Metadata Manager (deprecated)

The Metadata Manager tool is in beta and contains many bugs. It’s being deprecated at the end of 2021. We recommend using the web deposit tool as an alternative, or the OJS plugin if your content is hosted on the OJS platform from PKP.

Metadata Manager (beta) offers a way to deposit and update metadata for journal articles for both single and multiple deposits.

Take a look at the Metadata Manager tutorial to get started.

Overview of the Metadata Manager workspace

Start from Metadata Manager, and log in using your Crossref account credentials.

You’ll now see your Metadata Manager workspace. This is where all deposits occur, both new deposits and updates to content you’ve already registered with Crossref. To return to this view at any time, click Home at the top of the screen.

Your workspace holds your list of publications, and it will be blank when you first log in. As you add the publications you want to manage to Metadata Manager, they’ll start collecting on this screen.

You can add new publications and edit existing publications you have previously submitted to our system from your workspace. You can also click into each publication and add or edit articles against them.
