In January 2026, USP plans to discontinue the use of “Current DocID,” “Previous DocID,” and “DOI ref” found at the bottom of the Documentary Standards pages in USP–NF/PF Online, Food Chemicals Codex, FCC Forum , and DSC Online products. This change is expected to be effective January 11, 2026.
With this change, users will no longer see the current and previous DocIDs or DOI ref as displayed. The DOI information will remain, if available.
Current view:
Future view:
USP recommends that the DOI be used for citation purposes. For additional information on how to cite USP Documentary Standards, please see the Referencing Guideline for Document Citations.
Should you have any questions about this change, please contact Marian Lydon (myh@usp.org).
