Importing issues to OJS (using XML Plugin) - where to place keywords, references and DOIs?

Question

I try to import old issues of my university journal to OJS, using XML plugin. I built xml issue files:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE issue PUBLIC "-//PKP//OJS Articles and Issues XML//EN" "http://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/dtds/native.dtd">

<issue published="false" current="false">
<title>August 2008, Volume 3, Number A08</title>
<volume>3</volume>
<number>A08</number>
<year>2008</year>

And successfully imported them to OJS. However, I have a problem with keywords, DOIs and references. I don't know where to place them in my sample.xml file. Tags like <keywords>...</keywords> or <references>...</references> or <doi>...</doi> seem not to work, I mean they have no effect when I place them in my sample.xml file.

Any ideas how to solve it?

I've already checked the examples in /var/www/html/ojs/plugins/importexport/native, searched native.dtd file but can't find the solution...

The best documentation for import/export is: http://pkp.sfu.ca/wiki/index.php/Importing_and_Exporting_Data

Beyond that, to see what elements can be used, have a look at plugins/importexport/native/native.dtd. Alternately, you could also try exporting an article with the data you want to locate and see where it places it.

For keywords, use the <subject> element, e.g.:

<subject locale="en_US">mathematics, formal logic</subject>

For DOIs, use the <id> element, making sure to specify the type, e.g.:

<id type="doi">10.1234/t.v1i1.1-imp-test</id>

Citation import currently isn't supported using the native import/export plugin.
