Carol Anne Meyer will be at the Charleston Conference next week speaking at the Saturday Innovation Sessions about CrossMark.

CrossMark is the upcoming CrossRef service that will highlight the value of publisher-certified and maintained scholarly content.

Learn more about her session below.

End User Tools for Evaluating Scholarly Content
Location: Francis Marion, Bridgeview Room

Multiple versions of scholarly content (from author websites, institutional repositories, government archives, subject specific digital libraries, aggregator collections and publisher websites) make it difficult for users to locate the most recent
version of a document or to ascertain if the document has had any updates or even been retracted. This session describes
tools for end users to evaluate the content they come across to make sure they are citing the most authoritative version of
the content available. The presenter will use Poll Everywhere to engage the audience by showing examples of articles and
asking whether the audience can tell the current status of the documents. The audience will learn about the CrossMark
version of record service and the importance of educating users about how to locate current information.

A large portion of the Workshops day will be devoted to CrossRef staff discussing how things work on our end and what we expect from our members but we'd also like to hear from you.

* an overview of the processes and tools you use to deposit and/or query with CrossRef
* how DOIs are integrated into your editorial workflow
* how you manage and maintain your outbound links
* any special projects you have planned (or are planning) such as cited-by linking.

Presentations should be 10-15 minutes long, and we hope to generate some healthy discussion. If you are interested in participating, please contact Patricia Feeney (pfeeney@crossref.org)

Just to let you know about some upcoming opportunities to hear more about CrossCheck and the issues surrounding plagiarism in academic publishing.

At the Manuscript Central user meeting on Monday 20th April, Carol Meyer will be speaking alongside John Barrie, the CEO of our technology partner iParadigms. Their session, at the ScholarOne offices in Charlottesville VA, will cover CrossCheck and the iThenticate system, which is soon to be integrated into Manuscript Central.

On Tuesday May 5th I will be moderating a panel on plagiarism at the Council of Science Editors meeting in Pittsburgh. During the session we will be hearing from:

Harvey Markovitch from the Committee on Publication Ethics, who will talk about the COPE guidelines on dealing with plagiarism
Bernie Rous from the Association for Computing Machinery, who will discuss the ACM’s experiences with plagiarism, and why they are participating in CrossCheck
Harold “Skip” Garner, who has been leading the work at the University of Texas to establish levels of undetected plagiarism in PubMed content. Garner’s work has received coverage recently in both Nature and Science, and makes for very interesting reading.
Due to popular demand we are now running the “Introduction to CrossCheck” webinar on a monthly basis. You can see the available dates and sign up for the sessions on our website.

We look forward to seeing some of you in Charlottesville and Pittsburgh.
