Publishers, are you ready to ROR?

If you manage a publishing system or workflow, you know how crucial—and how challenging!—it is to have clean, consistent, and comprehensive affiliation metadata. Author affiliations, and the ability to link them to publications and other scholarly outputs, are vital for numerous stakeholders across the research landscape. Institutions need to monitor and measure their research output by the articles their researchers have published. Funders need to be able to discover and track the research and researchers they have supported.

Evolving our support for text-and-data mining

Many researchers want to carry out analysis and extraction of information from large sets of data, such as journal articles and other scholarly content. Methods such as screen-scraping are error-prone, place too much strain on content sites and may be unrepeatable or break if site layouts change. Providing researchers with automated access to the full-text content via DOIs and Crossref metadata reduces these problems, allowing for easy deduplication and reproducibility. Supporting text and data mining echoes our mission to make research outputs easy to find, cite, link, assess, and reuse.

Request for Community Comment: registering content before online availability

In Accepted ManuscriptsContent RegistrationDOIsPublishingRequest for Community Comment

Crossref is proposing a process to support the registration of content—including DOIs and other metadata—prior to that content being made available, or published, online. We’ve drafted a paper providing background on the reasons we want to support this and highlighting the use cases. One of the main needs is in journal publishing to support registration of Accepted Manuscripts immediately on or shortly after acceptance, and dealing with press embargoes.

Proposal doc for community comment

Proposal doc for community comment

We request community comment on the __proposed approach as outlined in this report.

Some examples of what we’d like to know:

  • Are you aware of the issues outlined in this proposal?
  • Are you aware of the funder and institutional requirements for authors to take action on acceptance of manuscripts for publication in journals?
  • Do you think the proposed solution and workflows are reasonable?
  • Are you likely to update your workflow to register content early?
  • If you are likely to update your workflow, how long do you estimate it will take?
  • Any other general comments, questions or feedback on anything raised in this document.

Please send comments, feedback and questions to me, Ginny, at feedback@crossref.org. The deadline for comments is February 4th. Thanks!
