Science & Applications and NPG provides an author with a wide range of benefits:
Open access
As an open access journal, Light: Science & Applications content is freely available to all researchers worldwide ensuring maximum dissemination. Content is published online on a weekly basis to provide timely communication to the community and keep publication times to a minimum.
