You are Crossref on Crossref

For editors

Rachael Lammey — Wed, 18 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Your decisions influence what research is communicated and how. Demonstrate your editorial integrity with tools that help you assess a paper’s originality, and properly label and connect updates, corrections, and retractions.

Get discovered

Using our services provides a way for editors to maximize the discoverability of the content they publish.

Registering DOIs and metadata with us means that content can be found and used alongside that of our members. We also ask our members to link their references using the DOI as this makes sure that content will be linked persistently to the work it cites, so that links to your publications won’t deprecate over time and readers can find them long-term. You can encourage your authors to add DOIs to the reference lists of the papers they submit to you, and we have tools to help with that.

Other things that will help your content get discovered include collecting information on who funded the research behind the content you publish and the ORCID iDs of your authors, so that it can be found by readers searching on those criteria too. If you collect that information, make sure it’s being deposited with Crossref so that it can be used. Not sure if that’s the case? Let us know.

Integrity and ethics

As an editor, we know you’re on the front-line to ensure the quality and integrity of what you publish. We provide the Similarity Check service which gives members a tool to help editors and publishers ensure that work is original (and references other work properly) by checking it against a growing database of academic publications and general web content. Questions about Similarity Check? Get in touch.

Even with thorough processes in place, changes may happen to a work after it has been published which may affect how it should be interpreted or credited. Perhaps some supplementary information has been added or the work needs to be corrected or retracted. It’s important that your readers know these changes have happened to research they want to read or cite. Crossmark provides a way to communicate this information in a standard way across publishers so that researchers don’t miss it (even on a PDF), and also gives you a way to showcase additional publication information e.g. funding, license and peer review details.

Crossref Text and Data Mining Services Simplify Researcher Access

29 May 2014, Boston, MA – Crossref Text and Data Mining services, allowing publishers to provide information that will simplify access arrangements for researchers who desire to mine and analyze scholarly publisher sites, is now available to Crossref Members. Crossref, a not-for-profit association of worldwide scholarly publishers, made the announcement at the Society for Scholarly Publishing Annual Meeting here today.

Publishers participating in Crossref Text and Data Mining services may now deposit full-text links in the metadata for their DOIs, as well as license URIs by which researchers can determine whether they have permission to mine a particular content item. Through Crossref’s Application Programming Interface (API), researchers will then to be able to access the full-text, Crossref DOI–identified content across participating publishers’ sites, regardless of their access models.

For all publishers, whether using open access or subscription business models, Crossref Text and Data Mining services easily direct researchers to the appropriate location of the full text content and licenses for that content. In addition, publishers can add download rate limits to the information they provide to minimize any impact of text and data mining activities on web site performance.

“Crossref Text and Data Mining services extend the infrastructure for publications data to make the process of locating content for text and data mining easier and more consistent across publishers,” commented Crossref Product Manager Rachael Lammey “This common system for text and data mining benefits publishers and researchers alike, enhancing collaboration in scholarly communications.”

The launch of Crossref Text and Data Mining services follows a successful pilot. Charter participants include the following organizations:

American Institute of Physics	Hindawi	Taylor & Francis
American Physical Society (APS)	Hindawi	Institute of Physics (IOP)
Elsevier	PLOS	Wiley
HighWire Press	Springer

An optional part of Crossref Text and Data Mining services will allow a publisher to provide a click-through agreement if that publisher requires the researcher to agree to supplementary license terms before accessing content for text and data mining. For publishers whose general licenses already include permission for text and data mining, the click-through service will not be necessary. Crossref Text and Data Mining Services are provided at no cost to researchers, and at no cost to publishers during the first year of operation.

More information on Crossref Text and Data Mining services is available at http://www.crossref.org/tdm/index.html.

Crossref and DataCite announce new initiative to accelerate the adoption of DOIs for data publication and citation

10 November 2014, Oxford, UK – In 2014 DataCite celebrates its fifth year of operation and Crossref its fifteenth. Together we have registered almost 75 million DOIs. Today the two organisations are committing to accelerate the adoption of DOIs for data publication and citation.

Data are essential building blocks of scholarship and research in the sciences, medicine, technology, social sciences, and humanities. DataCite and Crossref will work together to ensure that researchers can seamlessly navigate among all research results including articles and data and to make data a first class, identifiable, referenceable, and citable element in the scholarly record.

DataCite and Crossref have agreed to collaborate to:

Enhance the interoperability of their respective systems in order to make it easier for publishers, data centres, libraries and third parties to integrate with the scholarly DOI ecosystem.
Provide comprehensive support for interlinking between articles and data.
Develop open APIs and open source tools to surface citations and other relationships between publications and data sets.
Integrate into their services other existing scholarly communications initiatives such as ORCID and Crossref’s FundRef.
Develop systems, workflows and best practices for using DOIs to reference large, highly granular and dynamic data.

Geoffrey Bilder, Crossref’s Director of Strategic Initiatives, said “Nobody in the scholarly communications community can have failed to notice the surge in interest in data publication and the widespread desire to link publications to their underlying data. About once a month we are invited to participate in yet another conference, workshop or initiative to address the issues around data and data citation. This is a fast moving area, and in order to meet the needs of researchers and our respective memberships, we need to make sure that Crossref and DataCite are working together closely, quickly and efficiently.”

Adam Farquhar, President of DataCite, says “Collectively, DataCite and Crossref manage nearly 75 million DOIs that identify critical research objects in the scholarly record. It is vital to the DOI ecosystem to ensure our systems are interoperable and that we make the most efficient use of our resources through collaboration and sharing. This is particularly true as we try to meet the requirements raised in the fast-moving community that is focused on data publication, citation, and reuse.”

About Datacite
DataCite (www.datacite.org) is a global consortium that assigns persistent identifiers to research data. DataCite makes research better by enabling people to find, share, use, and cite data. DataCite is a leading global membership organization that engages with stakeholders including researchers, scholars, data centers, libraries, publishers, and funders through advocacy, guidance and services.

The Public Knowledge Project and Crossref Collaborate to Improve Services for Publishers using Open Journal Systems

2 October 2014, Lynnfield, MA, USA and Vancouver, BC, Canada – Crossref and the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) are collaborating to help publishers and journals using the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform take better advantage of Crossref services.

The collaboration involves an institutional arrangement between Crossref and PKP, and new software features. Features include an improved Crossref plugin for OJS that will automate Digital Object Identifier (DOI) deposits, as well as plans to create new tools for extracting references from submissions. To facilitate Crossref membership, PKP has also become a Crossref Sponsoring Entity, which will allow OJS-based publishers to join Crossref through PKP.

The latest release of OJS version 2.4.5 includes a new Crossref plugin with improved support for Crossref deposits, the process by which Crossref member publishers can assign DOIs (persistent, actionable identifiers) to their content. A Crossref deposit includes the bibliographic metadata about an article or other scholarly document, the current URL of the item, and the DOI. Publishers need only update the URL at Crossref if the content’s web address changes. The cited DOI will automatically direct readers to the current URL.

OJS 2.4.5 includes several general improvements that benefit Crossref members directly and indirectly. First, OJS now allows for automatic deposits to the Crossref service – manually uploading data via Crossref’s web interface is no longer necessary. Second, users of the plugin will be able to deposit Open Researcher and Contributor Identifiers (ORCIDs), which OJS can now accept during the author registration and article submission processes.

Additionally, this release also allows OJS publishers to more easily participate in the LOCKSS archiving service of their choice (including the forthcoming PKP PLN Service).

Finally, this new release will serve as the foundation for further integration of other Crossref features and services, such as the deposit of FundRef funding data, and the Crossmark publication record service.

“The release of OJS 2.4.5 signals a new strategic direction for PKP in the provision of enhanced publishing services, such as the new Crossref plugin,” said Brian Owen, Managing Director of PKP. “Our collaboration with Crossref has enabled us to move up the development of features that our publishers have been asking for. The partnership doesn’t end here, either. We’re looking forward to supporting publishers more directly now that we are a Sponsoring Entity and to jointly develop tools that will make it easier for publishers to comply with Crossref’s outbound reference linking requirements.”

Crossref Executive Director Ed Pentz noted, “The profile of Crossref’s member publishers has changed significantly over the years. We are growing by hundreds of members each year. Many of these publishers are small institution-based journals from around the world. And many are hosted by the open source OJS software. It has been challenging for some of these organizations to meet our membership obligations like outbound reference linking and arranging for long-term archiving. And many have not been able to participate in newer services, because they require the ability to deposit additional metadata. We want all of our publishers to have a level playing field, regardless of their size. Our cooperation with PKP will help make that happen.”

Journals and publishers that use OJS and that already have established a direct relationship with Crossref, or those that have an interest in becoming members through PKP, may take advantage of the enhanced features in the new Crossref plugin by upgrading to OJS 2.4.5. And starting now, eligible journals can apply for a PKP-sponsored Crossref membership for free DOI support. See PKP’s Crossref page for more information.

About PKP The Public Knowledge Project was established in 1998 at the University of British Columbia. Since that time PKP has expanded and evolved into an international and virtual operation with two institutional anchors at Stanford University (http://www.stanford.edu/) and Simon Fraser University Library (http://www.lib.sfu.ca/). OJS is open source software made freely available to journals worldwide for the purpose of making open access publishing a viable option for more journals, as open access can increase a journal’s readership as well as its contribution to the public good on a global scale. More information about PKP and its software and services is available at pkp.sfu.ca.

Crossref and California Digital Library Agreement Extends Discoverability of Scholarly Publications

Lynnfield, MA and Oakland, CA, 5 August 2014 —Crossref and the California Digital Library (CDL) have signed an agreement that opens a route for library publishers to participate in the scholarly communications hub created by Crossref. Through the agreement, publishers using CDL’s EZID digital identifier service now may choose to deposit the metadata for their content in the Crossref system. In this way they may use the full range of Crossref services, including search and discovery, persistent linking, tracking of funding and licensing information, text and data mining, and more. As a Crossref Sponsoring Member, EZID will handle the technical and administrative processes for its client publishers, reducing barriers to their Crossref participation.

CDL is a founding member of the DataCite consortium, which, like Crossref, is one of nine Digital Object Identifier (DOI) Registration Agencies (RAs). Crossref assigns DOIs to multiple content types including articles, books and book chapters, data, and many others. DataCite also assigns DOIs to data. A key difference between the two organizations is the primary communities they work with. DataCite assigns DOIs mainly for institutional and subject repositories, while Crossref is a membership organization of scholarly publishers. While both enable persistent identifiers for scholarly content, the two RAs provide different types of applications and services for that content.

“Our goal is to maintain and preserve the scholarly citation system. When many RAs assign DOIs and provide different services for them, ensuring the interoperability of DOI systems is crucial. We’re happy to be working with CDL to take this important step forward in integrating published scholarly documents from an increasingly diverse array of sources,” said Crossref Executive Director Ed Pentz. “By collaborating, EZID and Crossref make it easier for everyone to find information about and use services for scholarly content.”

“We’re very pleased to see EZID working on behalf of its clients to create new partnerships that expand the reach and impact of research and scholarship,” said Rebecca Kennison, Director, Center for Digital Research and Scholarship, Columbia University Libraries/Information Services, a participant in EZID. “Sponsored memberships to Crossref through the CDL open up new possibilities for smaller organizations and those who work with scholars to innovate at the fringes of new publication models, integrating the future of online publication as it assumes various forms. No longer an either-or proposition, membership with EZID for the creation of long-term identifiers for datasets, text, and more now works seamlessly with the cross-linking and research-and-discovery systems with which our partners in research and scholarship are already familiar.”

“The partnership between EZID and Crossref presents an exciting opportunity for eScholarship and our journal partners,” said Catherine Mitchell, Director, Access & Publishing Group, California Digital Library. “The inclusion of our Open Access publications in new discovery services via Crossref, particularly its metadata feed, will dramatically increase the exposure of the important scholarship published on our platform.”

About EZID and the California Digital Library
EZID (easy-eye-dee) makes it easy to create and manage unique, persistent identifiers for digital objects, ensuring their future discoverability. EZID is a service conceived, built, and maintained by the California Digital Library (CDL), founded by the University of California in 1997 to take advantage of emerging technologies that transform the way digital information is published and accessed. CDL has assembled one of the world’s largest digital research libraries and has changed the ways that faculty, students, and researchers discover and access information.

Crossref Members add over a quarter million Crossmark records; Researchers click on Crossmark logos 50k times per month

Wed, 13 Nov 2013 00:00:00 +0000

13 November 2013

Crossref Members add over a quarter million Crossmark records; Researchers click on Crossmark logos 50K times per month

November 13, 2013, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA - Crossref announced today that more than 270,000 documents now have Crossmark version status information, and most display the distinctive logo that provides researchers information both about existing changes to scholarly articles and about important publication record information. More than 100,000 of these records were added in the month of October alone. Scholars click on Crossmark records displayed on PDF and HTML articles an average of 50,000 times a month.

Crossref accepted its first Crossmark data from publishers eighteen months ago. In that time, the number of participating publishers has grown to 24 from the small group that led the two-year pilot. The publishers with the highest number of Crossmark records include those from the original pilot, such as Elsevier Science, the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), the American Institute of Physics, The Royal Society, and Wiley. Wiley currently has the highest number of reader views (or clicks) per Crossmark record.

Participants who have joined since the original pilot are also contributing large numbers of Crossmark records. For example Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), deposited almost 50,000 Crossmark records since mid-October. Another publisher that joined the program this year, F1000 Research, uses the optional Crossmark record tab to deposit and display reviewer reports.

“We’re very pleased to see the increased uptake of Crossmark among our members,” commented Crossref’s Executive Director Ed Pentz. “These publishers have worked hard—sometimes on their own, sometimes with their vendors—to codify content changes and to locate and standardize important non-bibliographic metadata. Now they are beginning to see the benefits, as their readers access this important information in a standard way across publishers. We’re also encouraged by the increasing support from vendors in our affiliate community, who are making this valuable service possible.”

As an example, Stanford University’s HighWire Press, a longtime Crossref Affiliate that implements Crossref Services for many members, has begun making Crossmark deposits for publishers such as the American Diabetes Association, Bioscientifica, the British Medical Journal Group (BMJ Group), Oxford University Press, and PNAS. HighWire also continues to work with pilot participant The Royal Society in implementing support for additional information to be displayed on the publication record tab.

John Sack, HighWire’s Founding Director, commented, “We’re used to our computer software telling us when it needs an update. Crossmark makes content smart like that: the reader can click to find out whether an update is available. HighWire knows from its end-user research that people store PDFs in their local systems, so it is particularly important that the user can easily query for an update from within a PDF.”

FundRef, a funder identification service launched by Crossref this spring, (https://www.crossref.org/services/funder-registry) has also spurred the growth of Crossmark. So far, 26 publishers have joined FundRef; participants have deposited 44,000 bibliographic records containing funding data. For publishers participating in both Crossmark and FundRef, the FundRef data automatically displays on the publication record tab of the Crossmark popup box. The following Crossref DOI links provide examples of Crossmark implementation on publisher websites: On publisher platforms:

F1000 Research Contains an update and publication record information http://dx.doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.2-198.v1

13 October 2013

Crossref discloses FundRef participation statistics; announces eJournalPress integration

October 8, 2013, Frankfurt, Germany - Crossref announced today the results of early participation in FundRef, its new funder identification service.

The number of publishers signed up to participate in FundRef as of the first of October was 19. These publishers have already deposited 28,000 bibliographic records containing funding data, 18,000 of which include at least one FundRef Funder ID.

The FundRef deposits include many funder names that are not already in the FundRef Registry, an openly available taxonomy of more than 4000 funder names contributed by Elsevier for the FundRef service. FundRef personnel are evaluating these new names to determine if they are variations of names already in the taxonomy, or new additions. The first revision to the taxonomy is due to be released this month, and will incorporate changes that better reflect the hierarchy of some funding bodies. Future revisions will add additional funding bodies.

In the meantime, eJournalPress has announced that it has integrated FundRef functionality into its manuscript tracking system. “Our systems collect and track a wide range of metadata and files, tailored to the needs of our clients, who are publishers of scholarly journals,” remarked Joel Plotkin, Founder and CEO of eJournalPress. “Implementing a standardized way to store funding and grant or award information is a logical best practice. We enjoy working with forward-thinking organizations like Crossref who implement beneficial initiatives and services for scholarly journal publishers, helping our clients manage and grow their journals.”

“FundRef is an extremely important initiative. We are working very hard to share information with publishers about how they can add funding information to the metadata records they already deposit with Crossref,” said Crossref Executive Director Ed Pentz. “This timely integration by eJournalPress will help publishers to collect accurate funding data from authors. We look forward to seeing growth in the FundRef metadata as journals using eJournalPress start to deposit funding information.”

Publishers must be members of Crossref to participate in FundRef, which is an optional service. There is no cost to deposit funding data. Publishers who wish to display FundRef data in Crossmark will only pay established Crossmark fees. Publishers may submit data for any content accepted by Crossref, whether current or previously published. More information, including the complete list of participants and links to the FundRef Registry and a recorded introductory webinar is available.

About eJournal Press Founded in 1999, eJournalPress (www.ejpress.com) is focused on providing individualized online peer review and journal production tracking solutions to the scholarly publishing community. Our goal is to find the best solutions for each journal’s needs through innovative technology. Our Continuous Innovation Process allows us to tailor our software to fit any workflow.

FundRef funder identification service from Crossref to help connect funding and publications to improve public access

18 July, Lynnfield, MA — Crossref announced today that it supports the use of its funder identification service, FundRef, to enable the transparent tracking of funding and publications by organizations responding to government public access policies. FundRef includes several components:

A registry of 4000 worldwide funder names, an extension of Crossref’s metadata schema to support funder and grant numbers;
A user interface and open application programming interfaces (API) to allow funders, researchers, publishers, and the general public to locate articles and other scholarly documents funded by particular agencies or private funding bodies; and
The distribution of this funding metadata through Crossref’s regular channels to providers of discovery services and others.

Crossref has already made the FundRef Registry (the taxonomy of funder names) available for open use via a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license. Crossref has now announced plans to extend the FundRef service to meet the needs of organizations working to respond to new public access requirements.

As a first step, Crossref is working with the Clearinghouse for the Open Research of the United States (CHORUS) initiative on how to use the existing Crossref System, and further develop FundRef, to support a distributed infrastructure that will allow readers to easily and freely access peer reviewed publications that result from funding provided by US government agencies. Crossref is open to working with any organizations or initiatives anywhere in the world that want to use the Crossref infrastructure and FundRef data. This includes organizations working on other approaches in response to the US White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) memo of February 2013.

In 2012 Crossref coordinated a successful FundRef Pilot involving collaboration between publishers, funders, and Crossref. FundRef was launched in May 2013 and is currently accepting funding metadata from publishers. FundRef also provides discovery tools for funding agencies and others. The FundRef model is designed to benefit multiple users by taking advantage of the existing Crossref infrastructure of more than 4400 international publishers, 30,000 journal titles, and 61 million linked documents.

“We look forward to working with all parties in all countries to further our mission of improving scholarship through community standards, collaboration and sustainable infrastructure,” said Crossref Executive Director Ed Pentz. “Crossref has always maintained neutrality when it comes to our members’ business models. While CHORUS is the first organization to specifically ask for our help in creating a solution working with publishers and US agencies, we look forward to sharing what we learn with others throughout the process.”

Crossref’s FundRef launches: Publishers and funders track scholarly output

Tue, 28 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Crossref’s FundRef launches: Publishers and funders track scholarly output

*28 May 2013, Lynnfield, MA** — FundRef, the funder identification service from Crossref, is now available for publishers to contribute funding data and for retrieval of that information. FundRef is the result of collaboration between funding agencies and publishers that correlates grants and other funding with the scholarly output of that support.

Publishers participating in FundRef add funding data to the bibliographic metadata they already provide to Crossref for reference linking. FundRef data includes the name of the funder and a grant or award number. Manuscript tracking systems can incorporate a taxonomy of 4000 global funder names, which includes alternate names, aliases, and abbreviations enabling authors to choose from a standard list of funding names. Then the tagged funding data will travel through publishers’ production systems to be stored at Crossref.

Director of the Office of Science and Technical Information of the U.S. Department of Energy, (DOE/OSTI) Walter Warnick commented, “FundRef is a great way for publishers and funding agencies to work together. Research agencies like DOE are accountable for the results of their expenditures to Congress and to the public. Publications in the peer-reviewed literature represent an important output of those expenses, but they have been difficult to track and quantify until now. Tagging this data in a searchable, standard way is a key step forward.”

FundRef helps researchers comply with funder requirements to report the results of financial support they have received. The Crossmark service enables publishers to display FundRef data in a standardized way. FundRef data is also freely available to funding organizations, publishers, libraries, research institutions, scholars, authors, and the public through Crossref’s search services, application programming interfaces (APIs), XML queries, and data distribution channels. A beta version of FundRef Search allows anyone to search the data from the publishers and funders that participated in the pilot for funder names and abbreviations: http://search.crossref.org/funding. In addition, Crossref Metadata Search allows search by grant number.

Fred Dylla, Executive Director of the American Institute of Physics, noted, “FundRef is a remarkable collaboration. It shows how everyone benefits when multiple stakeholders in the scholarly communication process work together. FundRef is feasible and cost effective because it builds on an infrastructure that was already in place among scholarly publishers. The result is that funding agencies and others can have access to this valuable information at no cost.”

“Of all of Crossref’s recent initiatives,” Crossref Executive Director Ed Pentz commented, “response to FundRef has been the most marked. Since we announced the pilot project a year ago, publishers and funding agencies have lined up to participate. Crossref’s existing metadata collection and distribution infrastructure has been leveraged to provide a missing piece of the research funding puzzle. Readers will be able to view funding information in a standard way through Crossmark at participating publishers’ sites without having to hunt for it. ”

Crossref member publisher Elsevier donated the taxonomy of funder names for the Funder Registry. Suggested changes to the taxonomy can be submitted to Crossref for consideration for inclusion in the taxonomy.

FundRef currently includes a limited amount of data from the following pilot publishers and funders:

US Department of Energy, Office of Scientific and Technical Information (DOE/OSTI)
US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
US National Science Foundation (NSF)
Wellcome Trust
AIP Publishing
American Psychological Association
Elsevier
IEEE
Nature Publishing Group
Oxford University Press
Wiley-Blackwell

Additional Crossref member publishers are expected to start adding FundRef metadata representing a broad array of funding bodies between now and the end of the year. More information is available at https://www.crossref.org//services/content-registration/funding-data

10 August 2012, Lynnfield, MA USA—In June 2012, DataCite and the International Association of STM Publishers (STM) issued a joint statement on the Linkability and Citability of Research Data (http://www.stm-assoc.org/2012_06_14_STM_DataCite_Joint_Statement.pdf). Crossref is pleased to join and support this statement and the best practices for data it recommends.

Crossref, a not-for-profit association of representing 4,000 scholarly publisher with 55 million content items (journal and conference proceeding articles and books and book chapters), is committed to the interoperability of Crossref and DataCite’s services which are based on the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) System, recently approved as an ISO Standard (ISO 26324:2012, Information and documentation – Digital object identifier system).

Specifically, Crossref encourages publishers to use DataCite DOIs to link to data sets referenced in the published literature, and encourages authors of research papers to use Crossref DOIs to link from data deposited in DataCite repositories to the published articles that draw on that data. Crossref and DataCite are also collaborating on joint services, such as DOI Content Negotiation (https://crosscite.org), to enable publishers and data repositories to automatically interlink their content.

ORCID and Crossref Collaborate to Accurately Attribute Authorship of Scholarly Content

ORCID and Crossref Collaborate to Accurately Attribute Authorship of Scholarly Content

14 November, 2012, Bethesda, MD, USA and London, UK—Two not-for profit organizations, ORCID and Crossref, have collaborated to solve the problem of ambiguous author names in scholarly content. ORCID began assigning unique identifiers to researchers in October. As part of the ORCID Registry, individuals can search the metadata from Crossref, the largest organization assigning Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to scholarly content, and add their works to their personal ORCID records.

Connecting researchers with their research has been hampered by lack of data standards, and in particular a standard for identifying individuals. ORCID provides researchers a Registry to create a unique personal identifier, and has been working with the research community to embed these identifiers in research workflows.

One key component of the ORCID interface is the ability to import metadata on research works to populate an individual’s ORCID record. As an affiliate member of Crossref, ORCID provides its users the ability to search and import bibliographic metadata from Crossref. “Linking the unique document identifier (the Crossref DOI) with the unique person identifier (the ORCID iD) is essential for ensuring accurate attribution of authors and other content creators,” said Ed Pentz, Executive Director of Crossref and a member of the ORCID board.

In addition to importing past works, ORCID is working with Crossref and the publishing community to ensure that ORCID identifiers collected during the manuscript submission process are incorporated into article metadata and included with the information submitted to Crossref. “As important as importing past works, is implementing an automated process for updating the ORCID record with new publication information. This is one way researchers will truly benefit from having an ORCID identifier,” said Laure Haak, Executive Director of ORCID. Already at the launch of the ORCID Registry, a number of publishers and manuscript tracking system vendors had integrated ORCID identifiers into their author profile and submission processes (for a list, see the ORCID Launch Partners web page).

In order to access the Crossref bibliographic metadata, ORCID has become an affiliate of Crossref. Likewise Crossref is a founding member of ORCID. Crossref has modified its metadata schema so that publishers can include ORCID iDs with their bibliographic metadata deposits. The Crossref system will allow querying for ORCIDs from its records early in 2013.

In an article published in Learned Publishing in October, Haak, Pentz, and co-authors described recommended best practices for collecting and displaying ORCID identifiers in research papers (See http://dx.doi.org/10.1087/20120404). Since it is not possible to deduce name or other identifying information from the ORCID identifier, it is important to visually display the identifier with the author name: as a footnote or in-line in the HTML and PDF versions of published manuscripts; in the article metadata used on journal websites; in the article metadata sent to Crossref and bibliographic databases such as Pub-Med; and in downloadable reference lists using the RIS, BibTeX or Endnote format. The ultimate goal is to have the ORCID unique identifier associated with the article DOI whenever a scholarly contribution is made or reported.

ORCID, was established in 2010 as non-profit organization serving the research community. For more information on ORCID, please see http://www.orcid.org. You may contact the Executive Director Laure Haak at l.haak@orcid.org and follow @ORCID_Org on Twitter.

Crossref Announces FundRef Pilot to Standardize Funding Source Information for Scholarly Publications

2 May, Washington, DC, USA—Crossref has announced FundRef, a pilot collaboration between scholarly publishers and funding agencies that will standardize the names of research funders and add grant numbers attributed in journal articles or other scholarly documents. The collaboration would allow researchers, publishers, and funding agencies to track the published research that results from specific funding bodies.

The international FundRef pilot participants include seven publishers (American Institute of Physics, American Psychological Association, Elsevier, IEEE, Nature Publishing Group, Oxford University Press, and Wiley) and four funding organizations (US Department of Energy, Office of Scientific and Technical Information [DOE/OSTI]; US National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA]; US National Science Foundation [NSF]; and Wellcome Trust).

Walter Warnick, Director of DOE/OSTI, said, “We see great value in this collaboration. Being able to track the scholarly publications that result from funding activities will provide us with an important measure of our impact on research progress.”

Fred Dylla, Executive Director of the American Institute of Physics, added, “This project is a great example of a productive collaboration involving scholarly publishers, funding agencies, and Crossref that will provide an important new service to the research community—the ability to link publications on publisher’s sites to related information such as grantee awards and grantee reports on funding agency sites.”

“Although publishers almost always include an acknowledgements section in their journals, where authors credit their funding sources, the lack of standardization of funding organizations names and their abbreviations make it very difficult to use that information for reporting or analysis,” Crossref Executive Director Ed Pentz noted. “FundRef will address this challenge.”

The participants in the pilot project plan to create a proof of concept system that will demonstrate the workflow for how funding agency names and grant and award numbers will be standardized and linked to publications. The proof of concept should be available by October 2012.

Ammons Scientific LTD Uses iThenticate to Check all Articles for Originality Prior to Peer Review

iThenticate helps leading psychology publisher educate individuals from other cultures on the issues of plagiarism and authentic writing

OAKLAND, Calif., February 23, 2012 – Turnitin, creators of iThenticate and the leader in plagiarism prevention, is helping Ammons Scientific (AmSci), a leading publisher of psychology journals, ensure research is original before publication. The majority of manuscripts submitted to AmSci are from authors and researchers in countries where English is not the primary language. Cultural differences in writing methodologies often collide with those of peer-reviewed publication. Using iThenticate, AmSci is able to verify the originality of all work and have a way to educate individuals on permissible writing practices in the field of scholarly research.

“Around 60 percent of the articles submitted to us are coming from individuals for whom English is a second language. In some cases, there is a tendency to want to say something the way someone else said it and, in some cultures, it is considered respectful to copy someone else’s work,” said Dr. Stephanie A. Isbell, managing editor at Ammons Scientific LTD. “iThenticate has helped us develop our service to ensure quality and intervene with writers as needed to ensure that their work is original and robust.”

The pressure to publish, combined with the growing population of scholarly researchers, has made it increasingly difficult for publishers crosscheck logoand institutions to prevent cases of plagiarism and self-plagiarism. AmSci has united with more than 280 top-tier publishers in an initiative called CrossCheck, which is a partnership between Crossref and iThenticate that provides scholarly publishers with iThenticate’s anti-plagiarism services in order to prevent duplication and other academic misconduct issues. CrossCheck compares millions of documents annually against iThenticate’s database of more than 116 million scholarly content items, including 30 million articles, books and conference proceedings from over 70,000 publications, and 20 billion web pages.

“Plagiarism checking has become an essential tool for journal editors to ensure the originality of written work in scholarly research and published material,” said Chris Cross, general manager of iThenticate. “Ammons Scientific’s adoption of iThenticate is a strong example of steps publishers are taking to ensure originality in research and avoid costly misconduct cases.”

Crossmark™ Update Identification Service Launches to Alert Readers to Changes in Scholarly Content

Crossmark™ Update Identification Service Launches to Alert Readers to Changes in Scholarly Content

27 April, Lynnfield, MA USA—Crossref today launched the Crossmark update identification service. The Crossmark system will alert researchers to important changes that may occur to published scholarly content and will highlight important publication record information. The Crossmark service has been piloted by several Crossref member publishers for the past year.

“Finding update and corrections for scholarly documents can be a frustrating business for researchers, especially in an environment where content is available from so many channels,” said Crossref Executive Director Ed Pentz. “Scholarly publishers routinely note changes to their content, but how this is done varies from publisher to publisher, which can make them difficult to locate. Before Crossmark, researchers had no way to tell if any changes had occurred to a PDF that they had downloaded months earlier. Now by simply clicking a single, recognizable logo, any reader can have access to this important information.”

Clicking on the Crossmark logo launches a pop-up box that provides status information, for example, that the document is up to date, or that it has a correction, update, retraction, or other change that could affect the interpretation or crediting of the work. It also provides a permanent link, via the Crossref Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to both the publisher-maintained version of the content and the update.

Sample Crossmark Status Tab

Another tab in the box can include optional publication record information, which is non-bibliographic data that is useful for the reader. It may include information on peer review, publication history, funding disclosures, links to associated datasets, or rights.

Sample Crossmark Record Tab

The cost of the Crossmark system will be borne by the Crossref participating publishers, with the result that the status and publication record information will be openly available to readers, libraries and any organization that might find the data useful.

Almost 20,000 documents from 21 journals have live Crossmark logos on their web sites, and working logos will be added to these journals’ PDF files shortly. Of those documents, 290 have noted updates.

The publishers who have implemented Crossmark to date include a diverse representation of Crossref members: small international open access publishers, large commercial publishers, established society publishers, and university presses.

The following publishers have live Crossmark links on their sites:

Elsevier Science
International Union for Crystallography
Oxford University Press
The Royal Society
Vilnius Gediminas Technical University

Several additional members of the Crossmark pilot group, including Wiley-Blackwell and IEEE, are also working on their implementations.

“As an open access publisher with very liberal reposting rights, we appreciate the fact that wherever our documents are found, whether on an author home page or in an institutional repository, readers will still be able to use the Crossmark logo to get authoritative information about the current status of that document,” said Eleonora Dagienė, Director of the Vilnius Gediminas Technical University Press.

“While articles rarely have to be retracted, we are concerned that the evidence suggests that erroneous citations to retracted articles can continue for a very long time,” added Stuart Taylor, Commercial Director of The Royal Society. “Crossmark helps us to maintain the integrity of our published content, and thus of the scientific record.”

Any Crossref member publisher in good standing that agrees to the Crossmark terms and conditions can now display Crossmark logos and metadata for their content. More information and examples are available.

Crossref Assigns 50 Millionth DOI

15 November, Cambridge, MA USA—The number of Crossref Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) assigned to scholarly documents has surpassed 50 million, in time for Crossref’s twelfth annual meeting today.

The 50 millionth DOI has been identified as http://dx.doi.org/10.3406/lsoc.1985.2030, a 1985 linguistics article from the journal Langage et Société, made available by the Persée Program, which has participated in Crossref since 2007.

Viviane Boulétreau of the Persée Program, said, “Although this article was published many years ago, it has only recently has been assigned a DOI as part of our ongoing project to digitize older scholarly material. Our participation in Crossref promotes the linking of our content to the international community of scientific resources and improves its visibility and citability for our audience of readers.”

“This article serves as an excellent example of the diversity of the content at Crossref,” noted Executive Director Ed Pentz. “Our members come from 67 nations and multiple disciplines including sciences, social sciences, and increasingly the arts and humanities. Persée is typical of the small, international publishers joining Crossref in great numbers and contributing valuable content to the interconnected web of scholarship.”

“I continue to be amazed at the subject breadth and the chronological depth of the coverage of member content at Crossref,” adds Crossref Board Chair Linda Beebe, Senior Director at the American Psychological Association. “This milestone provides another in a series of indicators that the scholarly citation linking system facilitated by Crossref is here to stay.”

The complete citation of the 50 millionth DOI is below:

Darré, Jean-Pierre, “Les dialogues entre agriculteurs (Etude comparative dans deux villages français, Bretagne et Lauragais),” Dialogs between farmer (a comparative study between two French villages, Brittany and Lauragais), Langage et société, 1985. 33, pp. 43-64, http://dx.doi.org/10.3406/lsoc.1985.2030.

About Crossref Crossref (http://www.crossref.org) is a not-for-profit membership association of publishers.

Crossref Revises DOI Display Guidelines

02 August 2011

Crossref Revises DOI Display Guidelines

2 August 2011, Lynnfield, MA USA—Crossref, the association of scholarly publishers that provides reference linking, today announced an update to its Digital Object Identifier (DOI) online display guidelines.

The new guidelines encourage Crossref member publishers, affiliates, and others in the scholarly community to display Crossref DOIs as full URLs in the online environment. (A Crossref DOI is a persistent link to scholarly content.) To create a DOI URL, anyone can simply prepend http://dx.doi.org/ to any DOI.

“The new format will make it easier for researchers to know what to do with a Crossref DOI wherever they encounter it,” according to Crossref Executive Director Ed Pentz. “Whether or not they know what Crossref is, or what a DOI is, they will be able to simply click on the link.”

This change will allow users to copy permanent Crossref DOI links from HTML pages to emails, blogs, reference management software and other applications. In addition, mobile device users will be able to take advantage of the citation linking system already in place for scholarly publications on the web.

“Displaying Crossref DOIs as links simplifies navigation in scholarly publications for humans and machines alike. Though these guidelines are recommendations, and not requirements, we encourage everyone who uses Crossref DOIs in online content and applications to adopt them,” Pentz added.

The guidelines supersede the previous practice of displaying “doi:” in front of Crossref DOIs. Early DOI adopters had anticipated that “doi:” would become a formal URI scheme so that WWW browsers would link Crossref DOIs in this form, which has not happened.

“The old format was confusing for users, since it did not automatically become a link in web browsers,” noted Pentz.

The revised guidelines also include several examples of how Crossref DOIs should be displayed in reference lists.

“We understand that different publishers have different publications styles and different usability concerns, so we have made the guidelines flexible enough to accommodate these varying needs. A group of publishers and other organizations have given careful thought to this change to ensure that Crossref DOIs are as useful as possible to scholars,” Pentz explained.

The complete Crossref DOI Display Guidelines can be found on the Crossref web site.

About Crossref Crossref (http://www.crossref.org) is a not-for-profit membership association of publishers. Since its founding in 2000, Crossref has provided reference linking services for nearly 48 million content items, including journal articles, books and book chapters, conference proceedings, reference entries, technical reports, standards, and data sets. Crossref’s goal is to be a trusted collaborative organization with broad community connections; authoritative and innovative in support of a persistent, sustainable infrastructure for scholarly communication.

Crossref and International DOI Foundation Collaborate on Linked-Data-Friendly DOIs

20 April 2011

Crossref and International DOI Foundation Collaborate on Linked-Data-Friendly DOIs

20 April 2011, Lynnfield, MA USA—Crossref and the International DOI Foundation (IDF) have announced that all 46 million Crossref Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are now enabled for use in linked data applications, effective immediately.

The term “linked data” describes a set of best practices for exposing data in machine-readable form using the standard HTTP web protocol. These best practices support the development of tools to link and make use of data from multiple web sources without the need to deal with many different proprietary and incompatible application programming interfaces (APIs).

“We are delighted with this collaboration,” says Geoffrey Bilder, Director of Strategic Initiatives at Crossref. “By making sure that Crossref DOIs can be used according to linked data principles, we hope to encourage linked data applications to make use of Crossref DOIs as the basis for standard, persistent citations to the content our members publish on the web. We look forward to other DOI Registration Agencies (RAs) enabling similar functionality so that their members’ content also be persistently linked to by linked data tools.”

Norman Paskin of the IDF commented, “We feel that a significant advantage of applying Linked Data principles and technologies to DOI-registered material is that it is ‘data worth linking to’: it is curated, value-added, data, which is managed, corrected, updated and consistently maintained by Registration Agencies. It is also persistent, so avoiding ‘bit-rot’. This significant announcement by Crossref is part of improvements the International DOI Foundation is continuing to make to facilitate more sophisticated uses of a DOI.”

How It Works The Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), the IDF, and Crossref have enabled the DOI web proxy (which is located at http://dx.doi.org) to support content negotiation for DOIs. In the early days of the web, human beings were following most URLs, and it made sense that the DOI web proxy only resolved Crossref DOIs to human-readable web pages. Now, however, a program is just as likely to follow a URL as a person is. The program may have to scrape the HTML landing page that was designed for humans for data that it needs. This aproach is suboptimal and error-prone. The solution for this problem until now has been that Crossref and other RAs have provided a variety of APIs that allow programs to query for DOIs and receive machine-readable content in return. Some examples of these APIs include OpenURL and piped queries.

The problem with these APIs is that they require programmers to familiarize themselves with sometimes extensive API documentation that varies from one data provider to the next. This approach is not scalable when dealing with many sources of information. Content negotiation helps because it is a standard part of the HTTP protocol that underlies the web. A program can now resolve a DOI through the standard web proxy and specify that the data should be returned in a machine-readable format, and the programmer can use the same methods they use for querying for data on any linked-data-enabled site.

Current users will notice no difference in the behavior of the DOI resolver system unless they explicitly start using content negotiation, thus ensuring backwards compatibility.

An important feature of the implementation is that either the RA responsible for the DOI or the organization to whom the content identified by the DOI belongs can respond to any content negotiation request. Initially, programs requesting machine-readable data from Crossref DOIs using content negotiation will receive the metadata that the Crossref member publisher has registered at Crossref. As publishers start to implement content negotiation on their own sites, they may want to return richer and more complete representations of their content, at which point Crossref can direct content-negotiated requests directly to the publishers’ sites.

Crossref Reaches 1000 Member Milestone

15 December 2010, Lynnfield, MA USA—Crossref, the not-for-profit association of scholarly publishers that provides collaborative business and infrastructure services, has signed its 1000th voting member, St. Plum-Blossom Press of Melbourne, Australia. Voting members represent over 3200 publishers and societies that participate in Crossref’s Digital Object Identifier (DOI) reference linking system.

“Crossref’s membership is increasingly diverse,” notes Crossref Executive Director Edward Pentz. “Well over half of our participating publishers are not-for-profit. Most of our membership growth comes from small publishers all over the globe. In fact, our members now come from more than 50 countries. They employ all business models, from subscription access, to open access, to hybrid models.”

Crossref is working to expand its network of sponsoring organizations around the world as a way of improving services to smaller international publishers. A recent agreement with the Organization of Open Access Publishers (OASPA), and long-standing arrangements with respected organizations in the developing world and in Asia allow publishers served by these organizations to take advantage of Crossref services at a lower cost and with local support. Crossref is working to expand such relationships in other regions to provide better service.

Participation in Crossref requires that publishers agree to assign Crossref DOIs, which are persistent links, to their current journal content. Members also agree to incorporate outbound links in the references of their journal content to content from other members. Crossref provides both the business and technological infrastructure to make reference linking possible among scholarly publishers, to the benefit of the researcher.

Many members go far beyond the minimum requirement of linking current journals by assigning Crossref DOIs to and creating reference links from other types of content, such as book titles and chapters, conference proceedings, and components like tables, images, and supplementary data.

Crossref’s services extend beyond reference linking, the service created by the organization in 1999. Crossref also provides content discovery through an OpenURL interface to allow libraries to look up Crossref DOIs and bibliographic metadata at no charge. It aids discovery and analysis of scholarly content by licensing bibliographic metadata to secondary publishers and providers of research tools through Crossref Metadata Services. Crossref also provides Cited-by Linking, showing readers what subsequently published content has cited a particular document.

Crossref’s newest service, CrossCheck, allows publishers to screen submissions for duplication against other scholarly and web content. The plagiarism screening tool, powered by iThenticate, has prevented numerous members from inadvertently publishing plagiarized content.

Crossref will soon launch the Crossmark service, which will help researchers identify the provenance of scholarly literature on the web and to easily determine if documents have been updated since published.

Crossref (http://www.crossref.org) is a not-for-profit membership association of publishers. Since its founding in 1999, Crossref has provided reference linking services for 44 million content items, including journal articles, conference proceedings, books, book chapters, reference entries, technical reports, standards, and data sets. Crossref’s goal is to be a trusted collaborative organization with broad community connections; authoritative and innovative in support of a persistent, sustainable infrastructure for scholarly communication.

Elsevier joins Crossref Cited-by-linking

Tue, 16 Nov 2010 00:00:00 +0000

16 November 2010

Elsevier joins Crossref Cited-by-linking

16 November, London, UK—Elsevier now participates in Crossref’s Cited-by Linking Service. The service allows Crossref member publishers to display links on an article page to other articles that cite that particular document. Elsevier joins over 200 publishers that deposit references from their scholarly content and display citing links from Crossref publishers back to that content.

Since August, Crossref DOI-based cited-by links have been added to over 10 million Elsevier articles on SciVerse ScienceDirect. The next step in Elsevier’s implementation will be to submit approximately 200 million references to Crossref from its large library of scholarly publications. Depositing these references will allow other Crossref members to display links to Elsevier articles that cite their content.

“Having Elsevier join Cited-by Linking is great news for researchers,” commented Ed Pentz, Crossref’s Executive Director. “As with all Crossref services, the more publishers who participate, the greater the benefit to those in the scholarly communications system. Adding the huge number of Elsevier articles and references to the system will greatly improve individual researchers’ ability to evaluate the importance of the literature they look at and to navigate to related research.”

“Elsevier has added Crossref Cited-by Linking to our existing navigation features on SciVerse ScienceDirect because we believe it will further improve researchers’ ability to search and discover scholarly content that is relevant to their work,” notes Chris Shillum, Vice President for Product Management, Platform and Content at Elsevier. “We remain strongly committed to providing researchers access to trusted information tailored to their research needs, and this enhancement reflects that commitment.”

Crossref Cited-by Linking (previously known as Forward Linking) has grown steadily since its inception in 2006. Currently, almost 20% of the 44 million Crossref DOIs deposited also have their references available to create Cited-by Links. A total of more than 125 million Cited-by Links exist among participating publishers. Nearly 17 million Crossref DOIs have at least one Cited-by Link referencing them. Cited-by Linking is an optional service for Crossref members and is available at no additional cost. More information is available at the Crossref web site: http://www.crossref.org/citedby.html

Portico to preserve Crossref metadata

16 November, London, UK—Crossref and Portico announced today an agreement in principle under which Portico will preserve Crossref’s bibliographic and reference metadata in the Portico archive. This agreement would act as an extra level of insurance to the scholarly community, which relies on reference linking services from Crossref.

Ed Pentz, Crossref’s Executive Director, noted, “This agreement with Portico represents the most recent in a series of steps Crossref has taken to implement our plan for long-term sustainability. For Crossref DOIs to be persistent links Crossref itself must be persistent as an organization. We updated our membership terms to encourage member publishers to enter into archiving agreements for their own content and to ensure Crossref can keep the bibliographic metadata even if publishers stop assigning DOIs or cease operations. We have implemented multiple resolution of Crossref DOIs to enable links to several archive locations for “triggered” content that is no longer available from the publisher. And now, we will be able to take advantage of Portico’s quality digital preservation services to archive our own data in the unlikely event that Crossref itself should cease to function without a successor organization in place.”

“Crossref and Portico share a commitment to preserving the scholarly record,” said Eileen Fenton, Portico’s Managing Director. “Crossref joins other forward-looking organizations who have committed to the long-term preservation of their content by participation in the Portico preservation service.”

Portico is a community-supported digital preservation service provided by ITHAKA, a not-for-profit organization with a mission to help the academic community use digital technologies to preserve the scholarly record and to advance research and teaching in sustainable ways. Portico preserves 12,000 e-journals, 66,000 e-book titles, and 39 digitized historical collections from 118 publishers on behalf of over 2,000 societies and associations, and with the support of 710 libraries worldwide. The agreement with Crossref would add bibliographic data with Crossref Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for more than 44 million records from more than 3200 publishers.

40 Million Crossref DOIs preserve the record of scholarship

5 February 2010, Lynnfield, MA USA—Crossref, which provides reference linking services for scholarly publications, has surpassed 40 million metadata records for scholarly content. Each of these records includes a Crossref Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the content to be accessed by a permanent link on the Internet.

Of these 40 million items, 87 percent are from journals. Content from scholarly books and reference works makes up more than 5 percent and another 5 percent is from conference proceedings.

The oldest Crossref DOIs represent articles from 1665 with issues of the Royal Society’s Philosophical Transactions. In fact, Crossref contains more than 650,000 records from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries as well as the tens of millions from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Crossref includes metadata from more than 2900 publishers, 20,000 journal titles, and 100,000 book titles, which represent Crossref’s fastest growing content type. Content comes from 6 continents, including publishers from low-income countries through arrangements with organizations like the Information Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP).

“Passing the 40 million mark underscores how ubiquitous reference linking has become in the scholarly communications process,” said Ed Pentz, Executive Director of Crossref. “Crossref has enabled reference linking and persistent identification for the vast majority of electronic scholarly content. Nearly a million times every day, Crossref DOI links resolve to the appropriate article or other content. We are committed to supporting scholarship for the long term–and our definition of ‘long term’ is very long indeed. We look forward to continuing our strong collaborations with publishers, with libraries, with our affiliates including vendors, and ultimately with researchers to promote good research, building on the foundations of the past.”

“Crossref’s contribution to scholarly publishing has been remarkable in the relatively short ten years of its existence,” added Bob Campbell, President of Wiley-Blackwell and Chair of the Crossref Board of Directors. “The substantial number of reference links enabled by those millions of Crossref DOIs means that all over the world scholars can easily locate information to help them in their research, Crossref continues to add innovative services to promote collaboration, trustworthy scholarly content, and the infrastructure to benefit the many parties involved in scholarly communication.” Crossref currently has 804 voting members, representing 2950 publishers. Almost 60% of Crossref publishers are not-for-profit organizations. Crossref also serves more than 1500 libraries.

Crossref Collaborates with SAGE, OUP, CLOCKSS and Portico to Light Up Archive for Discontinued Journal Articles

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0000

11 September 2009

Crossref collaborates with SAGE, OUP, CLOCKSS and Portico to light up archive for discontinued journal articles

11 September 2009, Lynnfield, MA USA—Crossref has collaborated with archiving organizations and publishers to ensure that several journals that have ceased publication remain linkable with the Crossref DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) originally assigned to the articles. The titles include Auto/Biography and Graft from SAGE and Brief Treatment and Crisis Intervention from Oxford University Press (OUP). All three titles are now available through both CLOCKSS and Portico.

An archive “trigger event” occurs when a published journal or other content is no longer available from the publisher. Trigger events can occur for a variety of reasons. Both SAGE and OUP have had agreements in place with archive organizations for several years, but the discontinuation of these titles marked the first time those arrangements had been implemented with real-world cases.

“Two important tenets of Crossref’s mission are persistence and cooperation,” said Ed Pentz, Executive Director of Crossref. “Making sure that the Crossref DOIs that have been assigned to content that has moved from a publisher journal platform to an archive still resolve to the articles is an important part of that persistence. Persistence is not only achieved through technology but by cooperation: Crossref, publishers, journal hosting services, and the archiving organizations have all worked together to ensure continued access to the scholarly record. These journals are particularly strong examples of the system in action as there are multiple archives available to guarantee ongoing access.”

“Graft articles were made available in Portico at the end of 2007 and Auto/Biography in mid-2008,” said Carol Richman, Director of Licensing at SAGE. “We believe that we have a responsibility to ensure scholarly content and research materials remain accessible in the future, and have therefore made long-term commitments with a number of archive partners. Crossref’s multiple resolution service allows users following a Crossref DOI link to choose whether to access the archived copies through Portico or CLOCKSS.”

“Our first triggered journal is Brief Treatment and Crisis Intervention,” said Claire Kearney, Head of IT, Oxford Journals, Oxford University Press. “We appreciated the opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to archiving by enabling multiple resolution links that lead to both CLOCKSS and Portico. Not only did we need to work out the technical issues of ensuring persistent linking to archived content, but the agreements we have with the archiving organizations and with Crossref provide a “publication will” that ensures this information will continue to be available to scholars.”

“The CLOCKSS Archive, the community-governed archiving initiative with broad support from publishers large and small, Crossref, and the library community, has made all three journals openly available from two geographically separate sites,” notes Gordon Tibbitts, Co-Chair CLOCKSS Board of Directors. “CLOCKSS truly serves the world’s scholars by ensuring content no longer available from any publisher is available to everyone for free.” CLOCKSS triggered content is available at http://www.clockss.org/clockss/Triggered_Content.

“Our aim is for researchers to be able to reliably and persistently locate published research when it is no longer made available from other sources,” said Eileen Fenton, Portico Managing Director. “It is one thing to turn on access, but another thing altogether to make sure the links that worked yesterday still work tomorrow. Through close coordination with Crossref, we have been able to verify the accuracy of metadata and ensure that DOIs exist for all preserved content, and ultimately to provide a seamless transition for users from publisher-based to archival access.” Access to triggered content is available to the more than 600 Portico participants at http://www.portico.org/news/trigger.html.

Crossref hits the books—deposits grow, guidelines released

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0000

29 July 2009

Crossref hits the books—deposits grow, guidelines released

29 July 2009, Lynnfield, MA USA—For the second year in a row Crossref deposits for books are growing faster than any other content type in the reference linking system. As of July 2009, more than 1.8 million Crossref Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) have been assigned for books. Each Crossref DOI represents a citable book title, chapter, or reference entry that can be used to link references from scholarly content. Book deposits range from monographs with a single Crossref DOI to massive reference works with tens of thousands of individual entries.

To encourage publishers to ramp up reference linking for scholarly books, and to explain how Crossref DOIs for books work, Crossref has published two documents. The first, Best Practices for Books, was created by Crossref’s Book Working Group. The second is a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document explaining the relationship between Crossref DOIs and other DOI applications, such as the ISBN-A.

“We are very encouraged at the growth of books being used in Crossref reference linking,” said Michael Forster, Chair of Crossref’s Book Working Group, and Vice President and Associate Publishing Director, Physical Sciences, Scientific, Technical, Medical, and Scholarly Publishing, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. “We solicited feedback from the entire Crossref membership before finalizing these guidelines. Our goal is to encourage reference linking among books, proceedings, and journal content, and to enhance the discoverability of professional, reference, technical, and scholarly books.”

The best practices document, available at http://www.crossref.org/06members/best_practices_for_books.html, includes suggestions for improving reference matching results. It identifies minimum and recommended book metadata for deposits and queries in the Crossref system. Ways to handle editions and other types of versions, so important in book publishing, are also addressed. Crossref’s FAQ explains the differences between Crossref DOIs used for reference linking and some new types of identifiers emerging for books. The document, available at http://www.crossref.org/06members/otherdoifaq.html, goes into detail about an application called the ISBN-A—ISBNs made actionable through the DOI System.

“We wanted to make sure that people understand the purposes of these different applications of DOI technology,” said Crossref Executive Director Ed Pentz. “Crossref is a registration agency for the scholarly publishing community, and Crossref DOIs are designed to make citation linking possible in content published by this group. Other DOI applications serve the needs of other communities and provide other services, and we fully support making the different DOI applications interoperable.”

Almost 60 publishers have deposited Crossref DOIs for nearly 84,000 book titles since Crossref began accepting book deposits.

More information about assigning DOIs to books and book reference linking is available on the Crossref website.

28 April 2009

CrossCheck Plagiarism Screening Service Adds 50th Publisher

Lynnfield, MA, April 28, 2009 – Crossref welcomed the American Psychological Association (APA) this week as its 50th participant in CrossCheck, the plagiarism screening service powered by iThenticate.

CrossCheck, a cooperative service from Crossref and iParadigms, launched in June 2008. It provides publishers with web-based text analysis and a unique and growing database of scholarly publications against which to compare manuscripts and papers for duplication.

“Ensuring that our publications contain original, trustworthy content is paramount,” noted Gary VandenBos, Publisher for the APA. “Editors and reviewers read widely but cannot recall everything written in their domains. CrossCheck provides a level of automated assistance that, while no substitute for editorial expertise, is an excellent screening tool.”

“CrossCheck’s success is directly proportional to the number of participating publishers, so we are delighted to reach this milestone just nine months after launch,” said Crossref Executive Director Ed Pentz. “Clearly, tools to assist in identifying possible misconduct are valuable to publishers of all sizes and in all disciplines. Participants also recognize that CrossCheck deters authors from submitting duplicate content.”

The growing CrossCheck database contains 13.8 million items from 23,000 journals, books, and conference proceedings. In addition to checking against documents from scholarly publishers, participants compare papers against relevant sources from the web and proprietary databases. According to Bob Creutz, General Manager at iParadigms, “The CrossCheck database is quickly reaching critical mass. No other plagiarism detection system has such a comprehensive repository of content. That content is critical in making CrossCheck work for publishers. The combination of content, iParadigms’ sophisticated text analysis software, and the intuitive iThenticate interface creates an extremely powerful tool for publishers.”

Crossref Announces Improved Multiple Resolution Service

Crossref Announces Improved Multiple Resolution Service

LYNNFIELD, MA – August 04, 2008 - Crossref, the reference-linking network for scholarly and professional publishers, is pleased to announce that its improved multiple resolution service (MR) has launched, enabling publishers to assign multiple URLs to a single DOI.

As of May 2008 the Crossref system is supporting the assignment of more than one URL to a single DOI, a concept known as multiple resolution (MR). Crossref’s MR service works by providing an interim page solution, which presents a list of link choices to the end user. Each choice represents a location at which the published journal article or another type of published content may be obtained.

Since 2006 Crossref operated a pilot MR program with virtually the same service. The pilot explored various multiple resolution techniques and brought to light a range of technical challenges. It also revealed operational needs that have been reflected in the design of the production service.

The key to the updated MR service is the enforcement of roles and permissions. The MR service gives the content’s primary owner full control while allowing secondary providers to supply only the data essential to their platform. The production service builds on what was learned during the pilot exercise and offers those services which meet the immediate needs expressed by our membership.

According to Chuck Koscher, Crossref’s Director of Technology: “Our production multiple resolution service is a first step at moving beyond simple one DOI one URL resolution and begins to take advantage of the DOI’s fuller capabilities. Early in our pilot project we recognized that metadata management would be the key behind a successful multiple resolution offering and this was our focus for the production service. These transactions add some complexity to the deposit process and increased automation is essential. We believe we are in the early days of MR and as more publishers avail themselves of such services we will discover better methods.”

19 June 2008

CrossCheck Plagiarism Screening Service Launches Today

LYNNFIELD MA, June 19, 2008 – Crossref announced today the official launch of CrossCheck, a new initiative to aid publishers in verifying the originality of scholarly content. Following on the success of Crossref’s recent pilot of CrossCheck, this service is now open to all Crossref member publishers.

Crossref partnered with iParadigms, LLC, in creating CrossCheck powered by iThenticate (https://crosscheck.ithenticate.com). Crossref members who choose to participate can verify the originality of works submitted for publication using the iParadigms iThenticate service to check against a vast database of proprietary as well as open web content.

The CrossCheck database is already slated to cover over 20 million journal articles from the following participating publishers: Association for Computing Machinery, American Society of Neuroradiology, BMJ Publishing Group, Elsevier, Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers, International Union of Crystallography, Nature Publishing Group, Oxford University Press, Sage, Informa UK (Taylor & Francis), and Wiley Blackwell. With the launch today, both publisher participation and the CrossCheck database should grow quickly.

Until now, there was no automated way to check submissions against previous publications because the published literature had not been indexed and “text fingerprinted” for this purpose. According to Ed Pentz, Crossref’s Executive Director, “CrossCheck is only as strong as the collective whole. It was important that the pilot publishers joined on but now we need the rest of the Crossref members to join this initiative. We are happy that publishers such as Sage, Oxford University Press and Nature Publishing Group have agreed to participate in addition to the pilot publishers. We anticipate expanding the database of content very rapidly.”

Crossref Announces CrossCheck Plagiarism Detection Service

15 April 2008

Crossref Announces CrossCheck Plagiarism Detection Service

Lynnfield MA, April 15, 2008 – Crossref announces an agreement with iParadigms, LLC to launch the CrossCheck service to aid in verifying the originality of scholarly content. Following on the success of Crossref’s recent pilot of CrossCheck, the service is scheduled to go live in June.

Crossref is partnering with iParadigms, LLC to offer its members — leading scholarly and professional publishers — the opportunity to verify the originality of works submitted for publication using the iThenticate service to check against a vast database of proprietary as well as open web content. Until now, there was no automated way to check submissions against previous publications because the published literature had not been indexed and “text fingerprinted” for this purpose. The CrossCheck database will include the full-text journals of leading academic publishers, and is expected to grow very rapidly over the coming months as Crossref member publishers sign up for the service.

CrossCheck will be available to all Crossref members who opt to contribute their content to the database. To use the service publishers will need to integrate the checking tool into their editorial processes and develop suitable policies and guidelines. Crossref is working with iParadigms, member publishers, and editorial system software producers on appropriate technical information and guidelines for CrossCheck.

Ed Pentz, Crossref’s Executive Director said, “CrossCheck builds on the collaborative nature of Crossref itself, and will provide an important tool for ensuring the originality of scholarly content. The system doesn’t actually detect plagiarism – plagiarism implies intent and that’s not something computers can identify. Instead it identifies matching text in different documents and then a knowledgeable person has to look at the results as part of the editorial screening process. We are pleased to be working with iParadigms and using the iThenticate service. Ultimately, the whole research community will benefit from CrossCheck.”

John Barrie, President and Founder of iParadigms, LLC added, “iParadigms is the world’s leading provider of web-based software solutions that analyze the originality of textual materials. Our services, including Turnitin and iThenticate, are used by over 8400 institutions in 106 countries, to help professionals such as academics, editors and publishers ensure that their work adheres to the rigorous standards of integrity and timeliness in our fast-paced, web-connected world. The inclusion of Crossref member scholarly and scientific content in our database makes our services even more effective than ever. This is a win for both of our organizations.”

About iParadigms, LLC: Headquartered in Oakland, CA, iParadigms, LLC (http://www.iparadigms.com) is the leading provider of web-based solutions to check documents for originality and plagiarism. The company’s products include Turnitin, a web-based service used by tens of millions of students and faculty for the digital assessment of academic work, and iThenticate, an internet service which enables companies to determine originality and check documents for misappropriation.

Sermo Partners with Crossref to use DOIs as Linking Standard for Physician Discussion of Medical Research

Lynnfield, MA. March 7, 2008 — Crossref, the publisher linking service, announced today that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Sermo (http://www.sermo.com), the largest online physician community. Through this new partnership, Sermo will make use of the DOIR (Digital Object Identifier) to link real-time physician discussions about current research to the source medical journal articles.

DOIs enhance Sermo’s “Discuss on Sermo” initiative, which facilitates post publication discussion of thousands of medical research articles. Through this program, publishers can:

Capture a “collective letter to the editor” with input from hundreds or thousands of readers.
Promote medical journal content to the most active online audience of US physicians.
Leverage collective discussions of medical content to augment and inform original research.

“Our relationship with Sermo promotes the DOI as the linking standard for medical and other professional literature,” says Amy Brand, Crossref’s Director of Business and Product Development. “Crossref is also invested in making its members aware of the Discuss on Sermo initiative, which links high-quality online discussions with their medical content in a very easy way.”

“Using DOIs, Sermo can effectively tie its physicians’ discussions of current research with the appropriate source journal articles,” said Alex Frost, Sermo Vice President for Research. “As we expand the Discuss on Sermo program, we hope to work closely with Crossref to help enable more advances in effectively linking research content from diverse sources.”

About Sermo: Launched in September 2006, Sermo is already the largest online physician community in the US, with over 50,000 physician members. On Sermo, physicians exchange knowledge with each other and gain potentially life saving insights directly from colleagues. Sermo harnesses the power of collective wisdom and enables physicians to discuss new clinical findings, report unusual events, and work together to improve patient care. Through its unique business model, Sermo is free to physicians and has no advertising or promotion. Learn more at http://www.sermo.com.

Crossref Launches Free Citation Look-up Tool For Bloggers

Crossref Launches Free Citation Look-up Tool For Bloggers

Lynnfield, MA . February 12, 2008 – Crossref, the association behind the well-known publisher linking network, announced today that it had launched the beta version of a new plug-in that allows bloggers to look up and insert DOI®-enabled citations in the course of authoring a blog.

The plug-in, which is available for download at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/crossref-cite/, allows the blogger to use a widget-based interface to search Crossref metadata using citations or partial citations. The results of the search, with multiple hits, are displayed and the author can then either click on a hit to follow the DOI to the publisher’s site, or click on an icon next to the hit to insert the citation into their blog entry (as either a full citation or as a short “op. cit.”).

According to Geoffrey Bilder, Crossref’s Director of Strategic Initiatives, “Crossref is helping jumpstart the process of citing the formal literature from blogs. While there is a growing trend in scientific and academic blogging toward referring to formally published literature, until now there were few guidelines and very few tools to make that process easy.”

At present, the Crossref plug-in is available for the WordPress platform, and a Moveable Type version is under development. The tool is designed with the bulk of the functionality contained in a shared back-end hosted at Crossref, making the plug-in GUI readily portable to other blogging and authoring platforms.

About Crossref: Crossref is a non-profit membership association founded and directed by publishers. Its mission is to enable easy identification and use of trustworthy electronic content by promoting the cooperative development and application of a sustainable infrastructure. Crossref operates a cross-publisher citation linking system, and is the official DOI name registration agency for scholarly and professional content.

Crossref Surpasses 30 Million DOI Mark

LYNNFIELD MA, January 2, 2008 – Crossref, the well known linking service, announced today that it had recently registered its 30 millionth DOI. While the majority of Crossref’s Digital Object Identifiers® (DOIs)® are assigned to online journal articles, there are now over 2.5 million DOI names assigned to other types of publications, including conference proceedings, dissertations, books, datasets, and technical reports. Crossref’s dues-paying membership exceeds 500, with over 2,400 publishers and societies participating in Crossref linking.

The 30 millionth DOI, doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.76.055201 was registered by The American Physical Society for their journal Physical Review E.

Crossref adds an average of 550,000 new items every month to its DOI registry and linking service. Of the over 6.5 million DOIs created and assigned during the past year, a large number are associated with archival, or back-file, journal articles, as several large publishers have recently undertaken extensive retro-digitization projects. These include the Royal Society, Elsevier, Springer, Sage, Kluwer, Wiley, Blackwell, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2007 alone, the scholarly journal archive JSTOR added a total of 325,251 DOIs to Crossref.

Other noteworthy deposit events during the past year:

-The Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) of the U.S. Department of Energy deposited more than 86,000 DOE technical reports with Crossref, the earliest report dating from 1933.

-SciELO – The Scientific Electronic Library Online based in Brazil – added over 26,000 DOIs.

-The Persee Program, established by the Ministry of State Education, Higher Education and Research in France, deposited over 30,000 DOIs, of which over 14,000 were for legacy content.

Crossref Grants The Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System Free Access To Crossref Metadata

Tue, 25 Sep 2007 00:00:00 +0000

25 September 2007

Crossref Grants The Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System Free Access To Crossref Metadata

LYNNFIELD MA, September 25, 2007 – Crossref, the organization behind scholarly publishing’s shared linking infrastructure, announced that the Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System (or NASA ADS) had submitted the winning proposal in response to an RFP for Innovative Uses of Crossref Metadata issued in June of this year.

The metadata in Crossref’s database consists of basic bibliographic information for each content item, including author(s), title, journal name, ISSN, volume, issue, page, and DOI-URL pair. It is generally only accessible on a paid subscription basis through Crossref Web Services, a suite of tools for authorized partners to collect the cross-publisher records via an OAI-PMH interface. Crossref issued the Request for Proposals as part of a broader initiative to partner with the academic and library communities on the development of new research tools that process and display article-level data.

The NASA/ADS project, submitted by Drs. Alberto Accomazzi and Michael Kurtz, proposes to use the Crossref metadata to add DOI® links-to-fulltext to millions of records in the ADS database and to facilitate the exchange of information between the ADS and the various publishers whose content it indexes. In addition, the ADS will share its own data with Crossref as a basis for alerting Crossref of missing items and possible data errors.

About the ADS: ADS is a NASA-funded project housed at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics which maintains three bibliographic databases containing more than 5.8 million records: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics, and arXiv e-prints. The main body of data in the ADS consists of bibliographic records, which are searchable through its Abstract Service query forms, and full-text scans of much of the astronomical literature which can be browsed though a Browse interface. Integrated in its databases, the ADS provides access and pointers to a wealth of external resources, including electronic articles, data catalogs and archives.

Crossref Lowers Back-File Deposit Fee to 12 Cents, Creating Incentive for Registration of Older Publications

LYNNFIELD MA, August 9, 2007 – Crossref, the non-profit publisher association and citation linking service, announced that it is lowering its fee for registration of back-file content. From now through the end of 2008, Crossref will charge only 12 cents per back-file record, as opposed to the 17-cent fee that is has charged for the past several years, amounting to a 30% discount.

The move comes as part of a larger push for Crossref to expand its already impressive coverage of older research publications. Of the 28 million-plus Digital Object Identifiers® (DOIs)® registered with Crossref to date, over 400,000 point to resources published in the 17th, 18th, or 19th centuries. The Oldenburg Epistle Dedicatory, dating from 1665 and published in the first volume of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, is the earliest publication linkable via Crossref DOI.

According to Amy Brand, Crossref’s Director of Business and Product Development, “several larger academic publishers are in the process of digitizing all of their archival material or have already done so, and Crossref would like to insure that its fee structure enables smaller publishers and societies to participate in the growing web of interlinked historical research content.”

Crossref will continue to charge a $1 fee for registration of current content items, where “current” refers to works published within the last three years. Crossref’s various deposit fees have remained unchanged or been reduced for several years running. Crossref registers approximately 15,000 unique content records each day.

Crossref Pilots Cross-Publisher Plagiarism Detection Service

Lynnfield, MA. August 1, 2007 – Crossref, the association behind publishing’s preeminent shared digital infrastructure, announced today that it had entered into an agreement with iParadigms (http://www.iparadigms.com/), the company that runs Turnitin and iThenticate, to develop a system that allows scholarly and professional publishers to verify the originality of submitted and published works. The service, when it is launched, will be called “CrossCheck.” Six leading academic publishers have agreed to allow their full-text content to be indexed for the pilot, and to test the service along several measures.

The six participating publishers are: the Association for Computing Machinery (http://www.acm.org/), BMJ Publishing Group Ltd. (http://bmjgroup.bmj.com/), Elsevier (http://www.elsevier.com), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (http://www.ieee.org), Taylor & Francis (http://www.taylorandfrancisgroup.com/), and Wiley-Blackwell (http://www.wiley.com).

According to Ed Pentz, Crossref’s Executive Director, “We’re quite excited about the launch of the CrossCheck pilot. For the first time we are applying the principles of publisher collaboration beyond reference linking. Crossref is in a unique position to help create a comprehensive database of published academic content because of its broad membership. CrossCheck will be a valuable service for our publishers enabling them to verify the originality of content. But the real beneficiaries of the service will be researchers and scholars who want trustworthy online content. On the technology side, iParadigms is the leading provider of the technology that we need.”

John Barrie PhD, President and CEO of iParadigms, adds: “We are honored to be working with some of the most prestigious academic publishers in the world to create a service designed to improve the quality and integrity of STM research. CrossCheck is the next logical evolution of the technology behind Turnitin – a service that has already become part of how secondary and higher education work.”

Headquartered in Oakland, CA, iParadigms, LLC (http://www.iparadigms.com) is the leading provider of web-based solutions to check documents for originality and plagiarism. The company’s products include Turnitin, an internet service used by tens of millions of students and faculty for the digital assessment of academic work, and iThenticate, an internet service which enables companies to determine originality and check documents for misappropriation.

Crossref Surpasses 25 Million DOI Mark

LYNNFIELD MA, February 13, 2007 – Crossref, the citation linking service, announced today that over 25 million content items had been registered in the Crossref system since its inception in early 2000. Although the majority of these Digital Object Identifiers® (DOIs)® are assigned to online journal articles, there are over 2 million DOI strings assigned to conference proceedings, components and books, at the chapter as well as title level. Crossref has also been supporting assignment of DOIs to technical reports, working papers, dissertations, standards, and data elements.

The 25 millionth DOI, 10.1093/fh/6.1.106, was registered by Oxford Journals, Oxford University Press, for their journal French History.

Crossref hit the 10 million DOI mark back in January of 2004, after roughly four years in operation. Since then, the rate of growth in DOI creation across the scholarly publishing community has accelerated considerably, with the next 10 million DOIs being created and registered in just over two years. Last April Crossref registered the 20 millionth DOI string and less than a year later there are over 25 million DOIs in the Crossref system.

Of the five million DOIs created and assigned during the past year, a large number are associated with archival journal articles. The Royal Society, for instance, recently registered its complete journal back-file. In so doing, it joins several Crossref member publishers who have recently completed, or are in the midst of, vast retro-digitization initiatives, including Elsevier, Springer, Sage, Kluwer, Wiley, Blackwell, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and JSTOR, among others.

Crossref To Add Hundreds Of Journals From Africa and Asia

Lynnfield, MA. December 5, 2006 – Crossref, the multi-publisher linking association, announced today that it had reached agreement with three new partners to include journals from Africa and Asia in its linking network.

The three international organizations collaborating with Crossref are the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP) (http://www.inasp.info), the National Inquiry Services Centre (NISC) http://www.nisc.co.za and African Journals OnLine (AJOL), http://www.nisc.co.za.

INASP, an international NGO working to promote scientific publishing in developing countries, will initially register journals from Nepal and Vietnam, while NISC will register its entire list of South African-based academic journals and bibliographic databases. AJOL, a fast-growing, independent journal aggregator, currently represents over 260 multi-disciplinary journals from 21 African countries. Crossref Executive Director, Ed Pentz commented, “For some time Crossref has been exploring how it could partner with publishers and journal publishing initiatives in regions of the world where scholarship and publication output are less accessible. We believe offering Crossref’s services on an affordable basis to qualified publishers in these regions links them with the global research literature and raises global visibility of and access to these journals.”

According to Pippa Smart, Head of Publishing Initiatives at INASP, which is a registered educational charity in the UK, “For journals that are largely invisible to most of the scientific community, the importance of linking cannot be overstressed. We at INASP are therefore delighted to be working with Crossref to promote discovery of journals published in the less developed countries. We believe that an integrated discovery mechanism which includes journals from all parts of the world is vital to global research - benefiting not only the editors and publishers in Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America with whom we work, but countless other citizens in those countries as well.”

Crossref Announces Web Services Agreement With Microsoft

Lynnfield MA, July 12, 2006 – Crossref, the cross-publisher linking network with over 1,600 participating publishers, announced today that it had reached an agreement with Microsoft Corp. who will become the first official Crossref Web Services Search Partner. Crossref will provide Microsoft with a bulk feed of metadata from hundreds of participating Crossref member publishers.

Crossref Web Services offers an easy-to-use tool for authorized search partners to collect metadata on a cross-publisher basis to streamline web crawling. The program also provides standard terms and conditions for search engines using the cross-publisher metadata available through Crossref. Just as the core Crossref linking service removes the need for bilateral linking agreements among publishers, the Search Partner Program removes the need for bilateral agreements covering use of metadata between publishers and search providers. Participation in Crossref Web Services is optional for Crossref member-publishers.

“We are very happy to have Microsoft as the first Crossref Web Services Search Partner and we look forward to adding other partners in future,” said Ed Pentz, Executive Director of Crossref. “Crossref’s mission is to enable researchers and scholars to get to authoritative primary content and Crossref Web Services will enable this to happen by streamlining the delivery of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for persistent linking and authoritative metadata.”

“Microsoft is dedicated to working cooperatively with industry associations such as Crossref, who have made it their mission to help students and researchers quickly find authoritative academic research,” said Danielle Tiedt, General Manager, Windows Live Premium Search at Microsoft Corp. “We are excited to support Crossref’s Web Services as we both strive to streamline and enhance the online research experience.”

Microsoft is using Crossref Web Services to assist in the indexing of scholarly content for Windows Live Academic Search, a beta of which was launched in April 2006. This new search service is designed to help students, researchers and university faculty conduct research across a spectrum of academic journals. The program is a cooperative effort between Windows Live Search, Crossref, and several leading publishers. Windows Live Academic Search can be found at http://academic.live.com.

30 October 2006

Crossref Simple-Text Query Service Officially Launches

LYNNFIELD, MA – October 30, 2006 Crossref, the reference-linking network for scholarly and professional publishers, is pleased to announce the launch of its freely available Simple-Text Query service to facilitate DOI look-up for researchers and publishers. In partnership with Inera, Crossref has deployed a custom version of Inera’s eXtyles refXpress™ that parses unstructured, simple-text references into granular and valid XML and returns any matching DOIs for those references. The interface has been running on a more limited, trial basis since February of this year.

The link to the Simple-Text Query service is featured on Crossref’s homepage, www.crossref.org. A simple cut-and-paste form accepts references formatted in a wide range of bibliographic styles and returns the DOI for the publication if one is found in Crossref. One or more references may be pasted into the form on this page. For editorial purposes, users can easily check the accuracy of a reference by clicking on the returned DOI and viewing the bibliographic information available directly from the publisher. Bruce Rosenblum, CEO of Inera, commented, “We’re delighted to partner with Crossref, providing technology that does not require structured references and produces immediate results.”

In addition to serving researchers who wish to check references and add DOIs prior to publication, many smaller publishers experience this interface as a viable alternative to Crossref’s XML-based batch query interface. According to Amy Brand, Crossref’s Director of Business and Product Development, “We have seen with the Simple-Text Query trial that more publishers are now able to implement reference linking. Crossref serves a very broad range of publishers, including many members with limited resources and technical expertise, and we are always striving to lower the technological barriers to full participation in Crossref for our members.” The member-only version of the service will soon include a file-upload capability as well.

About Inera Inc. - Since 1992, Inera (http://www.inera.com) has focused on supplying sophisticated editorial and production solutions to the publishing industry. Inera’s eXtyles® product family provides integrated tools for Microsoft Word and content management systems that automate editorial, reference linking, and XML production processes. eXtyles products are used in the production of over five hundred prestigious journals worldwide.

Over Half a Million Book DOIs Now Registered In Crossref

Mon, 30 Oct 2006 00:00:00 +0000

Over Half a Million Book DOIs Now Registered In Crossref

Lynnfield, MA June 1, 2006 Crossref, the reference-linking service for scholarly and professional content, announced today that it had surpassed the half-million mark in the number of book title and chapter DOIs registered in its database. By virtue of being in Crossref, these books and chapters are readily inter-linkable with the 20 million-plus other content items (mainly journal articles) publishers have registered. This enables the reader of online works to go directly from a journal article to a cited book chapter, or vice versa, just by clicking on a reference.

Crossref has been adding books and major reference works (MRWs) to its cross-publisher linking network since 2004. Any scholarly or professional book can be registered at the title or chapter level, and registration of works with multiple chapters is steeply discounted. OUP’s Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (ODNB, at http://www.oxforddnb.com) is one example of an MRW containing DOIs assigned at the granular entry level; the ODNB alone contains over 65,000 DOIs. Other publishers actively registering books with Crossref include Springer-Verlag, Taylor & Francis, Elsevier, the American Psychological Association, Humana Press, Karger, and John Wiley & Sons.

According to Craig Van Dyck, Vice President of STM Operations at Wiley, “Crossref has a done great job of enhancing the online journal literature with reference linking and other important functionality. Now Crossref is making significant progress with the scholarly book literature as well. Books are more complex and so will require commitment by Crossref members to provide users with the linking functionality that they desire and that Crossref can enable. Multiple Resolution, with DOIs pointing to a variety of relevant resources and linking options, is especially important for books.”

Crossref began offering Multiple Resolution “Crossref-MR” – services on a trial basis late last year. The majority of today’s DOIs employ single resolution, where a DOI is associated with one URL that typically points to online content at a publisher website. Crossref-MR makes links more intelligent by providing a standardized way of associating a variety of resources with a DOI and making links to those resources available to many different services. Crossref-MR thus enables the dissemination of enriched, publisher-controlled linking information, which can be pulled in and used by A&I databases, subscription agents, OpenURL resolvers, and other third parties. Crossref envisions widespread use of Crossref-MR as instances of content being hosted in multiple locations increase. Other applications include linking to supplemental or related information, and to purchase options and rights clearance services.

26 April 2006

Over Crossref Surpasses 20 Million DOI Mark

LYNNFIELD, MA, April 26th, 2006 – Crossref, the citation linking service, announced today that over 20 million content entities had been registered in the Crossref system since its inception in early 2000. The majority of these Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) are assigned to online journal articles. However, over 1.6 million DOIs are assigned to conference proceedings and books, at the chapter as well as title level.

Within the past year, Crossref began supporting assignment of DOIs to technical reports, working papers, dissertations, standards, and data elements. Among the DOIs most recently registered in Crossref are persistent identifiers for 38,000 protein description pages within the Protein Data Bank, and 27,000 working papers published by the Social Science Research Network.

JSTOR, the scholarly journal archive, has added as of today over 640,000 DOIs to Crossref. According Michael Spinella, JSTOR’s Executive Director, “We are pleased to be working with Crossref to register DOIs on behalf of many of the publishers that contribute content to the JSTOR archive. Many of the journals included in JSTOR stretch back to the nineteenth century, and it is exciting to increase the pathways to this material through stable and persistent links. This begins the realization of a goal we have heard expressed by all the communities we work with: publishers, libraries, and scholars.”

The 20 millionth DOI, http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/BC.2006.059, was registered by de Gruyter publishing, for their journal Biological Chemistry.

14 February 2006

Crossref Launches Free-Text Query Trial Service

LYNNFIELD, MA – February 14, 2006 - Crossref is very pleased to announce a new trial service for its member publishers. In partnership with Inera, Crossref has deployed a custom version of Inera’s eXtyles® refXpress that parses unstructured, free-text references into granular and valid XML and returns any matching DOIs for those references.

The Free-Text Query form is now available to members on a trial basis cut-and-paste form accepts references formatted in common bibliographic styles and returns the DOI for the article if one is found in Crossref. One or more references may be pasted into the form on this page; each reference must begin on a new line.

Crossref invites member input on their experiences using this pilot service (a link to a feedback form is provided from the FTQ site). Our hope is that some smaller publishers will experience this interface as a viable alternative to Crossref’s batch query interface and that, as a result, more publishers will be able to implement reference linking using Crossref. According to Crossref member Ian Michael of IM Publications, “This is absolutely fantastic. We have been looking for a way to incorporate DOIs cost-effectively into our references and have failed, until now.”

Crossref serves a very broad range of publishers, including many members with limited resources and technical expertise. Some Crossref members have been slow to begin reference linking due to technical limitations, underscoring the need for a free-text query method of retrieving DOIs in order to facilitate compliance with Crossref reference-linking policies.

Crossref Web Services and Search Partner Program Enhance Web Searching for Scholarly Content

Crossref Web Services and Search Partner Program Enhance Web Searching for Scholarly Content

London, U.K., 30 November 2005 - Crossref, the independent cross-publisher linking service, announced today two forthcoming initiatives that will enhance the way search engines index scholarly content: Crossref Web Services and the Search Partner Program.

Crossref Web Services will create an easy-to-use tool for authorized search and web services partners to gather metadata to streamline web crawling. The Crossref metadata database contains records for the more than 18 million items from over 1,500 publishers, the majority of whom are expected to choose to participate in this optional new service. The Crossref Search Partner program provides standard terms of use for search engines, libraries, and other partners to use the metadata available from Crossref Web Services – terms that promote copyright compliance and the important role published works of record play in scholarly communication.

Crossref Web Services also provides search partners with a map to published scholarly content on the Web. In this way, it functions as a notification, or “ping”, mechanism for the publication of new content. Alerting crawlers to new or revised content to be indexed greatly reduces the need for ongoing re-crawling of publisher sites. “Search engines want better ways to gather standard, cross-publisher metadata to enhance their search indexes. Publishers want to streamline the way they provide metadata to a growing number of partners. Crossref Web Services and the Search Partner Program fill this void,” said Ed Pentz, Executive Director of Crossref. “With Crossref repurposing parts of its metadata database and using common protocols like standardized XML and OpenURL (and SOAP, RSS and other protocols in future), these services can significantly enhance indexes.”

Mr. Pentz continued, “Just as the core Crossref linking service removes the need for bilateral linking agreements among publishers, the Search Partner Program removes the need for bilateral agreements covering use of metadata between search engines and publishers. Libraries, search engines, publishers, and researchers will all benefit as the high-quality structured metadata collected by Crossref becomes an easily available web resource with template terms and conditions of use.”

These new services from Crossref will improve search results by enabling the use of the digital object identifier (DOI), in all search results. Crossref DOIs provide persistent links to scholarly content, helping users get to the authoritative, published version of the content they are searching for, even when the content changes location or ownership. Crossref’s OpenURL interface (one of the first OpenURL resolvers to be fully compliant with the new NISO OpenURL 1.0 standard) is already in place and in use by a growing number of libraries.

More information will be forthcoming in early 2006 when these exciting new services launch.

DOE/OSTI Joins Crossref to Assign DOIs to Technical Reports

Lynnfield, MA, February 3, 2005 – Crossref, the reference-linking service for scholarly and professional content, is pleased to announce that the Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) has joined Crossref. OSTI plans to assign Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to its Information Bridge platform, which currently contains 94,000 scientific and technical reports.

Information Bridge serves as an open source to full-text and bibliographic records of DOE research in physics, chemistry, materials, biology, environmental sciences, energy technologies, engineering, computer and information science, renewable energy, and other topics. It consists of full-text documents produced and made available by the Department of Energy National Laboratories and grantees from 1995 forward. Additional legacy documents are also included as they become available in electronic format.

“We are pleased to join Crossref in pioneering this first-of-a-kind government-private partnership,” said Dr. Walter Warnick, director of OSTI. “We believe that coupling the vast resources available at Information Bridge with the reference-linking capabilities of Crossref will advance OSTI’s mission of making DOE research results more accessible.”

OSTI is the largest provider of so-called “gray literature” to join Crossref since Crossref moved late last year to include publishers of working papers and technical reports among its members. Other new Crossref members who are registering working papers or reports include the Social Science Research Network and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.

According to Crossref Executive Director Ed Pentz, this is all part of Crossref’s mission “to provide the most robust citation linking network possible, cutting across publishers, business models, and content types.” The 14.3 million DOIs registered in Crossref to date point mainly to journal articles, books, chapters, and conference proceedings. Among its 350 members, Crossref already includes several open-access publishers. Within the coming year, Crossref plans to extend its content coverage to standards and datasets as well.

OSTI’s mission is to advance science and sustain technological creativity by making R&D findings available and useful to DOE researchers and the American people. OSTI has been delivering science information since 1947. With its suite of Web tools, OSTI has proved to be a leader in government science search.

Crossref™ Search Pilot Now Includes 29 Publishers, 3.4 Million Research Articles

LYNNFIELD, MA, September 21, 2004 – Crossref, the reference-linking service for scholarly publishing, announced today that its pilot initiative in collaboration with Google has added 20 additional publishers during the past four months. There are now 29 publishers participating in the Crossref Search pilot that includes over 3.4 million scholarly research articles. Users can search the full text of high-quality, peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, monographs, and other resources covering the full spectrum of scholarly research. “The involvement of so many publishers highlights the value of the Crossref Search pilot. The pilot provides targeted, interdisciplinary, cross-publisher search that makes it easier to find relevant research material,” said Ed Pentz, Executive Director of Crossref. “In addition to adding new publishers, Crossref has started to get very valuable feedback on the pilot service from researchers, librarians, and scientists.” Crossref Search is available to all users, free of charge, on the websites of participating publishers, and encompasses current journal issues as well as back files. The results are delivered from the regular Google index but filter out everything except the participating publishers’ content, and links to the content on publishers’ websites via DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) or regular URLs. Crossref itself doesn’t host any content or perform searches – Crossref works behind the scenes with Google to facilitate the crawling of content on publishers’ sites, and sets the policies and guidelines governing publisher participation in the initiative. As well as enabling Crossref Search, the partnership with Google means that full-text content from the publishers is also referenced by the main Google.com index in its more general searches. Participating publishers include:

American Physical Society
Annual Reviews Ashley Publications
Association for Computing Machinery
BioMed Central
Blackwell Publishing BMJ (British Medical Journal) Publishing Group
Cambridge University Press
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press
FASEB (Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology)

Publishers participating in the Crossref Search pilot are surveying users of the tool on an on-going basis. “Initial responses are very positive and suggest that Crossref Search is meeting or exceeding user expectations. Some users have indicated a desire for more publishers’ scholarly material to be included—something we are working toward with the addition of 20 publishers,” added Mr. Pentz.

The Crossref Search pilot began in January 2004 with nine publishers. It will run through the end of 2004 to evaluate functionality and to gather feedback from scientists, scholars and librarians for the purpose of fine-tuning the program. Participating publishers are also investigating how DOIs can be used to improve indexing of content and enable persistent links from search results to the full text of content at publishers’ sites. Crossref Search may work with other leading search technologies in the future.

Crossref™ and Atypon Announce Forward Linking Service

Tue, 08 Jun 2004 00:00:00 +0000

08 June 2004

Crossref™ and Atypon Announce Forward Linking Service

LYNNFIELD, MA – June 8, 2004. – Crossref, the cross-publisher reference linking service, and technology partner Atypon announced today the launch of Crossref’s new Forward Linking service.

In addition to using Crossref to create outbound links from their references, Crossref member publishers can now retrieve “cited-by” links – links to other articles that cite their content. This new service is being offered as an optional tool to allow Crossref members to display cited-by links in the primary content that they publish.

According to Ed Pentz, Crossref’s Executive Director, “Forward Linking is a natural extension of the Crossref linking network and will provide a better online reading environment for researchers and scholars.” Several publishers, including John Wiley & Sons, the American Physical Society, Blackwell Publishing, Annual Reviews, Institute of Physics Publishing, and the American Geophysical Union, have stated that they will participate and will complete their implementations of the new service later this year.

As part of the same functionality powered by Atypon, Crossref is also offering a new Forward-Match feature that eliminates the need for users to query Crossref repeatedly for citations that do not initially return a match. When a query is marked to enable alerts, the Crossref system automatically sends an email containing the matched results once the relevant content gets registered in Crossref.

Georgios Papadopoulos, President of Atypon, states: “Forward Matching offers online publishers truly dynamic linking. Publishing systems can now retrieve the latest linking information directly from Crossref as soon as the information is available.”

Forward Linking and Forward Matching represent a major upgrade to Crossref’s scientific and scholarly linking network. With these developments, Crossref publishers now have access to full citation chains and truly dynamic citation linking, better enabling researchers to cross system boundaries as they navigate the research literature online.

Atypon is a leading software and services provider for the STM/scholarly information community, providing business-to-business solutions designed to help publishing companies leverage the Internet. Find out more at www.atypon.com.

Crossref™ Launches Pilot Program of Crossref Search, Powered By Google

New Initiative Enables Cross-Publisher, Full-Text Searches of the Latest Medical and Scholarly Research

Lynnfield, MA, April 28, 2004 – Crossref announced today a new initiative that enables users to search the full text of high-quality, peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and other resources covering the full spectrum of scholarly research from nine leading publishers. Called Crossref Search, this new pilot program utilizes the collaborative environment of Crossref, the reference-linking service for scholarly publishing, and Google™ search technologies.

Crossref is very excited to work with Google on this pilot program. Researchers, scientists and librarians should find Crossref Search a valuable search tool,” said Ed Pentz, executive director of Crossref. “Now, researchers and students interested in mining published scholarship have immediate access to targeted, interdisciplinary and cross-publisher search on full text using the powerful and familiar Google technology,” Mr. Pentz continued. “Crossref Search, like Crossref itself, breaks down barriers between publishers on behalf of research and library communities.”

Crossref is an independent membership association (currently it has 300 members), founded and directed by publishers. Its general mission is to facilitate access to published scholarship through collaborative technologies. Specifically, Crossref operates a cross-publisher citation linking system that enables a researcher to click on a reference citation in a journal on one publisher’s platform and link to the cited article at another publisher’s platform. In this way, Crossref functions as a sort of digital switchboard. It holds no full text content, but rather effects linkages through DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers), which are tagged to article metadata supplied by the participating publishers. A DOI allows for persistent linking, because once material has been given a DOI it never changes, unlike a URL which becomes obsolete when it is moved. The end result is an efficient, scalable linking system. More information about Crossref is available at http://www.crossref.org.

Crossref Surpasses 10 Million DOI Mark

LYNNFIELD, MA, January 19, 2004 – Crossref, the cross-publisher reference linking service, announced today that it has surpassed the 10 million DOI mark. This million-mark milestone is significant because over 10 million content items have been registered in the Crossref system since 2001. The majority of these DOIs are assigned to journal articles. However, Crossref is also registering DOIs for a wide variety of content types, including several hundred thousand conference proceeding and book DOIs already in its database.

The 10 millionth DOI registered was http://dx.doi.org/10.1265/ehpm.8.184 from the Japanese Society for Hygiene.

Among the other content types now included in Crossref are the new Molecule Pages produced by Nature Publishing Group and the Alliance for Cellular Signaling. To see a DOI in action from the Molecule Pages, click on http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/mp.a000111.01 (for username/password, please use mp_user/molecule).

Growth in Crossref has been steady and significant. According to Ed Pentz, Crossref’s Executive Director, “Growth in DOI links is also expected to continue increasing at a steady rate because of Crossref’s ability to integrate with the OpenURL and our recent decision to drop DOI retrieval fees in 2004.” To date 265 publishers, 218 libraries, and 36 vendors currently participate in Crossref.

Crossref Drops DOI Retrieval Fees As Steep Growth In Adoption Continues

LYNNFIELD, MA, November 15, 2003 – Crossref, the cross-publisher reference linking service, announced today that it will drop its DOI retrieval fees for all members and affiliates starting in January 2004. This move gives all Crossref users unlimited access to DOIs, and is particularly significant for secondary publishers, as DOI links from citations and bibliographic databases to full text are expected to increase greatly as a result.

The decision by the Crossref Board to drop DOI retrieval fees is the latest strategic move intended to open access to the Crossref system. In May of this year, Crossref made library accounts on its system completely free. According to Ed Pentz, Crossref’s Executive Director, “Crossref is always evolving. Our linking network ranges across all scholarly and professional disciplines, serves libraries at no charge, and by dropping DOI retrieval fees, will better suit the needs of secondary publishers. Crossref will continue to evolve, but our mission won’t change – to improve the user’s experience in navigating content online.” Crossref integrates with the OpenURL, and several local linking platforms now incorporate it; these include ExLibris, Serials Solutions, SISIS, Endeavor, Fretwell Downing, SIRSI, and Openly Informatics.

Crossref continues to experience dramatic membership growth. Fifty scholarly and professional publishers have signed on in the last six months alone, bringing the total members to 250. Some of the newest members are: University of California Press, Walter de Gruyter, Ashley Publications, the International Journal of Psychoanalysis, the Human Factors & Ergonomics Society, the National Strength & Conditioning Association, ASTM International, Guilford Publications, the Society for Neuroscience, the Canadian Academic Accounting Association, the Japan Endocrine Society, the American Marketing Association, the European Association of Cardiothoracic Surgery, the Indiana University Mathematics Journals, and American Scientist.

Smaller publishers, in particular, are seeing obvious gains from participating in a global interlinking network. According to Bohumir Valter, Editorial Manager of the Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, an interdisciplinary chemistry journal published by the Czech Academy of Sciences: “After two years in Crossref, we see a significant increase in traffic to our journal website, meaning that the articles published in our journal are more accessible than before thanks to the reference linking service.”

Additionally, several hundred thousand book and conference proceeding DOIs have been added to the Crossref system, including 700 books from Oxford University Press. With these additions, Crossref now covers over 8,700 journals and nearly 10 million individual content items. To see a book chapter DOI in action, click on http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/0470841559.ch1 for an example from John Wiley & Sons, or http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/0198297122.001.0001 for an example from OUP.

Innovative Interfaces Joins Crossref as Affiliate Member

Emeryville, CA, August 5, 2003 - Innovative Interfaces, the leader in information technology for libraries, announced that the company has joined the Crossref organization as an affiliate member. This partnership seamlessly integrates WebBridge—a component of the MAP portal solution—with DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) and Crossref linking to assist libraries in providing complete access to available resources.

Betsy Graham, Vice President, Product Management at Innovative, noted, “Crossref is an important service for libraries, publishers, and software providers. It will enhance resource access and the accuracy of MAP by cross-checking links, expanding content access, and increasing usage of existing content without increasing cost.”

“We at Crossref are delighted to include Innovative Interfaces among our vendor affiliates that service libraries,” said Amy Brand, Director of Business Development at Crossref. “Now that Crossref participation is free to all libraries, and librarians are increasingly sophisticated in their understanding of the DOI’s role in persistent links as well as local link servers, we look forward to ever-widening adoption of the DOI as a standard linking resource.”

MAP (Millennium Access Plus), which manages access to information resources, is made up of three key modules: WebBridge, MetaFind, and Web Access Management. WebBridge offers a smart linking capability, enabling libraries to link information resources together when appropriate. MetaFind is a universal search interface that allows access to multiple resources with a single search, returning all results in a consistent interface. Finally, Web Access Management is a remote-patron authentication tool that links patrons anywhere in the world directly to external Web servers and databases.

Innovative Interfaces is the leader in providing Web-based automated library systems. Innovative’s library automation systems are installed in thousands of libraries in 36 countries around the world. The company is headquartered in Emeryville, California, with offices in Australia, Canada, France, Korea, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United Kingdom.

Crossref Growing Fast as it Signs More Than 200 Members

LYNNFIELD, MA, April 8, 2003 – Crossref, a publisher collaborative that enables researchers to navigate online content via DOI-based citation links, announced today that it has surpassed the 200-member mark – up by 100 publishers in just over a year. In addition, several hundred thousand non-journal DOIs, including books and conference proceedings, have been added to its extensive linking network. With these additions, the Crossref system now covers over 7,600 journals and books, and 7.5 million individual content items.

Crossref’s membership base is highly international and multi-disciplinary. According to Executive Director Ed Pentz, “Reaching 200 members is an important milestone for Crossref. Our rapid growth in just three years includes content from all areas of scholarly and professional publishing and member publishers from around the world.”

Among Crossref’s newest members are: the American Medical Association; Prous Science; Science in China Press; ASM International; Johns Hopkins University Press; and Dartmouth College Library, which joined as a journal publisher. Among the new Library Affiliates are Harvard University Library and Sandia National Laboratories.

Project Muse, which previously announced plans to participate with Crossref in 2003, has become active as a Sponsoring Agent, and SISIS Elektra of Germany has just joined as an Agent as well. Apex ePublishing, Inera Inc., and Parity Computing have all recently signed on as Allied Vendors, with a license to promote Crossref-related services to their clients. A number of other e-publishing service firms and consultants are expected to join in this capacity.

Unlike URLs, which become obsolete when an online entity changes location, the DOI provides a permanent name associated with an object’s location in a readily updateable directory. Most libraries today are implementing local link servers and recognize that DOIs enhance their linking capabilities.

Alluding to the significance of this trend, Pentz adds, “Crossref is very pleased that OpenURL– an important developing NISO standard– and DOI– an existing NISO standard– work together so well to provide effective linking solutions. With 7.5 million DOIs assigned, the DOI has become the standard for identifying and linking peer-reviewed scholarly literature.”

180 publishers can’t be wrong. Crossref harnesses collaboration among publishers to provide the scholarly community with easier access to online research content. As a Crossref member, you have the unique opportunity to benefit both from a business infrastructure for linking with other content providers, and from a technology infrastructure for DOI-based links.

About the DOI. The DOI, or digital object identifier,serves as a persistent, actionable identifier for online content. The DOI itself is a NISO standard and is entirely compatible with the OpenURL. But unlike a URL, which becomes obsolete when an object changes location, the DOI is a permanent name for an object, associated with its location in a readily updateable directory. DOIs can be assigned at any level of granularity, and therefore provide publishers with an extensible platform for a variety of online applications.

Crossref was established by scholarly publishers in 1999 as an independent, non-profit membership association. Membership is open to publishers in all scholarly and professional areas. You can count on affordable, persistent links; increased traffic to your content; and the opportunity to collaborate with other publishers dedicated to enhancing user services.

For more information about membership in Crossref or DOI registration for books, please email info@crossref.org.

**If you are already a Crossref member, remember to: **

-Include DOIs in all data feeds to third parties

-Use DOIs as your preferred means of linking to FT

-Display DOIs in online & print articles as a standard part of bibliographic data

Crossref Launches Version 2.0 of its Reference Linking System and Expands Membership Base

BURLINGTON, MA, September 23, 2002 - Crossref, a publisher collaborative that enables researchers to navigate online journals via DOI-based citation links, announced today the launch of Version 2.0 of its metadata database resolution service as well as expansion of its publisher and affiliate memberships.

Development of the new system began in 2001, when Crossref joined forces with Atypon Systems (www. Atypon.com) for their superior technological capabilities in the e-publishing industry. Thanks to the system’s robust “fuzzy” logic, there has been a significant increase in positive query results. This second-generation system uses a scalable architecture and the latest Web technologies, resulting in more resolved queries and expanded reference content.

Chuck Kosher, Director of Technology for Crossref, says, “In just the first three weeks of operation, the system’s overall matching rate approached 25% on almost 2.3 million queries. This is a remarkable increase over the old system, which typically had about a 4% matching rate.” Version 2.0 also supports the new Crossref XML Deposit Schema, which provides a more robust vocabulary for journal metadata and conference proceedings. Reference material can now be deposited. Members will have Web access to a complete set of statistics and reports that detail their deposit and query activity, and the extendable platform readily allows the addition of new features and services.

In addition, Crossref’s membership base continues to grow. It now has 152 members whose content represents over 6,400 journals and almost 5 million article records. Informs, a 12,000-member society representing professionals in the fields of Operations Research and the Management Sciences, is the most recent member. Other key expansion developments include:

Library affiliate program has grown to 49 with the recent addition of NIH.
A linking solutions partner agreement was signed with Fretwell Downing, for their plans to integrate Crossref into their Z PORTAL product offering for libraries that will automatically build links between citation information and digital content.
ProQuest has committed to support linking to the full-text via Crossref, and will be beta testing dynamic retrievals using Crossref’s new system.
Project Muse, which offers subscription access to the full text of more than 200 scholarly journals in the humanities and social sciences, announced it plans to actively participate in Crossref beginning in 2003.

Amy Brand, Director of Business Development for Crossref, says, “These rapid developments show Crossref has become the linking standard for scholarly publications online. Perhaps the best testament to this is end-user clicks on DOI’s, which currently average 1-2 million per month.”

CROSSREF WELCOMES FIVE NEW PUBLISHERS AND FOUR NEW AFFILIATES DURING JULY

BURLINGTON, MA, October 10, 2001 – Crossref, a publisher collaborative reference linking service that enables scholarly researchers and students to navigate move from one online journals citation to another seamlesslyvia DOI-based citation links, is stepping up its cross-publisher linking initiatives.

According to Amy Brand, Director of Business Development, “Crossref is committed to providing the scholarly community with an increasing number of linked journals, a wider selection of connected information sources beyond journals and STM content, and a vehicle for greater collaboration amongst publishers, librarians, and vendors.” Brand has been instrumental in Crossref’s membership growth since joining in April 2001. Embracing internal system improvements as well as member and affiliate member outreach, Crossref has implemented the following developments:

A prototype solution to the “appropriate copy” problem combining OpenURL, Crossref, and Ex Libris’ SFX localized linking technologies to redirect DOI links to a library’s local holdings.
Partnering with Atypon Systems – a Santa Clara, CA-based software and business services company for the STM information arena – in a comprehensive upgrade to Crossref’s linking capabilities.
Extending its services to books and conference proceedings, using an XML XSDschema developed for Crossref by Inera, an SGML and XML consulting and software services company specializing in STM publishing, based in Newton, MA., and improve on the existing journal linking capabilityAtypon Systems, a Santa Clara, CA-based software and business services company for the STM (Science, Technology, and Medicine) information arena will implement the capabilities. Crossref expects to begin registering DOIs for conference proceedings and book citation linking in early 2002.

Crossref now has 83 members and 23 affiliates from the library and information communities. Among recent publishers to join are the Massachusetts Medical Society, which publishes The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), one of the most highly cited journals in the STM publishing industry; BioMed Central, an independent publisher providing biomedical researchers with free access to more than 50 peer-reviewed online journals; S. Karger AG, medical and scientific publishers since 1890 and Sage Publications, extending Crossref’s journal coverage well into the humanities and social sciences. This brings the total number of Crossref- enabled journals to 5,100, encompassing over 3.5 million article records.

Crossref Goes Live: Journal Reference Linking Service Membership Roster Grows to 33 Publishers

BURLINGTON, Mass.–June 5, 2000–Ed Pentz, Executive Director of Crossref, today announced that the first links enabled by the collaborative reference-linking service have been activated on the World Wide Web.

“Crossref is now well on its way to becoming the comprehensive source for linking journal articles. The reference links that researchers want and need are starting to appear,” said Mr. Pentz.

Mr. Pentz reported that as of today, ten of the member publishers have submitted more than 1.3 million article records in about 2,700 journals to Crossref’s Metadata Database. Submission of the records is the first step of the multi-step process; Crossref members then use this information to enable the links from references in their journal articles to other publishers’ content. Approximately 1,100 journals now have live reference links enabled by Crossref; examples are Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (Elsevier), Brain Research (Elsevier), Cancer (Wiley), European Journal of Biochemistry (Blackwell), Journal of Comparative Neurology (Wiley), Journal of Investigative Dermatology (Blackwell), Journal of Molecular Biology (Academic), Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology (Springer), and World Journal of Surgery (Springer). Crossref enabled links will appear in a few different formats, depending on the preferences of each publisher (for example, Crossref button or “Article” in html). In the coming weeks and months, a constantly increasing number of records will be submitted and live reference links will appear.

According to Mr. Pentz, eleven publishers have recently joined Crossref, bringing the current total to 33 member publishers. These include:

American Chemical Society
American Geophysical Union
American Physical Society
Annual Reviews
Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers
British Medical Journal
CAB International
Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE)
Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.
The Royal Society
Thieme Verlag

Active discussions are underway with many more scientific and scholarly primary journal publishers to expand this broad-based, industry-wide initiative, which was initially announced in November 1999.

Crossref is operated under the aegis of the not-for-profit organization jointly formed by the member publishers and incorporated as PILA. Its Board of Directors includes Eric A. Swanson, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Chairman (NYSE:JW.a); Pieter Bolman, Academic Press, Treasurer (NYSE:H); Michael Spinella, AAAS; Marc Brodsky, American Institute of Physics; John R. White, Association for Computing Machinery; John Strange, Blackwell Science; John Regazzi, Elsevier Science (NYSE:ENL)(NYSE:RUK); Anthony Durniak, IEEE; Jeffrey K. Smith, Kluwer Academic Publishers; Stefan Von Holtzbrinck, Nature Publishing Group; Martin Richardson, Oxford University Press; and Ruediger Gebauer, Springer-Verlag.

Crossref operates behind-the-scenes by enabling member publishers to add reference links to their online journals. Users of the online journals see, click on, and follow the links directly to the content; there is no visible Crossref interface. Publishers control access to their content. Crossref is run from a central facility operated by Publishers International Linking Association, Inc. (PILA), and utilizes the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to ensure permanent links.

Once the service is fully launched, more than three million articles across thousands of journals will be linked through Crossref, and more than half a million more articles will be linked each year thereafter. Such linking will enhance the efficiency of browsing and reading the primary scientific and scholarly literature. It will enable readers to gain access to logically related articles with one or two clicks – an objective widely accepted among researchers as a natural and necessary part of scientific and scholarly publishing in the digital age.

Crossref Update Journal Reference Linking Service Names Executive Director, Board of Directors, New Members, and a “Go Live” Timetable

New York, N.Y. February 2, 2000. A group of leading scientific and scholarly publishers today announced the appointment of Ed Pentz as Executive Director of Crossref, the collaborative reference-linking service announced on November 16, 1999. Mr. Pentz, who will be based in Burlington, Massachusetts, assumed his new position on February 1.

“The reference links enabled by Crossref will be of great benefit to scientists. I am looking forward to moving ahead quickly to implement the service and to signing up more publishers so that Crossref can be a comprehensive source for linking journal articles,” said Mr. Pentz, who was previously Electronic Business Development Manager at Academic Press.

Mr. Pentz explained that Crossref will be operated under the aegis of a not-for-profit organization jointly formed by the member publishers and recently incorporated as Publishers International Linking Association, Inc. (PILA). He also reported on the election of its Board of Directors, which includes Eric A. Swanson, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Chairman; Pieter Bolman, Academic Press, Treasurer; Michael Spinella, AAAS; Marc Brodsky, American Institute of Physics; John R. White, Association for Computing Machinery; John Strange, Blackwell Science; John Regazzi, Elsevier Science; Anthony Durniak, IEEE; Jeffrey K. Smith, Kluwer Academic Publishers; Stefan von Holtzbrinck, Nature Publishing Group; Martin Richardson, Oxford University Press; and Ruediger Gebauer, Springer-Verlag.

According to Mr. Pentz, Cambridge University Press, Marcel Dekker Inc., the Royal Society of Chemistry, Portland Press, the American Mathematical Society, and the American Psychological Association have recently joined this innovative initiative, bringing the current total to 22 member publishers. Active discussions are underway with many more scientific and scholarly primary journal publishers to further broaden this industry-wide initiative.

Crossref is scheduled to launch during the first quarter of this year. Mr. Pentz said that the multi-step process will begin next week when member publishers begin to submit information about their journal articles to the Crossref metadata database. In the weeks and months that follow, live reference links will begin to appear gradually, as member publishers use Crossref to enable them to add reference links in their journal articles to other publishers’ content.

Crossref will operate behind-the-scenes by enabling member publishers to add reference links to their online journals. Users of the online journals will see, click on, and follow the links directly to the content; there will be no visible Crossref interface. Publishers will control access to their content.

09 December 1999

Reference Linking Service Announces Name - More Scientific and Scholarly Publishers Join Crossref Publishers Join Crossref

London, England. 9 December 1999 A group of leading scientific and scholarly publishers today announced a name for their reference linking service to link their journal articles Crossref as well as the names of four more publishers who have joined this innovative initiative.

The University of Chicago Press, the Institute of Physics Publishing, World Scientific, and Taylor & Francis will be joining this unprecedented cooperative effort, which also includes Academic Press, a Harcourt Science and Technology Company (NYSE:H); American Association for the Advancement of Science (the publisher of Science); American Institute of Physics (AIP); Association for Computing Machinery (ACM); Blackwell Science; Elsevier Science (NYSE:ENL) (NYSE:RUK); IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.); Kluwer Academic Publishers (a Wolters Kluwer Company); Nature Publishing Group; Oxford University Press; SpringerVerlag; and John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (NYSE:JWa) (NYSE:JWb).

Active discussions are underway with many scientific and scholarly primary journal publishers to make this a broadbased, industrywide initiative. More are expected to sign on before the service launches during the first quarter of 2000. Crossref was initially announced on November 16.

Commenting on Crossref, Robert Shirrell, Journals Manager, The University of Chicago Press, said, “Reference links are a critical part of the utility of electronic publications. This linking service, a voluntary cooperative effort based on an open standard, provides the means for enhancing electronic publications across all scholarly fields.”

Jerry Cowhig, Managing Director, Institute of Physics Publishing, added, “One of the key objectives of the Institute’s Royal Charter is the dissemination of scientific information to physicists worldwide. This exciting, collaborative initiative will further that objective and help us to realize our vision of edistributed publishing. By working together publishers should at last achieve seamless linking between online content, wherever it resides.”

Doreen Liu, Managing Director, World Scientific, said, “This is the most exciting initiative from the STM group of publishers I can remember during my 18 years in the business. World Scientific was set up with the objective of serving the scientific community and I believe this initiative will greatly enhance our ability to do so.”

Researchers will be able to move easily from a reference in a journal article to the content of a cited journal article, typically located on a different server and published by a different publisher. At the outset, more than three million articles across thousands of journals will be linked through Crossref, and more than half a million more articles will be linked each year thereafter. This will enhance the efficiency of browsing and reading the primary scientific and scholarly literature. Such linking will enable readers to gain access to logically related articles with one or two clicks an objective widely accepted among researchers as a natural and necessary part of scientific and scholarly publishing in the digital age.

Crossref will be run from a central facility which will be managed by an elected Board and will operate in cooperation with the International Digital Object Identifier (DOI) Foundation. It will contain a limited set of metadata, allowing the journal content and links to remain distributed at publishers’ sites. Each publisher will set its own access standards, determining what content is available to the researcher following a link (such as access to the abstract or to the full text of an article, by subscription, document delivery, or payperview, etc.). Crossref is being organized as a not-for-profit entity to safeguard the independence of each participating publisher to set their own access standards and conditions.

The service, which is based on a prototype developed by Wiley and Academic Press, was developed in cooperation with the International DOI Foundation and builds on work by the Association of American Publishers and the Corporation for National Research Initiatives. It takes advantage of the DOI standard and other World Wide Web standards and Internet technology. By taking a standards based approach the international initiative is confident that the sophisticated demands of the readers of scientific and scholarly journals for linking of references can be implemented broadly and rapidly.

PLEASE NOTE: There will be an update and presentation on Crossref on Friday, 10 December 1999, from 15:15 to 16:00 at the Copthorne Tara Hotel, Scarsdale Place, London W8 5SR. tel +44 171 937 7211 (Underground: High Street Kensington). Senior executives from among those publishers who are the initial participants will take questions. The press is invited to attend this session of the STM Innovations Seminar, which will include a project demonstration, a status report, and a question and answer period. For more information, contact Chris Gardner at +44 171 496 3318.

Reference Linking Service to Aid Scientists Conducting Online Research

Reference Linking Service to Aid Scientists Conducting Online Research

Scientific and Scholarly Publishers Collaborate to Offer Ground-Breaking Initiative

New York, N.Y. November 16, 1999 - Twelve leading scientific and scholarly publishers announced today that they are collaborating on an innovative, market-driven reference-linking initiative that will change the way scientists use the Internet to conduct online research. The reference-linking service represents an unprecedented, cooperative effort among Academic Press, a Harcourt Science and Technology Company (NYSE:H); American Association for the Advancement of Science (the publisher of Science); American Institute of Physics (AIP); Association for Computing Machinery (ACM); Blackwell Science; Elsevier Science (NYSE:ENL) (NYSE:RUK); The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE); Kluwer Academic Publishers( a Wolters Kluwer Company); Nature; Oxford University Press; Springer-Verlag; and John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (NYSE:JWa) (NYSE:JWb). It is expected to launch during the first quarter of 2000.

Researchers will be able to move easily from a reference in a journal article to the content of a cited journal article, typically located on a different server and published by a different publisher. At the outset, approximately three million articles across thousands of journals will be linked through this service, and more than half a million more articles will be linked each year thereafter. This will enhance the efficiency of browsing and reading the primary scientific and scholarly literature. Such linking will enable readers to gain access to logically related articles with one or two clicks – an objective widely accepted among researchers as a natural and necessary part of scientific and scholarly publishing in the digital age.

The reference-linking service will be run from a central facility which will be managed by an elected Board and will operate in cooperation with the International Digital Object Identifier (DOI) Foundation. It will contain a limited set of metadata, allowing the journal content and links to remain distributed at publishers’ sites. Each publisher will set its own access standards, determining what content is available to the researcher following a link (such as access to the abstract or to the full text of an article, by subscription, document delivery, or pay-per-view, etc.). The service is being organized as a not-for-profit entity to safeguard the independence of each participating publisher to set their own access standards and conditions.

The service, which is based on a prototype developed by Wiley and Academic Press, was developed in cooperation with the International DOI Foundation and builds on work by the Association of American Publishers and the Corporation for National Research Initiatives. It takes advantage of the DOI standard and other World Wide Web standards and Internet technology. By taking a standards-based approach the international initiative is confident that the sophisticated demands of the readers of scientific and scholarly journals for linking of references can be implemented broadly and rapidly.

Representatives of the participating publishers and the International DOI Foundation are in active discussions with other scientific and scholarly primary journal publishers to make this a broad-based, industry-wide initiative. Through the reference-linking service publishers will have an easy, efficient and scalable means to add links to their online journals.

Interviews will be arranged upon request.

QUOTE FROM DR. PIETER BOLMAN, PRESIDENT OF ACADEMIC PRESS “Using open standards will allow any primary publisher to easily participate in the reference-linking service while retaining control of their content. Linking in this way enables ‘virtual aggregation’ and removes the need for libraries to have multiple electronic subscriptions to the same content through different vendors. Readers of online journals will be able to go directly from references to the original content at publishers’ sites.”

“The Foundation is very pleased to see the commitment to implement DOIs in this large-scale application by major publishing houses way so soon after we have defined a framework for such applications. Scientific communication is founded on persistent links between articles - citations - which create a permanent record of the relationships between scientists’ publications. Building a system that embodies these links using unique persistent identifiers, actionable on the Web, is an excellent implementation of the DOI.”

For research funders

Ginny Hendricks — Fri, 16 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Connect your grants and grantees with their published outputs

We collect and share metadata about published research—such as Funder IDs, ORCID iDs, licenses, clinical trials, and retractions—all of which helps funders measure reach and return.

Our members register DOIs and bibliographic metadata with us for journal articles, preprints, books, peer reviews, and more. As part of that activity they can also include information on who funded the research. Funder names and identifiers are taken from our funder registry so that supporting organizations can be correctly and consistently identified and acknowledged.

We make this information available via a funder search interface and via our public REST API so that it can be seamlessly integrated into systems downstream. Crossref metadata is the bedrock for many thousands of platforms and services from search and discovery to research and assessment tools.

Watch the video below to find out more:

As the video shows, we take this largely unstructured grant data, and help the research community match products and people to funding. In turn, funders use this metadata to track the impacts of their investment, and understand similar investments made by other funders.

Grant Identifier pilot

Whilst the scholarly community has adopted standard persistent identifiers (PIDs)—for people (e.g. ORCID), content (e.g. DOIs, PMIDs), and soon organizations (The OI Project) including funders (Open Funder Registry)—the record of the award is not captured in a consistent way across funders worldwide. And they are not easily linked up with the literature or the researchers or the institutions. We think this system can work even more smoothly and accurately if we harmonized grant identifiers.

The first rule of grant identifiers is that they include awards, use of facilities, sponsorship, and any form of support provided to a research group. If funders assigned DOIs to grants, funders with different information systems can create an open and interoperable grant identifier system for minimal cost. Together with DataCite and ORCID we are working with our Funder Advisory Group to test such a system on a global scale. Part of that work is to agree on a sustainable business model along the lines of our current approach for content registration, and to build a widget that will allow manuscript tracking and measurement systems to integrate grant identifiers.

With 17549 funding organizations in the Open Funder Registry, we need to find a way for all of them—small and large, private and government—to register their grants, whilst making it easy for researchers to include this information in their submissions to publishers and data repositories.

Robert Kiley and Nina Frentrop of Wellcome explain in their guest blog post the benefits of an open and global grant identifier system:

Currently, researchers are typically asked to manually disclose what outputs have arisen from their funding. In the future, such disclosures would be fully automated. We are already seeing how publishers—who collect ORCIDs through their manuscript submission system—automatically update the author’s ORCID record with details of new publications. If a global ID system for grants was developed, publishers and repositories could also require these to be disclosed on submission, and this data could then programmatically be passed to researcher assessment platforms, like ResearchFish.

Some of the use cases funders are looking at for Grant IDs

Multi-country funding e.g. the Australian Research Council wants to know which other countries their awardees get additional funding from.
Government vs. private funding relationships e.g. which private funders work with which governments to support what kind of research?
Co-funding e.g. which other funders do my grantees tend to receive support from as well as us?
Portfolio analysis e.g. a funder invests in centers and individual scientists; which effort generates more products?

If each of the 17549 funders in the funder registry were to adopt such a system and expose their grant metadata in a consistent, machine-readable way, it would facilitate the development of applications to help funders get a greatly enhanced picture of the global funding landscape, which in turn would inform strategic planning and resource allocation.

Please read our blog post for background information about the grant ID project and contact Ginny Hendricks with any questions.

Recommendations for journals

Patricia Feeney — Tue, 14 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Our metadata is used for both discovery and display - your metadata should include all available citation metadata plus any funding, license, etc. data you are able to provide.

Metadata specifics:

Include all authors associated with an article in your metadata, along with each author’s ORCID and affiliation information.
Authors should be supplied in the correct order: the first author should be flagged as ‘first’, and additional authors flagged as ‘additional’. Also, although we don’t currently support numbered order for author names, the sequence in which an author is included in a deposit is the sequence the name will appear in displays using our metadata.
If an organization is considered the author of a document, the organization name should be included as a contributor in the aptly named element.
Journal article deposits should include JATS-formatted abstracts.
Include page and/or article numbers
Include month and day as well as year in publication dates
Make sure special characters are UTF-8 encoded
Make sure your page, issue, and volume numbers don’t include extra dashes
Deposit references for your journal articles, and allow your references to be distributed.
Deposit title-level DOIs for journals deposited with Crossref. COUNTER requires title-level DOIs, and they (combined with an ISSN) make your journal easier to identify.
Your journal title and ISSN should be consistent across deposits

Journal titles

You should assign a title-level identifier to your journal.
A distinct identifier should be created for each version of a title deposited with Crossref.
Any changes requiring a new ISSN should result in a new title-level identifier as well.
A title-level identifier should resolve to a page that displays the same title and ISSN (when available) recorded in your metadata.

Good behavior:

You should only create one record/identifier per item. If content changes hands, the record and identifier(s) should move to the new owner as well.
Publication title ownership is enforced. If you have recently acquired a title from another Crossref member, make sure we know about by following our title transfer procedures.

Recommended journal metadata

Patricia Feeney — Thu, 04 Aug 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Metadata elements you need or should consider

Must have

You won’t be able to make a deposit without these pieces of metadata.

Journal title: the full title of the journal
ISSN: all ISSN assigned to the journal. If an ISSN is not available, you must supply a journal title DOI.
Article title: title of the article being deposited
Publication date: year of publication, month and day are optional but strongly recommended if you publish them

Should have

These elements are optional to accommodate differences in publication practices (not all articles have page numbers, for example) but they are essential to describing your content, and must be included in Crossref deposits if you want your metadata to be effective.

Issue number: issue number or descriptor (1, 2, spring, fall)
Volume number: journal volume number
Contributors: all authors of an article, including organizations that have authored an item.
Given name: the first name of an author
Surname: the family name of an author, also used for authors with a single name
ORCID: the ORCID iD assigned to an author
Affiliation: an author’s affiliation
Suffix: the suffix of an author (e.g. Jr., Sr., III)
Page numbers: page numbers are essential for identifying an article
Article numbers: if a work does not have ‘pages’ an article number should be deposited
Journal abbreviation: common abbreviation of the journal title (you can include multiple abbreviations if you have them)
Coden: not used for all journals but if you have it, please include it in your deposits
Abstracts: members using JATS may include their JATS-formatted abstracts in deposits
Supplemental materials: you can assign DOIs to supplemental materials as components
Reference lists: include lists of references in your deposits, you can (and should) opt to have them publicly distributed
Funding data: include funder names, identifiers and grant/award numbers in your deposits
License data: include license URLs and dates in your metadata
Crossmark: includes article status (current, withdrawn, errata info) as well as any custom metadata you want associated with your articles

Introducing metadata for peer review

Tue, 05 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0000

05 June 2018

Crossref facilitates the use of essential peer review information for scholarly communications

The new exposure of peer review information through its public API provides opportunities for discoverability, analysis, and integration of tools.

In response to requests from the community for flexible registering of peer review content (and associated discussions of published content), Crossref has extended its infrastructure to not only support the registration of this content, but also the easy retrieval, use and reuse of it, through its public API. This is a major advancement for the discoverability and usability of peer review reports.

Late last year, after collaboration with like-minded member organizations, Crossref opened a new deposit schema to enable the registration of peer reviews, referee reports, decision letters, author responses, and community comments. Metadata to characterize both the peer review type and stage—to accurately reflect the history of the review—can now be deposited and searched for.

Metadata for over 10,000 peer reviews is now openly available and easily retrievable for analysis and integration into other tools and services, through Crossref’s public API.

Peer review metadata is critical to the research enterprise and we’re pleased to extend the Crossref open infrastructure to address this need. Making pre- and post-publication peer reviews available in the Crossref scholarly map will support the persistence and discovery of critical discussions about published research. It will further credit reviewers and editors for their contribution as well as support publishing transparency and provide data for analysis and research on scholarly communications.
– Jennifer Lin, Crossref Director of Product Management

Organizations such as BMJ, ASAPBio, PeerJ, and ScienceOpen have been driving the development of peer review content registration. They recognize the importance of persistent records for peer review content; and understand this supporting metadata enriches scholarly discussion, reviewer accountability, transparency, and peer review analysis.

Stephanie Dawson, CEO of ScienceOpen, notes:

Rich metadata is absolutely key to discoverability - for research articles, preprints, books, conference proceedings, and now for peer review reports. At ScienceOpen we offer our users a Crossref DOI for every review they publish on our platform on any of 42 million articles and preprints. With their new schema Crossref is making those reviews easier to identify and find, which translates into more impact for researchers and publishers.

As the data is not subject to copyright and no sign-up is required to use it, anyone can retrieve the information necessary for their own integration and analysis. Institutions and researchers will now be able to build a stronger picture around the role of the peer review in scholarly communications as a whole, in addition to identifying and assessing their own contributions.

ASAPbio Director, Jessica Polka explains their position:

Peer review is an important form of scholarship, and it deserves to be published, cataloged, uniquely identified, and linked to other pieces of the scholarly record. Therefore, Crossref’s offering enables peer review to be treated in a way that reflects its importance in improving the quality of knowledge.

Quick to respond to the shifting needs around scholarly communications, Crossref is committed to the expansion of their infrastructure to support the demands of scholarly progression and scientific discovery. The availability of peer review data is just one of the many progressions the nonprofit organization has made in recent months to aide facilitation of transparency and governance, and to put research in context.

New Metadata Plus service launching

Tue, 14 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000

15 November 2017

Crossref introduces new Metadata APIs ‘Plus’ service offering new features and richer metadata

Machine access to millions of records about research outputs is now even easier

During its Annual Meeting, LIVE17, in Singapore today, Crossref announced a new paid-for service from January 2018 for machine access to metadata along with guaranteed uptime and priority support, with notifications of new matching records and ‘snapshot’ downloads to be added in the first quarter.

Publishers register content with Crossref by depositing metadata so that they don’t have to make bilateral agreements with third parties, or each other. Crossref makes this metadata openly available via APIs so that people and machines around the world can incorporate it into their tools and services to aid research. This metadata can be retrieved via a choice of APIs to find, cite, link, and assess research outputs. It means that publishers only have to send the metadata to one place to have their content discovered and used by the thousands of tools and services that rely on Crossref as a source of information about research outputs.

Ginny Hendricks, Director of Member and Community Outreach at Crossref, comments “We receive over 600 million queries each month through our various human and machine interfaces and this is only rising. We’re a sustainable community-governed not-for-profit, so this widespread use of our APIs helps the entire scholarly community rely on a single shared source of metadata, and create robust, persistent and accurate citations to and between our members’ content. The new Plus service marks a significant milestone for Crossref as we place strategic emphasis on serving the users of our metadata.”

Jennifer Kemp, Head of Business Development at Crossref, explains “Crossref’s 92 million (and counting) metadata records provide information about about journal articles and preprints, books and book chapters, conference proceedings, standards, datasets, and reviews. And it’s not just bibliographic metadata—references, Cited-by counts, funding data, license information, full-text links, ORCID iDs, abstracts, and retractions and corrections—are all available, if included in publisher metadata. This metadata remains free and open through Crossref’s public APIs. Starting January 2018, anyone—from publishers, funders, research institutions, and others—can choose to pay an annual fee for guaranteed uptime, dedicated support, and soon after, volume downloads and notifications.”

Kudos is the first organization to sign up. David Sommer, Co-Founder and Product Director, says “Our service has always ingested Crossref bibliographic metadata to reduce manual data entry for our users. We’re excited to now be adding Crossref citations to the range of metrics we compile for users, and we’re also pleased that Crossref is strengthening the services associated with its API.”

Other early adopters in the first couple of weeks include: Reprints Desk; Science-Metrix; ScienceOpen; and Technical Information Center of Denmark (DTU Library).

Crossref now accepts preprints

Wed, 02 Nov 2016 00:00:00 +0000

02 November 2016

Crossref now accepts preprints

Crossref completes infrastructure to support DOIs for preprints, and linking to best available version

Crossref, the not-for-profit member organization for publishers, announced today that it is now accepting the registration of Crossref DOIs for preprints. The key decision is to acknowledge that preprints are a valuable part of the research story, and ensure that authors’ own or institutional repository versions can be linked up with any eventual version on a publisher’s site.

In July 2015, the Crossref board voted to change its membership rules to reflect inclusion of “pre-publication” content. Crossref already accepted working papers and technical reports.

In 2016, Crossref has been implementing changes to its systems to accept preprints. This will clearly identify them, and ensure they can be linked to the accepted manuscript.

This work will also ensure:

links to these publications persist over time
preprints are connected to the full history of the shared research results
the citation record is clear and up-to-date

As this graphic suggests, Crossref preprints will have their own nexus of connections, in terms of references and citations, with other preprints and articles. When these preprints become articles, they will then create another connection, to the article itself. The metadata will always maintain a clear record of connection between the new references and citations, and those they accrued as preprints.

Ed Pentz, Executive Director, said: “Based on the needs of our members the board approved adding preprints as a content type in the Crossref system. This enables Crossref to maintain a clear and comprehensive citation record and lets researchers more easily identify when different documents are related”.

Martyn Rittman, from Preprints, operated by MDPI added: “Preprints.org is delighted to be the very first to integrate the Crossref schema for preprints. We believe it is an important step in allowing working papers and preliminary results to be fully citable as soon as they are available. It also makes it easy to link to the final peer-reviewed version, regardless of where it is published. Thanks to the hard work of Crossref and clear documentation, the schema was very simple to implement and has been applied retrospectively to all preprints at Preprints.org”.

Jessica Polka, Director, ASAPbio said: “ASAPbio is a scientist-driven community initiative to promote the productive use of preprints in the life sciences. We’re thrilled to see Crossref’s development of a service that enables preprints to better contribute to the scholarly record. This infrastructure lays a necessary foundation for increasing acceptance of preprints as a valuable form of scientific communication among biologists”.

26 March 2015, Lynnfield, MA – Crossref, the global not-for profit digital hub for scholarly communications, is pleased to announce the addition of Ginny Hendricks to its management team in the newly-created role of Director of Member and Community Outreach, where she will be responsible for marketing, business development, member services, and product support. The appointment reflects Crossref’s mission to innovate for the future of scholarly content, and to foster collaboration among an increasingly diverse community of publishers, researchers, authors, libraries, funders, and beyond.

Executive Director, Ed Pentz, says:

I’m very pleased Ginny is joining the Crossref team; her international experience, background in scholarly publishing, and digital marketing expertise, make her the perfect person to spearhead the Crossref brand, lead outreach around the world, and contribute to our ongoing success.

Ginny Hendricks says:

Crossref is indispensable to the reliable running and progression of scholarly communications and its scope is broadening to accommodate changing publisher needs and serve the wider communities. I’m excited to work with some great people and to be able to contribute to such a central part of scholarly publishing.

Ginny has run Ardent Marketing for nine years where she consulted with publishers to develop multichannel marketing plans, brand and launch online products, and build engaged communities. Prior to consulting she managed the launch of Scopus at Elsevier, where she established advisory boards and outreach programs with library and scientific communities. In 1998 Ginny started an early e-resources help desk for Blackwell’s information Services and later led training and communication programs for Swets’ digital portfolio in Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. She’s lived and worked in many parts of the world and has managed globally dispersed creative, technical, and commercial teams. She co-hosts the Scholarly Social networking events in London, and is considering finishing her Master’s of Science in Digital Marketing Communications. Ginny will start on Monday 30th March and can be reached via twitter @GinnyLDN or email ginny@crossref.org.

ORCID launches Crossref and DataCite Auto-Update

Thu, 26 Mar 2015 00:00:00 +0000

26 October 2015

ORCID launches Crossref and DataCite Auto-Update

Researchers can now opt to have their ORCID record automatically updated when their work is made public

ORCID, the non-profit organization that is working to address the name ambiguity problem in scholarly communications by providing a registry of persistent identifiers for researchers, today announced the launch of Auto-Update functionality, in collaboration with Crossref and DataCite.

Now, ORCID registrants who use their unique ORCID identifier (iD) when submitting a manuscript or dataset can opt to have their ORCID record automatically updated when their work is made public.

In addition, other systems that have integrated the ORCID registry and connected a researcher’s ORCID record – their faculty profile system, library repository, webpage, funder reporting system – can also choose to receive alerts from ORCID, allowing research information to move easily and unambiguously across multiple systems.

Crossref and DataCite, both non-profit organizations, are leaders in registering DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers - a unique alphanumeric string assigned to a digital object) for research publications and datasets. Each DOI is associated with a set metadata and a URL pointer to the full text, so that it uniquely identifies the content item and provides a persistent link to its location on the internet. Between them, Crossref and DataCite have already received almost a half a million works from publishers and data centers that include an ORCID iD validated by the author/contributor. With Auto-Update functionality in place, provided the researcher includes her/his ORCID iD at submission, information about these works can transit (with the researcher’s permission) to her/his ORCID record.

ORCID Executive Director, Laure Haak, warmly welcomed this new development: “Auto-update’s benefit to scholarly communications is something that publishers, librarians, funders, and researchers can all agree on: it is a game changer.”

Ed Pentz, Executive Director of Crossref, agrees: “This integration with ORCID and our ongoing collaboration with DataCite aims to build on existing infrastructure, tying systems together to save time for researchers. We have a drive to encourage even more publishers to deposit ORCID iDs with us and would like to invite people to a webinar to learn more”.

And Patricia Cruse, Executive Director of DataCite adds: “We all share the goal of “good science” and making it easier for researchers to share their work is a big part of that goal. By ORCID, Crossref and DataCite working together on Auto-update we are able to provide an easy way for researchers to further expose their work.”

More information is available on the ORCID blog. Please contact our communications team with any questions.

... <query enable-multiple-hits="false" secondary-query="author-title" key="key1"> <article_title match="fuzzy">Concluding remarks</article_title> <author search-all-authors="true">Somiari</author> </query> <query enable-multiple-hits="false" secondary-query="author-title" key="key1"> <article_title match="fuzzy">Off-line Approaches</article_title> <author search-all-authors="true">Gustafsson</author> </query> ...

When performing a bulk upload using HTTP POST, the value of the HTTP parameter ‘operation’ must be doQueryUpload (please see Using HTTP to POST files).

This service by default returns only one DOI record per query. As with other metadata queries if the system finds more than one possible DOI the results are considered ambiguous and thus no results are returned. The user may override the one result rule and request that multiple hits may be returned.
When performing XML queries, an author-title query may be submitted as a secondary query if the initial full metadata query is unsuccessful.
Only the <author> and <article_title> elements should appear in an author / article title query - if other elements are present, the query will be performed as a full metadata query.

Best practice for maintaining DOIs

Best practice for maintaining Crossref DOIs

Displaying Crossref DOIs

Follow Crossref DOI Display guidelines.
DOIs, along with volume, issue and page numbers, should be part of the standard bibliographic metadata for an article
DOIs should be displayed in bibliographic headers for online AND print articles
The DOI should be an active link
Include information about using DOIs in your instructions for authors. For an example, see the information Nature provides for authors about Advanced Online Publication.

Maintaining DOI and metadata {style=“line-height: 19px; “}

Update URLs when needed
Review reports regularly to identify issues
redeposit DOIs with new metadata options (ORCID, funding) whenever possible.

Best practice for querying

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Best practice for querying

Journal Titles & ISSN - One of the most powerful features of the Crossref system is its fuzzy matching processes. Consequently we strongly encourage the use of journal title as an identifier instead of ISSN. Queries that supply only ISSN tend not to resolve as well as those that supply just journal title or both title and ISSN. ISSN is essentially treated as a number resulting in the need to perform an exact match on the text string representation. Very little normalization can be done. Title however is a very complex value that can be normalized in several ways giving the matching function more options as it seeks to locate the proper DOI.

Use XML - XML is the preferred format to use when sending queries into the Crossref system. This format is more precise, offers more functionality and is extensible. All new query features will only be offered through the XML format. Support of the legacy pipe’d format will continue but it will not be extended. See Querying with XML.

Include complete metadata - include all available metadata in your query whenever possible.

Bulk metadata formats

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Bulk metadata formats

Crossref will distribute the entire metadata repository to CMS subscribers. The data is made available using two transaction models. Each model produces a slightly different format of data.

FTP/HTTP of ZIP Archives

In this model Crossref produces an XML file for each title containing all DOIs for that publication. The files are built to the Crossref output schema (schema | documentation).

Crossref runs daily and weekly processes that create files containing new or updated DOIs during these periods. The files are then combined into a compressed archive (Zip’d Unix tar files). The archives are stored in a set of 7 daily folders, named day0 through day6, and 4 weekly folders, named week0 through week3. After 7 days the daily runs reuse the folders overwriting the older daily data while after 4 weeks the weekly run overwrites the oldest weekly data. A control file is used to indicate to which folders the most recent runs wrote their data. In addition, once a month a ‘full’ run is made that produces a file for each title that contains all DOIs, regardless of when they were deposited or last updated.

In the XML <publication> element the attribute ‘filedate’ defines the date when this data was created and the attribute ‘mode’ defines the production mode as daily,weekly or full. On each <doi_element> record the attribute ‘citationid’ is an internal database key used for the DOI and ‘datestamp’ is the date when the DOI was deposited or last updated (useful in weekly or full mode)

CMS Basic for additional information and sample data

OAI-PMH

OAI-PMH is a protocol for metadata harvesting and a full description is available at www.openarchives.org. To summarize, this protocol defines a set of HTTP requests that allow a harvester to interact with a repository to pull selective metadata or all available data. Normally, an OAI-PMH compatible repository provides free and open access to its data. Crossref however has implemented an access control mechanism based on recipients and their IP address. Each recipient must be registered with Crossref. Crossref member publishers may choose to opt-out for a given recipient. The publishers may also choose to opt-out/opt-in on a title by title basis, making a subset of their metadata available to the specific recipient.

By default all members are set as opt-in, including all titles. When Crossref is made aware that a new recipient intends to subscribe to the PMH service a window of time will be allowed for members to decide to opt-out, if they take no action the default opt-in settings will be applied.

Dublin Core (DC) is the standard format for metadata distribution by a PMH compliant repository. However, DC is not expressive enough to represent the full metadata available in Crossref. While DC is not currently support by Crossref’s PMH interface we will likely add support in the near future to achieve compatibility with the specification. Our PMH currently generates data formatted using our Unified XML schema (schema | documentation).

Each record retrieved through the PMH interface will have the complete metadata as deposited by the publisher for that DOI. Crossref’s repository supports a two level hierarchical set organization. At the top level are the publisher sets where the set identifier is the DOI prefix for the publisher. The next level is the publication title level where the set identifier is an internal value assigned by Crossref for the publication.

All PMH identifiers are DOIs expressed using the IETF RFC 4452 “The ‘info’ URI Scheme for Information Assets with Identifiers in Public Namespaces” (see the info-uri registry).

CMS Enhanced for additional information and sample data

Crossref Affiliates

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Crossref Affilates

Crossref’s Affiliate programs are for organizations that are not primary publishers but want to retrieve Crossref DOIs and bibliographic metadata for persistent linking to publisher full text. A range of affiliate programs are available. More information is available on the Crossref website.

Funding data

Kirsty Meddings — Sat, 25 Feb 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Linking research funding and published outcomes

Funding data is used by funders to track the publications that result from their grants.

Publishers can contribute by depositing the funding acknowledgements from their publications as part of their standard metadata. The deposit should include funder names, funder IDs, and associated grant numbers.

Funder names from acknowledgements should be matched with the corresponding unique funder ID from the Funder Registry, a curated list of over 13,000 international funding bodies.

Funding data can be searched via our funder search interface or programmatically via our REST API. This data not only clarifies the scholarly record, but makes life easier for researchers who may need to comply with requirements to make their published results publicly available.

How to collect and register funding data

Ask authors to submit the names of their funder(s) and grant numbers when they submit their manuscript or
Extract funder names from the text of accepted manuscripts
Match funder names to their corresponding Funder ID in the Funder Registry
Deposit funder name(s), ID(s) and grant number(s) for each DOI with Crossref. Visit our support site for funding data schema and guidelines
- You can register funding data as a stand alone deposit (useful for backfiles) or as part of your standard metadata deposit (for current content)
Make use of our search interfaces and REST API to retrieve metadata for your own analysis, or to check the metadata we hold for your publications.

Please contact our support team with any questions about depositing or retrieving funding data.

Copy guidelines

Ginny Hendricks — Sun, 08 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000

This guide helps to establish a consistent tone-of-voice across all Crossref content. Cutting or replacing superfluous words is a key component to improving our voice. We must edit ourselves mercilessly and cut, cut, cut.

Content and tone

Start from scratch instead of copying/pasting from the old website. This is imperative. Do not read the old website while writing content for this site.
Write in the first person, so “we” the writer (Crossref person) and “you” the reader. You will rarely need to write the word “Crossref” as the context is already set by being within the Crossref website. Don’t be inhuman and boring by repeating “Crossref” everywhere…
If you have yet to complete a section and you need to come back to it, label it with the string TK a journalistic habit meaning there is something more “to come”. Please do not forget to come back to it. You can search in atom.io for TK within certain folders (cmd+f). You can also search for your name as author.
Write in short sentences. More than ten words per sentence is usually too many. Aim for 6-8. Try removing words up until the last point the meaning remains
Use words that are easily translatable to other languages. Use short, clear words. Avoid idiomatic expressions
Use action verbs like “get”, “need”, “tell” (e.g. rally, tag, run, play, make…) and limit the use of adjectives
Try to say it aloud and if it sounds natural in conversation then it’s probably fine.
Be friendly. Not frivolous, just professionally friendly. There is usually no need for exclamation marks if the content is good.
Be humble. It’s possible you don’t know everything.
Don’t be too slick. We are not a corporation, it’s a good thing to not sound promotional

Crossref phrases

Read through and re-use phrases from already approved wording such as for our truths, our mission, become a member, and member-obligations.

Encouraged words and phrases

Metadata. We need to own this word.
We have a service called Content Registration. Please talk about registering content, the content you have registered, content that’s been registered with us, etc.
Community (not just members). Members and users or members and others in the community.

Discouraged words and phrases

Crossref. Say we or our. Yes, try to not write Crossref, the context is already set by being on our website.
Publishers. We have members - they are not all publishers. For real. We actually interact with way more people than just our members. We have a community of users so try members and users or community, including members.
Instead of DOI deposit say metadata deposit.
Deposit. It’s usually fine but try send or share
Instead of DOI assignment say Content Registration.
Instead of DOI try to say “metadata” or more generically “persistent identifier” (lowercase). Only use DOI if you are specifically talking about the resolver or the construction of the link/string.
Don’t use “Requirements” or “rules”. We only have “obligations” now. Remember we are a community of people on a mission, not a corporation.
- Note that obligations are different than “Best practice.” Obligations are requirements for participation in something at all. “Best practice” are guidelines on how to participate in something well.
Ecosystem. Try community or landscape instead
Don’t use Publishers International Linking Association, Inc. (PILA) or PILA. Ever. - we are always Crossref
Mint or minting. DataCite does that - we don’t.
Indexing content. purchasing DOIs - these are not things we do.
We are not a “supplier”, “service provider”, or “vendor”.

Website structure

We are aiming for as few pages as possible in this website. Where can you merge content and ask to remove superfluous pages? We must avoid duplication. We know that people don’t mind scrolling through long pages if it’s well sectioned/formatted and has header anchor links. Speaking of which:
- Check out the tips in each template e.g. the service page templates or the frontmatter temmplate. In general please do not start with a heading as the “title” defined in the frontmatter is already displayed as the heading. Never use an H1 tag (#) as it fights with the page title, always start with an h2 header (##)
- Please limit the use of bold - it’s a bit shouty, instead use bullets or numbering
- Bullets are good when you’re not being specific about a list of e.g. criteria and the list may grow. Numbers are better when you know there are few but important statements or criteria that will be unlikely to grow. E.g. “There are three key attributes of a member” would need a numbered list. “There are many characteristics that define a member” would need a bulleted list
Try to start with the “why this matters” point rather than the “what” or “how”. Don’t just fill in the facts but start with an intro. The first sentence of a page will be highlighted on other pages so it’s important to get to the point upfront
Familiarize yourself with the site map - is what you want to write already on (or could be) in another section or page. We do not need any more duplication. Please search atom for any key phrases you might be using
Note we will not have separate policy pages anymore, we include policies within the relevant service or content type and they will usually come under the heading Obligations and (where appropriate) limitations

Constructing your page

Be friendly. Not frivolous, just professionally friendly. There is usually no need for exclamation marks if the content is good
Don’t start a new page without asking Ginny or being confident in your knowledge of the information architecture. Compare the frontmatter from a related page or ask Ginny or Rosa to check it
Update the date - this is important as it gets displayed as the last modified date at the bottom of every page
Make the author the person who owns the content of the page, even if you’ve written it.
Always try to link to the relevant internal pages across the site. Links are done by putting [the phrase you want linked, in square brackets like this]). Never link the works ‘click here’ or even ‘here’.
Limit use of PDFs, convert to markdown wherever possible. Some things we will provide as downloadable PDFs if they’re heavily designed and supposed to be shared/printed but generally no PDFs is the rule
Put yourself in the position of the reader. What do you think they’ll want to do next? Think about where to link out to elsewhere on the site.
Keep the purpose of the page in mind (is there a call to action at the end?), and remember the audience: mostly non-native-English readers and people new to Crossref
Most pages end with ___ to make a line break and then a please contact line - all email addresses should be generic, not the persona’s name, and should link the team name and the generic mailto, e.g. “‘contact our support team”’

Crossref Publishers deliver win for clinical trial openness

Crossref Publishers deliver win for clinical trial openness

Clinical trials data now linkable with publications

A group of publishers today announced a development to uniquely identify each clinical trial and easily link to related publications for the first time. This will make it easier for health professionals to obtain all the necessary information relating to a clinical trial for their patients, and to ensure transparency for researchers.

The resulting initiative is the culmination of three years’ collaboration between publishers, led by the open access publisher BioMed Central and Crossref, the not-for-profit membership organization who runs a shared scholarly infrastructure.

Daniel Shanahan, Associate Publisher at BioMed Central and Chair of the Working Group, said: “Clinical trials can result in a large number of separate publications, from study protocols through to the results articles and secondary analyses, published in many different journals, sometimes years apart.

“Researchers need access to all of these articles if they are to reliably evaluate bias or selective reporting in the study. Identifying and centrally linking all articles related to each individual clinical trial is imperative, and publishers have an important part to play in ensuring researchers can find the information they need easily.”

This development means that clinical trial numbers (CTNs) can now be linked up with Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs). The information is available through Crossref’s open API and delivered through their Crossmark service, which also allows publishers to highlight key information, such as funding sources and retractions. members deposit metadata with Crossref, who accepts CTNTRNs from the sixteen trial registries endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO).

“Crossref’s mission is to solve precisely this kind of problem, we aim to improve research communications by connecting multiple parties and their metadata” explained Kirsty Meddings, the Product Manager responsible for delivering this. “It’s exciting to see clinical trial info starting to come in. We know from experience that new metadata requests have to start somewhere but we will quickly see a snowball effect as hundreds of other biomedical publishers make the necessary upgrades to their workflows.”

Stephanie Mathisen, Campaigns and Policy Officer at Sense about Science, co-founders of the AllTrials campaign: “AllTrials calls for all clinical trials to be registered and their results reported; anything that improves access to results is a welcome development. We need to be able to find results from all trials on the medicines we use today. This new system will make it easier to find those results that are published in journals and we look forward to seeing it being used widely. More organisations need to join the discussion about missing clinical trial results and, like Crossref and BioMed Central, be part of the solutions.”

Quick Facts:

Three-year effort led by BioMedCentral and Crossref bridges the gap between the initial publication of clinical trial registration to the later publications and secondary analyses.
Health professionals and researchers will now have easy, open access to all the published content related to a clinical trial via the Crossref Crossmark dialogue box.

Crossref to accept preprints in change to long-standing policy

Crossref to accept preprints in change to long-standing policy

Crossref will enable members to register preprints in order to clarify the scholarly citation record and better support the changing publishing models of its members

Crossref will enable registration for preprints by August 2016. Crossref’s original registration policy prevented its members from registering content and assigning Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to “duplicative works.” The new policy means that preprints will have separate DOIs from any later versions that may be registered, according to an announcement from the organization.

Preprint is a term that has several meanings, but in the proposal adopted by Crossref’s Board of Directors it will be defined for Crossref purposes as “original content which is intended for formal publication, including content that has been submitted, but has not yet been accepted for publication.”

Under the new Crossref policy, each preprint will be required to link to any future related versions of the work. Crossref will provide tools to make it easier for members to do that. This process may involve more than one publisher. For example, the publisher of a preprint and the publisher of any subsequent related works may be different.

Geoffrey Bilder, Director of Strategic Initiatives, says “A number of Crossref members are exploring publishing workflows that blur the historically hard distinctions between a draft manuscript, a preprint, a revised proof, an accepted manuscript, the version-of-record, and subsequent corrections and updates, any of which may be used and cited at almost any point in the publishing process.”

Ed Pentz, Executive Director, says “Adapting to the needs of our members, while remaining neutral toward their business models, is critical to Crossref’s fundamental ability to maintain a clear citation record and let researchers easily identify the best available version of a document or research object.”

Community Comments:

Richard Sever, Co-Founder, bioRxiv at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press: “A great initiative from Crossref that will allow readers to distinguish the different versions of an article and navigate between them.”

Neil Jacobs, head of scholarly communications support at Jisc: “This is another example of Crossref playing an increasing important and highly constructive role in scholarly communication. There is a growth in sharing early versions of research papers, and the scholarly record risks being incomplete without a reliable way for these versions to be identified. Crossref has helpfully spotted and provided a solution to address this risk.”

Ian Bannerman, Managing Director, Taylor & Francis Journals: “This is an elegant solution to a thorny problem. By requiring preprints to link to any future related versions, Crossref can offer a fuller picture of the history of a research work. Crossref’s robust infrastructure will ensure that these links are persistent and reliable.”

REST API

Kirsty Meddings — Sun, 29 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Give and get metadata that’s open and useful

Our REST API exposes the metadata that members provide Crossref when they register their content with us. And it’s not just the bibliographic metadata either. Funding data, license information, full-text links, ORCID iDs, abstracts, and Crossmark updates, are all available, if included in members’ metadata.

Numerous tools and services rely on our metadata, be they for search, annotation, sharing, or analysis. Some common tasks for using our REST API include:

Text and data mining (see below)
Auditing funder mandates
Identifying author publications

Many familiar brands use our metadata through this modern machine-interface. Check out the case studies from people like Authorea and SHARE.

Overview

Search, facet, filter or sample metadata from thousands of members via our REST API. The information is continually updated as members update and add to their metadata with us. The REST API helps unlock the value behind the information members are depositing, by making it available to query easily and to integrate into other tools and services.

No sign-up is required to use the REST API, and the data can be treated as facts from members. Therefore it is not subject to copyright and available to use for whatever purpose you may have.

Text and data mining

A pragmatic solution to interrogate content, text and data mining simplifies access for researchers who want to mine and analyze research outputs and content. Because more science and research is being done programmatically, researchers increasingly need to access full-text content for data mining and analysis. Researchers need a way to avoid the hassle of negotiating individual bilateral agreements with publishers, and members needn’t negotiate bilateral agreements with thousands of researchers.

Members can include the Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) for their full text and access indicators (usage license or license waiver) along with the other publication metadata they deposit with Crossref. Including this information in the metadata makes it easy for researchers to access available content.

What are the benefits?

The transaction costs of text and data mining become less of a hurdle for both researchers and members, who spend less time making individual access arrangements and more time researching and publishing. Crossref does not charge a fee for negotiating access for text and data mining.

How does it work?

Here’s how text and data mining with Crossref works:

Step 1: The member deposits the URI for their full text and license/waivers along with other publication metadata at Crossref.
Step 2: The researcher finds content of interest registered with Crossref (e.g., journal articles) using their preferred discovery service.
Step 3: The researcher retrieves metadata for each piece of registered content, including license information.
Step 4: The researcher makes a full-text request from the member.
Step 5: If the member requires it, the researcher must read and click to accept the member’s Terms & Conditions of use via Crossref’s click-through negotiation service.
Step 6: The Publisher grants the researcher subscription rights and returns the full text.

Researchers and text miners can access content URIs and license information via the Crossref REST API.

If you are a publisher and would like to begin depositing URIs and access indicators, please email us at tdm@crossref.org

Multiple resolution

Patricia Feeney — Wed, 04 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Content can travel from place to place online, and it can also live in multiple locations. With Multiple Resolution, you can assign multiple URLs to a single metadata record. Members often use multiple resolution for co-hosted content or content in transition from one platform to another. Instead of resolving directly to a single page a multiple resolution-enabled link will instead land on an interim page. The interim page presents a list of link choices to the end user.

Obligations & Limitations

A single member may register multiple URLs for their content but multiple resolution most often involves coordination between multiple parties. One member needs to deposit the DOIs and metadata as the primary depositor. The primary depositor is typically the DOI prefix owner of the content being registered, and will commit to maintaining the metadata record. If second (or third) parties are involved, they will only be able to add and update secondary URLs for existing records.

Multiple resolution interim pages can be set up for an entire DOI prefix or for individual titles. Members should supply an interim page template for their Multiple Resolution content.

Getting started

You’ll need to let us know who and what content is involved in your multiple resolution project, and send us your interim page and of course your additional URLs. Steps to implement are available in our Get Started guide.

Co-access

Madeleine Watson — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Sometimes, book content can live in several locations as many small book publishers use multiple aggregator platforms to host their online content. This can often result in confusion over who assigns a DOI to the content on the aggregators platform, especially when the book publisher chooses not to assign their own DOI. This is where Co-access can help. This feature of our Content Registration Service allows multiple Crossref members to register content and create DOIs for the same book content; both whole titles or individual chapters.

For all Co-access registered prefixes, we’ll match DOI deposits with near identical metadata (for example, matching ISBNs and titles) and enter them into a Co-access relationship where matches are found between participating members. All deposits will initially resolve to a Co-access landing page, allowing users to select their preferred hosting location.

This means that there can be multiple DOIs registered for the same book title or chapter, and all deposits will be linked together. Ultimately this helps to give our book publisher and aggregator members greater flexibility to host content within a timeframe and in a location which suits them best.

Who is Co-access for?

Co-access is for any Crossref member who faces the challenge of assigning DOI identifiers to book content that is distributed across a number of different platforms. Crossref members who aggregate or host book content on behalf of other Crossref members can contact us to request that their prefix be added to the Co-access group for each member they work with.

Benefits

Co-access enables book publishers and aggregators of book content greater flexibility to register book content with Crossref when the content is hosted on different platforms and there is no way to determine who will be the first platform to register the content with Crossref.

Why can’t book publishers and their content aggregators use Multiple Resolution to solve their distributed content needs?

Multiple Resolution works well for our journal content because each publisher is obliged to assign DOIs to their journal content, as per their Crossref membership agreement. Once the publisher assigns a DOI, any other approved aggregator is then able to add their own resolution URL into the publisher’s deposit metadata using our Multiple Resolution feature. However book publishing is different. Many of our members will in addition to publishing journal articles, also produce book content. Members are not obliged to deposit DOIs for their book titles in the same way they are for journal articles, and many prefer not to do so as they often do not host the content themselves on their own platform. Instead, book content is often provided by the publisher to a number of content aggregators who then distribute the publisher’s content across a wider online environment. Without a publisher DOI, aggregators are not able to share their hosting location information.

These aggregators and third-party platforms are often Crossref members themselves with a desire to either participate in Multiple Resolution with the publisher, or to deposit their own DOIs for book content they host in cases where the publisher chooses not the make their own deposit. Co-access therefore provides members who host content on behalf of other Crossref publishers, with the flexibility to deposit identifiers and metadata for content hosted on their own platforms, in a timeframe which suits them best.

How to register for Co-access

Prefixes must be pre-registered for Co-access in order to participate. Crossref members who host/aggregate book content on behalf of other Crossref book publisher members can register their prefix, and those of the book publishers they work with, for Co-access by completing the Co-access Registration Form.

Before registering, aggregators should please ensure they have spoken with each book publisher they work with about Co-access deposits and have collected the following details before completing the registration form:

Your Crossref membership information (i.e your prefix/s)
The name, prefix/s and contact details of each Crossref book publisher member you work with
Your company logo file, formatted according to these dimensions
The logo file for each publisher

Obligations and fees

Standard Crossref deposit fees apply. There is no additional fee to participate in Co-access.

FAQs and technical support

For more information or support, please see our comprehensive Co-access FAQs or take a look at our help documentation.

Member Badges

Rosa Clark — Wed, 28 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

We know that many of you—both members, and other users of metadata in the wider scholarly research community—like to reference us in your communications, promoting how you are contributing to scholarly infrastructure.

To support you with this we have created a set of Member Type ‘badges’ for you to display on your websites. If you currently use the Crossref logo on your website to display that you are a member of Crossref, you can now replace it with your Member Type badge.

When placing your Member Type badge on your website we ask that you reference (not download) them, using the html snippets next to them below. Please copy the html exactly so that if we update our badges, you’ll automatically get the correct file.

Before you start, make sure you know which Member Type you are. Then, insert a link into your web page that references the correct image URL, don’t download the image and re-upload to your website, please reference it directly. Note that we recommend using .svg versions online at 200px wide for the sharpest display.

Contact our marketing team if you’d like a version for printing, or have any questions.

ORCID auto-update

Ginny Hendricks — Fri, 13 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000

An ORCID iD is a unique identifier for an individual. It allows everyone (authors, publishers, funders, and research institutions) to identify the work that you do, and accurately attribute it.

Enter once, when you submit a paper, then watch as your ORCID record is automatically updated as your work is published, registered with Crossref, and enters the global citation network.

Who is it for?

Authors: save time on manual data entry and easily keep your ORCID record up-to-date
Publishers: help automate processes for your authors and enhance the discoverability of your content
Funders, research administrators, librarians and anyone else interested in tracking research outputs.

How does it work?

This service is a classic example of our community infrastructure at work. Registering and sharing metadata and open persistent identifiers—such as ORCID iDs and Digital Object Identifiers— means systems can communicate with each other to save everyone a lot of time and effort. When members register their content with Crossref, we encourage the inclusion of ORCID iDs, unique codes that identify the individual(s) who contributed to that publication. When an iD is included in the metadata provided to Crossref along with other information about the work such as title, date, and DOI, we can automatically update the author’s ORCID record on publication (with their permission).

People really seem to like it:

Holy hell I love @ORCID_Org - it just automatically updated with my @Science_Open Collections through @CrossrefOrg https://t.co/nWsqd9XniC
— Jon Tennant (@Protohedgehog) February 15, 2016

How do I get started?

Authors: register for an ORCID iD. Then add it to your resume, any profiles where you communicate your work, and ask that your publisher record your ID when you submit a paper, so you can be sure that as your your work takes on a life of its own, you will always be credited.
Publishers: Encourage your authors to sign up and submit their ORCID iD along with their paper submission. Build awareness among editors of the importance of collecting this persistent identifier.

Please contact our support team with any questions.

For researchers

Rachael Lammey — Fri, 06 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Find other researchers’ work and let them find yours. Through registering DOIs, we collect and share comprehensive information about research such as citations, mentions, and other relationships. Thousands of tools and services then harness this information—-for search, discovery, and measurement—-through our open APIs.

Persistent linking

Our members register the content they publish with us to tell us it exists - this includes bibliographic (and other) information, and persistent identifiers.

This helps make content discoverable by uniquely identifying the work, and giving a means to link to it long-term. When you click on the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) in a reference list, you’ll be reliably taken to the content you’re interested in, regardless of the publication or publisher. If the content moves to a new website, the publisher will come to us and register the new location of the content so that the link doesn’t break and researchers can continue to navigate between content without any snags.

We also disseminate that metadata so that other systems - search or subject databases, library systems and scholarly sharing networks - can employ it to help their users find the research they’re interested in.

Registering content with us helps the content you publish be found, cited, linked to, and used by other researchers. Watch the video below to find out more:

Add DOIs to your reference lists

Adding DOIs to your reference lists means that readers can link persistently to related works.

You can search for DOIs via our search service or add a list of references to our query tool to have the DOIs we can find returned for those.

You’re also welcome to access and use our metadata via our REST API - no sign-up is required and it’s free to use.

Have an ORCID iD?

Speaking of identifiers, we’re big fans of ORCID iDs.

It’s simple (and free) to register for an ORCID iD, and providing your ORCID iD when you submit a paper or publish content provides more ways for people to discover your research.

Many members collect ORCID iDs from their authors, and if they deposit them with us when they register content we can push the publications to the author’s ORCID record automatically. It’s called auto-update and means researchers can skip re-keying information and have their ORCID record show the most complete record of their publications.

Finding important updates to content

If you see this button when reading a paper, make sure you click on it!

Using Crossmark gives you quick and easy access to the current status of a work. With one click, you can see if content has been updated, corrected or retracted meaning you can have confidence in the status what you’re reading or citing. You can also see useful additional information on things like who funded the work, what licenses apply to the content and much more.

Interested in text mining?

Our REST API is designed to allow researchers to harvest full-text from participating members for the purpose of text mining.

Publishers deposit license information and links to the full-text of the content with us, and researchers interested in mining cross-publisher content can use that information to find out where the content is located, and what they are allowed to do with it. A GET request then allows you to download the full-text from the publisher’s site (if you have access to it). We walk you through the process on our support site.

Questions about any of this? Get in touch!

Deleted DOI

Patricia Feeney — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 00:00:00 +0000

This identifier is not currently attached to any content. This sometimes happens when a DOI was created in error. Try our metadata search tool to find what you’re looking for.

Please contact our support team with any questions.

For developers

Rachael Lammey — Tue, 10 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000

If you develop tools and software to find, cite, link, and/or assess research outputs, you can integrate our metadata about scholarly content into your project, through our open APIs.

Trying to get data from us?

We have an open REST API that provides a flexible way of accessing and using the most up-to-date metadata we have. We store bibliographic metadata related to currently 97788352 publications, coupled with funding information, license details, ORCID iDs, full-text links and much more.

The API makes it easy to facet, filter, or search the metadata we hold. There’s no need to sign-up, but we’d love you to tell us how you’re using it or check out some examples for inspiration.

If the REST API isn’t the best fit for what you’re doing, we have a number of other delivery options and are happy to discuss to get you fixed-up with one of those.

Working on Crossref services

Implementing Crossmark? Publishers participate in Crossmark by depositing additional metadata for their content and adding a snippet of code to their DOI landing pages to generate the Crossmark button and link. Details for each of these steps are on our support site.
Interested in text mining? Our REST API is designed to allow harvesting full-text from participating members for the purpose of text mining. We walk you through the process if you’re keen to explore.
Want to register content with us, upload files or do bulk queries?

For librarians

Jennifer Kemp — Thu, 02 Mar 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Enhance your metadata and connect your discovery and linking services with our 97788352 records—they’re all available in XML and JSON through open APIs and search.

Libraries and Crossref are a winning combination. Our shared goal is to improve discoverability of content for researchers. For our part we look after our members’ metadata and run a registry of persistent links. We also offer services that help systems and people to make connections.

We currently look after 97788352 content items from theses, dissertations, preprints, and reports– through to of course journal articles and books/book chapters.

Retrieve metadata via OpenURL

Many librarians come to Crossref for an account to use retrieve metadata using OpenURL. If you’re one of those librarians, you’re in the right place!

Please review these terms below and get in touch if you agree. We will create your account and send you login details within a couple of days.

OpenURL terms of use for Libraries

The Library may retrieve Crossref metadata and DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) and their associated metadata, which may be used by The Library:
- to make persistent links to full-text works online in library records, content and link resolvers and other Library systems
- for scholarly, research, educational, personal or non-commercial purposes
The Library will make a reasonable effort to use DOIs to link prominently to their intended target, without any ‘interrupting technologies,’ like pop ups.
The Library may not use Crossref DOIs or metadata in ways that may infringe copyright.
Crossref metadata does not grant or imply Library access to publisher full text
Term of agreement is 12 (twelve) months but The Library or Crossref can terminate with 30 (thirty) days notice to the other. Otherwise, it automatically renews annually.
If the agreement changes we will alert the designated Business Contact.
Using Crossref trademarks and brand: The Library is welcome to associate the Crossref name and trademark with activities described in this agreement, for its duration.
Library use is nonexclusive and revocable.
Any other use, including by non-Library parties, requires prior written consent from Crossref.
Limitations and Disclaimers: Sometimes, despite best efforts, things will go wrong:
Crossref won’t be held liable for damages resulting from the use of Crossref systems or data.
Metadata is provided ‘as-is.’
Crossref disclaims any and all other warranties, conditions or representations (express, implied, oral or written), relating to the DOIs and metadata, the Crossref system or any parts thereof.
Waiver: Delays or omissions by either Crossref or The Library will not be construed as a waiver.
Entire Agreement: Finally, this is the entire agreement and supersedes any previous one(s).

If you agree to these terms, please contact us to set up an account.

The metadata we take in

We have 10461 members registering journal articles, books, dissertations, preprints, and other content types with us.

Our members register content with us including as much metadata as possible, they then use each others’ metadata to link their references and commit to maintaining these links for the long-term. There are some figures at our dashboard, a live display of data using our REST API. Our members update that metadata all the time.

Increasingly we are being asked to take in other scholarly outputs such as peer review reports, videos, blogs, and other. Watch our blog for news of these additions or sign up to our newsletter via the link in the footer of this website.

Other ways to get metadata

One of our responsibilities is to make metadata available to the systems and people who need it. The benefits to libraries in using our metadata are that you can ensure persistent links, which lead to increased discoverability of your resources. And it also means you don’t have to sign individual linking agreements with each publisher or keep track of their different ways of linking.

We have a number of metadata delivery options, in addition to OpenURL. The most visible is search.crossref.org (for humans!) which uses our REST API (for machines!). Both interfaces are open and free to use without registering.

From search.crossref.org you can search for a DOI, an article, an author, an ORCID iD, etc. You can search right from our homepage on the second tab ‘search metadata’ or go directly to search.crossref.org.

We have a browsable title list of all titles registered with us, by journal, book series, or conference proceeding.

Library publishers

A growing number of libraries are becoming publishers themselves too. Many of the approximately 180 members that join every month are, for example, a scholar-publisher or a library-publisher. If you’d like to register content and contribute metadata please take a look at the member obligations and if you can meet them, apply to join.

Other services

You may also be interested in some of our other services, such as the Funder Registry which provides a standard way to report funding sources for published scholarly research.

Contact our outreach team to set up an account or ask any questions. Technical support is also available from our metadata experts.

For research administrators

Rachael Lammey — Tue, 10 Jan 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Use our metadata through open APIs, to analyze published works and enhance your assessment activities.

More than just bibliographic metadata

The basic bibliographic metadata we collect from our members is really useful in helping the identification and discovery of content.

However, there’s lots more to the metadata than that. We collect additional information from publishers that helps track and link research outputs to researchers, funders and institutions. This includes:

Information on who funded the research
The ORCID iDs of the authors, and we can push the articles to their ORCID records automatically
License information and embargo dates
Author affiliation information
Links to full text, or different versions of content e.g. accepted manuscript, version of records
Third party archive arrangements
Abstracts
Acceptance dates

We’re also putting plans in place to allow publishers to register DOIs upon manuscript acceptance, even if the manuscript has not been made available online. This will help notify you and your institution of impending publications by your researchers as early in the process as possible, and track them through to publication and beyond.

Using this information to track research outputs

This information is freely available for you to use and integrate into your own systems via our REST API and search interfaces. We have a detailed guide on what this information looks like in our metadata to help you search, facet or filter the metadata.

Interested in what others are doing? Read our case study on how the National Library of Sweden is using our REST API in two of their projects, Open APC Sweden and in their local analysis database for publication statistics used in negotiations with publishers.

Please get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions: we’d be happy to provide help, advice or update you on publisher uptake and our future plans.

Distributed usage logging

Christine Buske — Fri, 16 Sep 2016 00:00:00 +0000

The distributed usage logging project is a planned initiative between COUNTER and Crossref members that we are helping to facilitate. Our infrastructure can provide a private channel of reporting from COUNTER to our members. It will collect and securely report data about the usage of content registered with us.

Distributed usage logging will help members measure usage by tracking COUNTER usage events that happen outside of publisher platforms. We’ll process such events (but not see or touch them) via members’ COUNTER-compliant usage reporting streams. The service is currently at a proof-of-concept stage with a launch expected some time late 2017.

At the end of 2016 COUNTER conducted a survey of demand for this kind of service, take a look at the report on the COUNTER website.

If you’re curious to learn more about this upcoming capability from the Crossref side, take a look at an early blog post: A private channel for private data.

If you’re interested in being a pilot partner, please contact our product team.

Privacy

Ginny Hendricks — Thu, 24 May 2018 00:00:00 +0000

We are committed to safeguarding your privacy. If you feel we need to change something please contact us with your feedback.

One of our guiding principles is to use open source tools and technologies. That extends to how we communicate with you and we endeavor to use systems we think we can trust not to misuse our—or your—data.

Browsing this website

We are trying to strike a balance between understanding what content people appreciate most (and least) on our site, and ensuring your information remains as private as possible. We therefore decided to use Matomo which is an open source analytics program that respects user privacy. We look at page views, referrers, geographies, exit pages, and try to discern patterns in what content most used. Matomo does not hold onto your data.

Subscribing to our updates

If you sign up for news and updates, the information you provide will be stored in our email service called Act-On. We will email you once a month with a newsletter containing recent blog posts and product and service information. You won’t be added to other mailing lists unless you ask. If you later decide you do not want to receive these communications, we put opt-out links on all our emails. If you just want alerts of new blogs, please use RSS.

Joining as a member

If you sign up to become a member of Crossref, we add you as an ‘inactive’ account in our Customer Rrelationship Management (CRM) system, SugarCRM. Once your account is approved, and when you’ve signed your contract and paid your first year’s membership fee, we set your account to ‘active’. When you sign up we ask for contacts for: billing, voting, business, technical, and metadata quality. The billing contact receives the invoices for annual membership fees and quarterly content registration fees. The voting contact recieves the annual board election notices and votes on behalf of the member organization. The Business contact agrees to the terms and recieves regular service and product information. The technical contact may be your chosen agent to deposit metadata with us. And the metadata quality contact is the one we send reports to about metadata errors and would be the one to fix them.

Over time we might ask to be in touch with additional people at your organization, such as editors, product managers, production staff, and other interested colleagues. We will ask upfront for your consent and it is always possible to opt-out later if you change your mind.

Depending on the type of account, you may receive a series of on-boarding emails that provide information about how to get started with your participation in Crossref. We will also email you with significant news as and when things change, services are improved, or new services are introduced.

Using our metadata services

We offer both members and non-members a range of services to access metadata. In some cases, the provided metadata may include data (or metadata derived from data) that originated from sources other than our members (“third-party sources”). We will take steps to inform all users of our metadata delivery services about any third-party sources for the metadata. If the third-party source requires it, we will also provide their privacy policies or usage restrictions. We respect the terms and conditions, including the privacy policies, of the third-party sources and we expect the users of our metadata services to do so as well.

If you identify yourself in API queries (our ‘Polite’ or ‘Plus’ API pools), we will not under any circumstances store or use your email for any other purpose than technical troubleshooting and only if absolutely necessary. You may choose to use our ‘Public’ API which won’t identify you at all. More information can be found in the etiquette section of our REST API documentation.

Asking for support

If you ask for support and raise a ticket with our support team, the information to send will be stored in our ticketing system, Zendesk. We don’t use your contact information for anything other than resolving your support ticket, and any logins or private details provided during a support conversation are secure.

Comments on our blog or community forum

We are using a platform called Disqus to enable comments on our blog and you may control your privacy settings if you have an account there. Conversations among the Crossref community can be made on our discussion forum at community.crossref.org which uses Discourse. Discourse is an open source platform that asks people for minimal information such as your name, alias (name you wish to display), and your email address. We may use your email address to answer your questions and feedback, but we do not store it in our email database so you won’t receive newsletters and other emails unless you specifically sign up.

Cookies

Cookies are files with small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Like many sites, we use “cookies” to collect basic information in order to allow us to serve you better and improve your experience while visiting our website. Cookies are not used to retain personal data. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

Email privacy

We categorically do not under any circumstances—however persuasive—sell or rent email addresses with parties outside of Crossref. On rare occasions—and only where it prevents you from using a service you’ve signed up for—we may need to provide a contact email address to a supplier or partner in order for you to receive important information or technical support.

Retaining your information

Meet the members, Part 3 (with INASP)

Christine Cormack Wood — Wed, 20 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Next in our Meet the members blog series is INASP, who isn’t a direct member, but acts as a Sponsor for hundreds of members. Sioux Cumming, Programme Specialist at INASP tells us a bit about the work they’re doing, how they use Crossref and what the future plans for INASP are.

Can you tell us a little bit about INASP?

INASP is an international development organization working with a global network of partners in Africa, Latin America and Asia. We have a vision of research and knowledge at the heart of development, so are working to support individuals and institutions to produce, share and use research and knowledge, which can transform lives.

Our work includes strengthening research communication, which we do via AuthorAID (supporting researchers, especially early-career researchers, in getting their research published); improving information access (supporting library consortia with access to international journals and other online resources); supporting evidence use in policy making; working with higher-education institutions to improve critical thinking skills; improving gender equity in research systems; and my area, which I’ll talk more about below, supporting academic publishing in the Global South.

INASP’s approaches are based on the core pillars of capacity development, convening, influencing and working in partnership. INASP promotes equity by actively addressing the needs of both men and women across all our work and addressing issues of power within the research and knowledge system.

What’s your role within INASP?

I’m a Programme Specialist and since I started at INASP 15 years ago I’ve been responsible for our academic publishing work. This work supports increased visibility, accessibility and quality of peer-reviewed journals published in developing countries so that the research outputs that are produced in these countries can be found, shared and used more effectively.

We recognize two big challenges for Southern journals in playing their part in global research systems. The first is awareness of Southern journals, many of which were until recently only available in print. Supporting editors and national organizations to put their journals online on central platforms (the Journals Online platforms) has helped increase their visibility.

We have also provided support to the local management teams in communicating about the platforms, the journals and the research they publish, and we recently published a Handbook for Journal Editors - www.inasp.info/editorshandbook. This is intended to be a free resource for editors worldwide that can be used as a stand-alone handbook or as an accompaniment to the journal quality online course that we are currently developing.

The second challenge is supporting publishing quality and enabling Southern journals to demonstrate their quality so they will be regarded as credible. In the early days, this, for me, was largely about providing training and mentoring for journal editors and Journals Online platform managers about standard publishing practices.

More recently, as local handover progressed, our role shifted towards helping journals to demonstrate their credibility. Last September INASP and African Journals Online launched our Journal Publishing Practices and Standards (JPPS) framework for assessing the quality of Southern publishing processes. This has been really well received by the international publishing sector and by the journal editors we work with.

Tell us a bit about who you support, and how you support them

We support others communicating their research and finding out about the research of others.

The five Journals Online platforms that were handed over to local management at the end of March collectively host 397 journals from Bangladesh, El Salvador, Honduras, Mongolia, Nepal, Nicaragua and Sri Lanka.

These platforms help the research from these countries to become even more integrated in the global research community. Some fascinating and valuable research is published in the journals on these platforms. You can see some examples of this research in this article about a small piece of work we did with these platforms to commission and disseminate press releases of some of the research.

What’s your participation level with Crossref?

INASP has been a Crossref Sponsoring Organization for the Journals Online platforms since 2008 and all articles on the sites have DOIs assigned to them (approximately 50,000 articles). All the in-country training sessions for journal editors publishing via the JOL platforms have included sessions to explain how DOIs work and why they are important. We have also trained editors on how to find and include the DOIs for the references of their articles. More recently, in 2015, we provided access to the Crossref Similarity Check service to editors, which enabled them to improve the quality of their submissions by identifying instances of plagiarism before the articles were published.

What trends are you seeing in your part of the scholarly communications community?

Demonstrating credibility of journals is an important part of journal publishing today. There are so many journals worldwide and it is a tough challenge for authors and readers to navigate this sector – a challenge that we often see through the discussions in our AuthorAID network. But it is important that researchers don’t simply turn to the handful of well-known publishers in the Global North that have dominated scholarly discourse to date.

To really tackle global issues and increase equality in global research we need to work towards levelling the playing field and including all voices – and this challenge needs to be embraced across the global research and knowledge system. We have seen encouraging signs over the past couple of years of magazines, blogs, conference organizers and industry groups in the Global North approaching us to help bring in more global perspectives to scholarly discussions. However, there is plenty more to be done and we are particularly focusing on equity in our new areas of work.

How would you describe the value of being a Crossref Sponsoring Organization?

Collaboration with Crossref over the past few years has been one of a number of ways that we have been able to connect small, scholar-led titles in the Global South with the latest global standards and approaches in scholarly publishing. This is important as it all helps to level the playing field.

Including DOIs in papers is one of the criteria for being awarded a JPPS star and thus the journals are incentivized to understand and use them more.

What are INASP’s plans for the future?

INASP has recently completed a major five-year programme of work with a significant focus on strengthening organizations in the countries we have been working in and handing over responsibility for managing things like the Journals Online platforms. We are now in a new phase of work, building on what has gone before but with a particular emphasis on improving equity both within and between research systems.

Many challenges remain – the global research system still tends to be biased towards the Global North. From an academic publishing perspective this is apparent both in terms of awareness of journals and also in terms of impressions of credibility. JPPS is intended to tackle the latter challenge but it is still early days – we only announced the first badges awarded a few months ago. Over the next few years we will be building on and strengthening this work and ensuring that it is an important part of the processes for journal editors and for authors and readers.

Thank you Sioux for your participation in our Meet the members series. If your organization would like to feature in this series, please get in touch.

Preprints growth rate ten times higher than journal articles

Jennifer Lin — Thu, 31 May 2018 00:00:00 +0000

The Crossref graph of the research enterprise is growing at an impressive rate of 2.5 million records a month - scholarly communications of all stripes and sizes. Preprints are one of the fastest growing types of content. While preprints may not be new, the growth may well be: ~30% for the past 2 years (compared to article growth of 2-3% for the same period). We began supporting preprints in November 2016 at the behest of our members. When members register them, we ensure that: links to these publications persist over time; they are connected to the full history of the shared research results; and the citation record is clear and up-to-date.

Summary

As of May 24, 2018 we have 44,388 works (see API query http://api.crossref.org/types/posted-content/works with a json viewer) registered as posted content. Today that number is 47154 . Preprints are part of this content type category, which is meant to house scholarly outputs that have been posted online and intended for publication in the future.

For a more granular view, see the monthly stats captured by Jordan Anaya in PrePubMed. This data is based on a slightly different set of preprint repositories, though both show the same trends.

The figure below shows the preprints registered with Crossref, broken down by repository.

We eagerly await our newest preprints member, Center for Open Science, who will soon be registering the preprints from their 18 community archives with us (~9k preprints total to date).

Metadata coverage

We accept a range of metadata for the preprints registered with us, including:

Repository name & hosting platform
Contributor names & ORCID iDs
Title
Dates (posted, accepted)
License
Funding
Abstract
Relations
References

As with all content types, certain metadata is required, though others are optional. We encourage full coverage of metadata in the record where applicable and possible. So what are publishers including in their posted content records? The summary view is as follows:

License: 9926 (json), 22% (PeerJ Preprints, ChemRxiv)
Funder: 0 (json), 0%
ORCID: 19309 (json), 44% (bioRxiv, PeerJ Preprints, Preprints.org, ChemRxiv)
Abstracts: 35874 (json), 81% (bioRxiv, PeerJ Preprints, ChemRxiv)
References: 1921 (json):, 4% (JMIR)

Compared to all the published content registered with us over time, preprints have above average coverage of ORCID iDs deposited and show well above average with abstract metadata. However, they are significantly lagging behind with depositing references, license, and funding metadata. (See a summary of the full corpus stats taken two months ago in the blog post, A Lustrum over the Weekend.

Preprint-article pairs

Members registering preprints have an obligation to update the metadata record when a journal article is subsequently published, to clearly identify this work. This pairing is passed on to our metadata users: indexing platforms; recommendations engines; platforms; tools, etc. which pull from our APIs. (The preprint landing page also must link to the article.) As such, the preprint-article pairings are amassing as each week passes. We currently have a total of 12983 (json) preprints connected to articles. The figure below provides the counts based on repository.

Citations

We can see from preprint Cited-by counts that researchers are indeed citing preprints in their articles. This practice is an extension of the common citation behavior to provide evidence for and credit to previous work, a natural consequence of work shared with their peers. The most highly cited preprint papers (json) as of May 24, 2018 are as follows. In some cases, a subsequent paper was published from the results shared in the preprint. These have also accrued citations in their own right and these are also indicated in the table below.

The relationship between preprints and the proceeding publication is an interesting area that is not yet well understood. We invite the community to analyze the Crossref metadata using the REST API in concert with other datasets. For example, the citation lifecycle for these two research products has been one of speculation so far without a systematic investigation into patterns and timeframes of preprint citations and those of its succeeding article across the corpus. Here, submission dates would be critical data to this research question as publication windows vary significantly by publisher and by paper.

Linking references is different from depositing references

Anna Tolwinska — Wed, 30 May 2018 00:00:00 +0000

From time to time we get questions from members asking what the difference is between reference linking and depositing references as part the content registration process.

Here’s the distinction:

Linking out to other articles from your reference lists is a key part of being a Crossref members - it’s an obligation in the membership agreement and it levels the playing field when all members link their references to one another. Depositing references when you register your content is completely different. It’s enriching the metadata record that describes your content, and it allows Crossref and others—including non-members—to use them.

Reference Linking

A research article usually includes a reference list of citations to other works that helped inform it. The original function of Crossref was to provide a central service for publishers that enabled them to link to each others’ content from these reference lists—using a DOI as a persistent link. This meant that members of all sizes and in all disciplines could easily link to one another without having to sign hundreds of bilateral agreements.

We made Reference Linking obligatory for Crossref members because it’s fundamental to making content discoverable, and because when everyone links their references, research travels further and benefits everyone.

Depositing references

Every single day hundreds of members register and update their metadata with us—and every single day hundreds of organizations search for, extract and use it. To make sure your content is discovered in this process, it’s important to make the metadata you register with us as rich as possible. Rich metadata includes information such as journal title, article author, publication date, page numbers, ISSN, abstracts, ORCID iDs, funding information, clinical trials numbers, license information, and of course—references.

Additionally, registering references is a prerequisite for participating in our Cited-by service—which provides citation counts and lists, and ultimately makes your content more discoverable.

We know it’s not easy for smaller publishers to deposit references. Our upcoming Metadata Manager tool will allow you to register your references at the same time as the rest of your content. This service is currently in development but let us know if you want to try it out.

Reference Linking

Reference Linking means adding Crossref DOI links to the reference list for journal articles on your article pages as per this example: https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/1/1/006.

How it works

First retrieve DOIs for all available references either through our human or machine interfaces. Then make sure you use the DOI link in your references and on your article landing page using the Crossref DOI display guidelines.

Why it’s useful

Reference Linking:

Enables you to link to more than 10,000 publishers without having to sign multiple agreements
Helps with discoverability, because DOIs don’t break if implemented correctly
Displays your DOIs as URLs so that anyone can copy and share them
Makes your content more useful to readers
Drives traffic to your website from other publishers.

Is it obligatory?

Yes, within a short time after becoming a member and only for the journal content type. It’s encouraged for other content types.

Registering References

Registering references means submitting them as part of your Crossref metadata deposit as per this example: https://www.crossref.org/xml-samples/article_with_references.xml.

How it works

Whenever you register content with us, make sure you include your references in the submission. You can also add references to your existing content via a metadata re-deposit, or our resource deposit, or our Simple Text Query form.

Why it’s useful

References registered as part of your metadata:

Make your content more discoverable
Make your content richer and more useful
Are required to participate in our Cited-by service (this service shows what articles cite your article)
Enables discovery of research
Enables evaluation of research
Highlights your contents’ provenance
Helps with citation counts.

Is it obligatory?

No, it’s optional, but strongly encouraged. It is required however if you are participating in our Cited-by service.

If you have any questions about reference linking or registering your references please get in touch in .

SSP roadtrip for the Crossref team

Amanda Bartell — Wed, 30 May 2018 00:00:00 +0000

What do you think of when you think of Chicago? Deep dish pizza? Art Deco architecture?

Well for one week only this year you can add scholarly publishing to the list as the #SSP2018 Conference comes to town. Some Crossref people are excited to be heading out for the conference, and we’re looking forward to meeting as many of our members as possible.

Come along to stand 212A and talk to Anna Tolwinska about Participation Reports. Although this new tool is still in beta, she’s giving SSP attendees a sneak peek and the chance to get an early look at whether they (and over 10 000 other members) are registering the ten key elements that add context and richness to the basic required metadata. You’ll get real insight into what metadata you’re registering, even if this work is done by a third party or other department.

Thinking about registering preprints or including data citations? Want to find out more about our forthcoming Event Data service? Our product director Jennifer Lin will be able to give you the ins and outs of all our latest services so do keep an eye out for her at the conference.

Speaking of third parties, Amanda Bartell will be popping along to the “Thinking the Unthinkable, or How to Prepare for a Platform Migration” pre meeting seminar on Wednesday with copies of our new Platform Migration Checklist and lots of hints and tips to help form a new platform migration guide which will help members have a smooth transition when thinking of moving providers.

Shayn Smulyan will be attending the ORCID breakfast meeting on Thursday morning, so come and say hello if you have any questions about how ORCID and Crossref work together. Shayn is one of our support specialists, so he’ll be able to help you with any other technical queries you may have.

Our tech director Chuck Koscher will be keen to hone in on members’ advanced questions about Content Registration, citation matching, and any and all schema deets. So seek him out if you have deep technical questions.

Want to find out more about Metadata 2020, the new campaign to improve metadata for research? Rosa Clark will be able to give you the lowdown, and even better - she has stickers!

And don’t feel left out if you aren’t a member but work closely with Crossref. Jennifer Kemp will be on hand to answer all your metadata use and reuse questions, she’ll be looking forward to chatting with all kinds of service providers, platforms, and tools.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

Metadata Plus guide

Amanda Bartell — Mon, 07 May 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Metadata Plus is an optional service on top of our public OAI-PMH and REST APIs that metadata users can actively request. For an annual fee, it gives you machine access to all our 97788352 metadata records in both XML and JSON formats with enhanced service and features. This service provides you with with access to all supported APIs and metadata, but with extra service and support guarantees that give you a consistent and predictable experience.

Quick links to get started

For the REST API, view, track, or open an issue on GitHub if you prefer.

Our REST API documentation explains everything, including how to use your token to identify yourself as a Metadata Plus user.

Your dedicated Plus support email email address. We’ll get back to you ASAP.

Here is a basic introduction to the OAI-PMH interface, with information on using your token to identify yourself as a Metadata Plus user.

If you don’t want to run specific queries but are just looking for a download of all our metadata at a single point in time, you may want a snapshot download. These snapshots are full extracts of our entire corpus in both JSON and XML for Metadata Plus users, updated monthly.

If you aren’t yet a Metadata Plus user, you may wish to check with us that this is the right service for you. Once you’ve done this, you’ll need to apply using our application form. You’ll then receive an agreement to sign, and will be invoiced for the service.

Metadata Plus snapshots

Amanda Bartell — Mon, 30 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Metadata Plus snapshots provide access to our approximately 97788352 metadata records at a particular point in time in a single file and are available for Metadata Plus service users.

The files are made available via a /snapshots route in the REST API which offers a compressed .tar file (tar.gz) containing the full extract of the metadata corpus in either JSON or XML formats.

How to access snapshots

New snapshots are created each month available by the 5th day, providing all records up to and including the previous month.

If you’re looking for the most up to date snapshot (all records up to and including the previous month), you can use the following URLs which will always alias to the current month:

JSON output: https://api.crossref.org/snapshots/monthly/latest/all.json.tar.gz
XML output: https://api.crossref.org/snapshots/monthly/latest/all.xml.tar.gz

If you want to test to see if a particular snapshot is available, you can do a HTTP HEAD request using the following URL patterns:

JSON output: https://api.crossref.org/snapshots/monthly/{YYYY/MM}/all.json.tar.gz
XML output: https://api.crossref.org/snapshots/monthly/{YYYY/MM}/all.xml.tar.gz

As snapshots are only available to Metadata Plus users, you need to identify yourself in your request by using an “Authorization” HTTP header with your access token. The example below shows how this should be formatted, with XXX replaced by your token:

Authorization: Bearer XXX

The files will be very large (>42GB) so may take a while to download depending on the speed of your internet connection.

When are snapshots available for each month?

Snapshots will become available around the 5th day of each calendar month. We are working to get the process down to a few hours.

Are snapshots available for all time?

Snapshots are kept available for current and previous quarters. Each quarter we will remove the files from the two prior quarters (e.g.: on 1st April the files from the previous Oct/Nov/Dec are removed).

I’m seeing a 404 error when I request the url

If you’re looking for the current month, this may be because the archive hasn’t been created for that month yet. They are usually available by the 5th of each month.

If you’re looking for a month that’s more than 6 months old, it may be that the snapshot has been deleted. On a quarterly basis, we will remove the files from two quarters previous (e.g. on April 1, 2018 the files from Oct/Nov/Dec 2017 will be removed). If you aren’t looking for a particularly new or particularly old archive and you’re still seeing a 404 error, please contact us using the dedicated Plus support email.

I’m seeing a 401 error when I request the url

Snapshots are only available to Metadata Plus users. This message means that the system doesn’t recognise you as a Metadata Plus user. If you’re already a Metadata Plus user, make sure you’re using your correct token in the header of your query. If you’re still having problems, contact us using the dedicated Plus user support email.

I need a full snapshot mid-month

Snapshot archives are provided at the start of each month. The archive contains all the registered content received by Crossref up until that time. (Really? Yea, all of it.) If you need a snapshot mid month, you should download and ingest the latest archive and then harvest and ingest the registered content that has changed since then.

To get the registered content that has changed since an archive was created, use OAI PMH Plus or the REST API. For example, if the archive was created on January 31, 2018 then the OAI PMH Plus harvest’s initial URL is

https://oai.crossref.org/oai?verb=ListRecords&set=J&from=2018-01-31&metadataPrefix=cr_unixsd

This will harvest journal data. If you are interested in book data then use the “B” set.

https://oai.crossref.org/oai?verb=ListRecords&set=B&from=2018-01-31&metadataPrefix=cr_unixsd

If you are interested in series data then use the “S” set.

https://oai.crossref.org/oai?verb=ListRecords&set=S&from=2018-01-31&metadataPrefix=cr_unixsd

It is important to use the created date and not the completed date. It takes time to build the archive and so changes will occur during the build. Using the created date ensures those changes are harvested too.

Please contact our Plus support team with any questions.

How good is your metadata?

Kirsty Meddings — Thu, 26 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Exciting news! We are getting very close to the beta release of a new tool to publicly show metadata coverage. As members register their content with us they also add additional information which gives context for other members and for services that help e.g. discovery or analytics.

Richer metadata makes content useful. Participation reports will give—for the first time—a clear picture for anyone to see the metadata Crossref has. This is data that’s long been available via our Public REST API, now visualized.

Who are participation reports for? Everyone!

It’s an opportunity to evaluate and educate. See for yourself where the gaps are, and what our members could improve upon. Understand best practice through seeing what others are doing, and learn how to level-up.

Monitor what metadata is being registered, even if this work is done by a third party or another department. And see what other organizations in scholarly communications see when they use Crossref metadata in their research, tools, and services.

The beta release—expected after acceptance testing some time late May—will let anyone look up any of our 10461 members and see whether they are registering ten key elements that add context and richness to the basic required bibliographic metadata.

What do we mean by ‘richer metadata’?

The ten checks for Beta, will be:

References
Open references (i.e., make references publicly available)
ORCID IDs
Funder IDs
Funding award numbers
Crossmark metadata
License information
Full text links
Similarity Check URLs
Abstracts

Each of these additional metadata elements helps increase discovery and wider and more varied use—and usefulness—of research outputs.

Why are we doing this and what do we mean by ‘participation’?

Over the years when we’ve talked with our members about their metadata, we learned that many just can’t be certain exactly how they’re performing. It could be that they’ve outsourced Content Registration to another service provider or larger publisher, or it could be they just weren’t previously aware they could collect and share authors’ ORCID IDs, Funder IDs, and so on. So our primary aim is to give our members the information they need in order to make a case for improving their metadata records. Each check will come with information about why it is important and guidance on how to improve. Additionally, with the growing use of Crossref as a central source of metadata for the research community, it’s in everyone’s interest to be as transparent as possible about what metadata we have - and encourage greater understanding of what’s possible.

Member ‘participation’ is an important concept. Crossref distinguishes itself from other DOI registration agencies by providing this richer infrastructure which allows for things like funding information, license information, links between data and preprints, and so on—all contributing to the research nexus for everyone’s benefit.

Membership of Crossref is not just about getting a persistent identifier for your content, it’s about placing your content in context by providing as much metadata as possible and looking after it long-term.

Here’s a sneak preview of what the report will look like:

So whether you’re a member who wants to run a “health check” on your own metadata, or a consumer of metadata interested in what’s available and from whom, watch this space for Participation Reports!

Would you like a heads-up on your report, pre-beta?

Beta will be released some time in May or June this year, following acceptance testing with members and others. Then we’re looking for about 20 members to have a half-hour phone call with a walk-through ‘health check’. Please contact Anna if you’d like to schedule one.

Redirecting redirection

Geoffrey Bilder — Tue, 24 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Crossref has decided to change the HTTP redirect code used by our DOIs from 303 back to the more commonly used 302. Our implementation of 303 redirects back in 2010 was based on recommended best practice for supporting linked data identifiers. Unfortunately, very few other parties have adopted this practice.

What’s more, because using a 303 redirect is still unusual, it tends to throw SEO tools into a tizzy- and we spend a lot of time fielding SEO questions from our members about our use of 303s.

TL;DR

At this point, we need to emphasise that we have never seen our use of 303s actually affect page rankings. But at the same time, use of 303 redirects has not had wider uptake. Maintaining this quixotic behaviour just isn’t worth the effort. We hope that, in the future, we can use other techniques (e.g. signposting & cite-as) to achieve some of the things that 303 was supposed to do.

Note that these changes will not affect users or machines using DOIs. The change should be entirely transparent.

Below we provide some background to our decision and after that we provide some detailed technical notes from Jonathan Rees and Henry Thompson who have been very kind in helping to provide Crossref technical guidance on how we can help DOIs best support linked open data and adhere to HTTP best practice.

Background

Back in 2010, Crossref, DataCite (and later, several other RAs) responded to concerns that DOIs were not “linked-data friendly.” There were three problems with DOIs at that time:

It was not clear that DOIs could be used and expressed as HTTP URIs.
There was no standard way to ask a DOI to return a machine-readable representation of the data.
It wasn’t always clear if the DOI resolved to “the thing” (e.g. an article) or “something about the thing” (e.g. a landing page).

On the advice of several people in the linked data community, we proposed some options for fixing this. And we finally settled on:

Recommending that Crossref DOIs be expressed and displayed as HTTP (now HTTPS) URIs. This made it clear that DOIs could be used with HTTP applications.
Enabling DOI registration agencies to support content negotiation. This allowed RAs to support providing machine-readable representations of the data associated with a DOI.
Changing the underlying redirect code from the normal 302 to 303. This was designed to clarify what, at the time, was true- that most DOIs resolved to a landing page, not the article itself.

By any practical measure, machine use of DOIs has exploded since we made these decisions back in 2010. Crossref’s APIs and content negotiation handle over 800 million requests for machine readable data a month. Our sibling organisation, DataCite, has also seen a huge growth in machine use of DOIs. Many applications, from bibliographic management tools, to authoring systems and CRIS systems, make use of machine actionable DOIs all the time. So clearly our work to promote DOIs as machine actionable identifiers is working, but we are certain that our current use of 303 redirects has nothing to do with this growth.

First of all, as we said, very few parties have actually subscribed to the notion of using 303s to help distinguish “the thing” from “something about the thing”.

Secondly, even if they did try to rely on 303s to make this distinction, they would quickly get confused because the DOI is so often just the first in a chain of redirects which do not implement the same semantic distinction. At this point we should be clear - Crossref thinks these kinds of long redirect chains are a bad idea for two main reasons:

They slow down resolution.
They increase the number of potential failure points between the DOI and the item it resolves to.

But we also cannot legislate them away. They exist. And in the real world you will find plenty of DOIs that do a 303 redirect to a system that, in turn, does a 302 redirect to a system that does a 301 redirect and…eventually ends up someplace returning a 200. You get the picture. How on earth is a machine supposed to interpret a 303->302->301->302 redirect chain?

Furthermore - nowadays, after following this chain of redirects, you will often find yourself on a “page” that is both a landing page and the article itself. Dynamic, one-page applications can simply morph the one into the other without the use of additional HTTP requests.

In other words, using 303s is not helping machines interpret what the DOI is pointing at. And yet, people seem to be making good use of machine actionable DOIs and they are not complaining much about it.

Personally, I’d might have just been happy to switch back to using 302s simply so that I could cut down on my conversations with SEO hacks. But that wouldn’t be a principled approach. In 2010 we spent a lot of time considering the initial switch to 303s- we needed to consult with the LOD community on a potential switch back to 302s. At the January 2018 PIDapalooza I had a chance to talk to Henry Thomson about the 302/303 dilemma we faced, and he along with Jonathan Rees very generously provided the following feedback.

Best practices for HTTP redirection by persistent identifier resolvers: 302 vs. 303

Jonathan Rees (MIT CSAIL, https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7694-8250)
Henry Thompson (University of Edinburgh, School of Informatics, https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5490-1347)

If one goes to the trouble to organize an identifier system, then the desire that such a system should last as long as possible leads one to aspirationally say it’s a persistent identifier (PID) system. The unwillingness of the major browser suppliers to implement new URI schemes for PIDs initially hindered their use on the Web and this in turn inhibited widespread adoption. More recently a number of PID approaches have enjoyed very rapid growth as a result of a compromise: these PIDs participate in the World Wide Web by defining simple conversion rules mapping identifiers to actionable (‘http:’ and/or ‘https:‘) forms and providing resolution servers that redirect requests for such forms to the appropriate destination.This approach has been widely adopted and is very successful, because it is so useful. An identifier’s actionable form leads, via the HTTP protocol and one or more redirections, to a web page that bears on the ground identity of the associated entity – or perhaps even directly to the entity itself, if the system is one for document entities that are naturally provided as web pages. The nature of the retrieved web page varies from one system to the next.

A confusion arose, however, over claims in various technical specifications (URIs, HTTP, Web Architecture) that the normal case is for the protocol to yield a “representation” of the “resource” “identified” by the URI. None of these terms is adequately defined by the specifications, and initially the language was not taken as normative. Those deploying identifier systems took the HTTP “resource” to be the entity associated with an identifier, and understood the “resource” as being “identified” by the URI, but it was never clear what was, or wasn’t, a “representation” of a given entity/resource: a description of the resource, the resource itself, a version of the resource, instructions on how to find the resource, etc. Sixteen years ago, in an attempt to clarify the intent of this part of the theory of URIs, and to allow applications to usefully and uniformly exploit the idea that an HTTP 200 response must deliver a “representation” of the “resource”, Tim Berners-Lee asked the W3C Technical Architecture Group to consider what came to be known as the httpRange-14 issue. It’s now 13 years after the TAG gave advice which almost no one was happy with, and 5 years after work on issue httpRedirections-57 (which superseded httpRange-14) ground to a halt. There’s still no consensus on whether it’s OK to return landing pages with a 200 status in response to requests for pictures or publications, but the Web seems to be working nonetheless, and no one seems to be bothered much anymore.

The provision of HTTP-based resolution services has stimulated widespread support for the use of identifier systems with Web resolution, particularly in the scholarly journal publication context. Those setting up HTTP resolvers responsible for identifier systems must decide which HTTP response code should be used. The TAG’s advice sows doubt on the use of the 200 response code when the response would have been a landing page, and many resolvers avoid 200 regardless and use redirection for administrative purposes, for example

‘https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/5.771073’ to

‘http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/771073/?reload=true’ for the DOI

‘10.1109/5.771073’, or ‘https://identifiers.org/uniprot/A0A022YWF9’ to

‘http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/A0A022YWF9’ for the Uniprot identifier

‘A0A022YWF9’.

So the response should be a redirection, but what kind, 301, 302, or 303? (Or 307, which is almost the same as 302.) A 301 redirect seems to say that the URI is not persistent (since its target is deemed “more persistent”). A 302 redirect seems to say that the response could have come via a 200, and so suffers the same fate as 200. That leaves 303, as hinted at in the TAG’s advice. This idea got some traction: Ten years ago a Semantic Web interest group promoted the TAG’s advice in a published note, and seven years ago one of us wrote a blog post giving the same advice for resolvers for PIDs in publishing.

However, not only is there neither consensus nor general utility around this strict understanding of the use of the various response codes – that is, that resolution to a landing page is inconsistent with a 200 (and a posteriori therefore with a 302) – but also the range of usage patterns for redirection of HTTP requests has grown and ramified over time as the Web has grown and become more complex. It’s on the face of it unlikely that a mere three response codes can capture all the resulting complexity or cover the space of outcomes (in terms of e.g. what ends up in the browser address bar or what search engines index a page under) that a page owner might like to signal.

We find in practice that some PID redirections are ending up (usually after further publisher-local redirects) at the “identified” document, some at landing pages, and some at one or the other depending on the requesting site, for example in the case of paywalled material.

In the absence of a rethinking of the whole 3xx space, it seems to us that only the 301 vs. 302 distinct ion (roughly, 301 = permanent = please fix the link, and 302 = temporary = don’t change the link) is well understood and more or less consistently treated, whereas for 303, web servers are not very consistent and both search engine and citation crawler behaviours are at best inconsistent and at worst downright unhelpful.

So, we believe it is in both users’ and publishers’ interests for resolvers of actionable-form PIDs to use 302 redirects, not 303.

If we want to help machines better understand the resource that a DOI points at, we have to explore using more nuanced mechanisms.

Just using 302 for the first redirect doesn’t do everything necessary to effectively support the emerging PID+redirection architecture. It’s at the end of the redirect chains that we need more: a standardised way to find the PID back at the start of the chain. The ‘cite-as’ proposal does exactly this, and we hope it’s quickly approved and widely adopted. Once that happens a proposal for augmenting browser (and API) behaviour to prefer, or at least offer, the ‘cite-as’ link for bookmarking and copying will be needed.

Using the Crossref REST API. Part 8 (with Researchfish)

Christine Cormack Wood — Mon, 23 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Continuing our blog series highlighting the uses of Crossref metadata, we talked to Gavin Reddick, Chief Analyst at Researchfish about the work they’re doing, and how they’re using our REST API as part of their workflow.

Introducing Researchfish

Researchfish is the world’s leading platform for the reporting of the outputs, outcomes and impacts of funded research. It is used by over 100 funding organisations in Europe, North America and Australasia and currently tracks around €50 billion of funding, across 125,000 grants. Researchers have reported around 2.5 million attributed outcomes in Researchfish and roughly half of these are publications with the other half being collaborations, further funding, data sets, policy influences, engagement activities etc.

Funders use Researchfish to ask grantees to report on the outcomes of their grant and Researchfish makes it easy for researchers to do this in a structured way. Researchfish seeks to improve the quality and robustness of the evidence base available for evaluation. It works with funders, research organisations and researchers to present, explain and evaluate the impact of research across all disciplines and a wide range of output types.

How is the Crossref REST API used in Researchfish?

Search
As publications are a major output of research it is important to make the reporting of those publications be as easy as possible and quality of the information on those publications as high as possible. Researchfish integrates with a number of publication APIs, including Crossref, which enables users to enter a number of DOIs or search by author, title, etc. to find their publication.
Direct Harvest
Researchfish uses funding acknowledgements in the Crossref metadata to add publications to researchers’ portfolios and report the publications as arising from the grant. If the acknowledgement exists it’s important to use it instead of asking researchers to report the same thing twice.
Interoperability
Research organisations can upload publications to Researchfish on behalf of researchers, re-using information from their local systems. We use the Crossref REST API to validate the data provided by universities before uploading.
Metadata Enrichment – Open Access
We use the license and embargo period information in the Crossref metadata to help understand the open access status of publications and whether they meet any policy requirements, without researchers having to take any steps to report in this complex area.
Metadata Enrichment – Normalisation/deduplication
As Researchfish allows users to add information from lots of different sources it is very important to normalise the data and prevent the same publication being reported multiple times in different ways. We use the Crossref REST API as part of this process.

What are the future plans for Researchfish?

We are looking to expand the range of integrations to support non-publication outputs and allow some of the same functionality that we have built for publications. We already have integrations to support the reporting of patents, collaborations, further funding and next destinations but are looking to enhance these, along with expanding links to data sets, clinical trials, software and spin out companies.

What else would Researchfish like to see in Crossref?

Crossref is an excellent resource and most of our wish list would be to see more uptake of existing fields e.g. retractions and the ability to use them more flexibly in the REST API. We would also like to see a little more consistency in some of the metadata – publication type is the area that seems to cause the most confusion, particularly around conference proceedings and clinical trials.

Thank you Researchfish! If you would like to contribute a case study on the uses of Crossref Metadata APIs please contact me, Chrissie Cormack Wood.

PIDs for conferences - your comments are welcome!

Aliaksandr Birukou — Thu, 19 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Aliaksandr Birukou is the Executive Editor for Computer Science at Springer Nature and is chair of the Project PID Group that has been working to establish a persistent identifier system and registry for scholarly conferences. Here Alex provides some background to the work and asks for input from the community:

Roughly one year ago, Crossref and DataCite started a working group on conference and project identifiers. With this blog post, we would like to share the specification of conference metadata and Crossmark for proceedings and are inviting the broader community to comment.

Why are conferences important?

One common misbelief is that most published research appears in journals. However, next to new ways of communication research results (blogs, presentations,…) and journals there are also other publication options, like books, very important in humanities, or conference proceedings, which are very important in computer science and a couple of related disciplines. Conference proceedings are collections of journal-like papers, often undergoing a more competitive peer review process than in journals. For instance, looking at original research in computer science in Scopus published in CS in 2012-2016, 63% of articles appeared in proceedings, while only 37% were published in journals. DBLP, one of the most important indexing services in CS, lists more than two million conference papers organized in ~5,400 conference series.

So, while it is true that CS has a significant share of conference proceedings, conferences are also relevant in many other disciplines which do not publish formal proceedings. For instance, inSPIRE contains ~23,000 conferences in high-energy physics, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) publishes roughly 100 proceedings volumes annually.

Why do we need an open persistent ID for a conference or a conference series?

With publishers, learned societies, indexing services, libraries, conference management systems, research evaluation and funding agencies using conferences directly or indirectly in their daily work, a common vocabulary would simplify data processing, reporting and minimize errors. Right now, a publisher assigns a unique conference ID to the conference to be published, then an indexing service does it, then it is assigned in a library. Wouldn’t it be easier to do this at the very beginning of the process, when the conference planning starts, and keep the same identifier through the whole conference lifecycle?

The joint Crossref and DataCite group on conference and project identifiers has discussed this topic at half a dozen calls and various PID community meetings (PIDapalooza, FORCE conferences, AAHEP Information Provider Summit). The result of those discussions is a draft of the specification of conference metadata and Crossmark for proceedings.

The document first defines the concepts of a conference, conference series, joint and co-located conferences. It then introduces the information we want to store about those entities, e.g., the ID, name, acronym, other IDs, URL and the maintainer of the conference series, or the ID, conf series ID, number, dates, location, and URL for conferences. Such metadata can be submitted to Crossref and DataCite by conference organizers or publishers on their behalf and linked to the existing proceedings metadata, where appropriate. It can be then used for linking research outputs from a conference (beyond formal proceedings), recognizing reviewers via services such as ORCID and Publons, computing metrics of a conference series, conference disambiguation in indexing services and ratings (CORE, QUALIS, CCF), and so on.

The second part of the document introduces Crossmark for conference proceedings. Its goal is to structure and preserve the information about the peer review process of a conference as declared by the general or program chairs. Depending on how much information is available from the conference organizers, one can use the basic or extended versions of Crossmark.

In order to comment, please open the specification and leave comments using “comment” feature of Google Docs. The draft remains open for comments till the 31st of May 2018.

Next steps

After hearing from YOU, we will update the document to reflect the community comments. In parallel, we start a subgroup discussing the governance models, looking into whether we need a new membership category at Crossref, what fees should be covered, etc.

Do you want to be on our Board?

Lisa Hart Martin — Wed, 18 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Do you want to effect change for the scholarly community?

The Crossref Nominating Committee is inviting expressions of interest to serve on the Board as it begins its consideration of a slate for the November 2018 election.

The key responsibilities of the Board are:

Setting the strategic direction for the organization;
Providing financial oversight; and
Approving new policies and services.

Some of the decisions the board has made in recent years include:

Introduction of the Metadata APIs Plus service (to provide a paid-for premium service for machine access to metadata);
Updating the policy on open references (to increase links so that more readers can access content);
Establishing the OI Project (to create a persistent Organization Identifier);
Inclusion of preprints in the Crossref metadata; and
Approval to develop Event Data (which will track online activity from multiple sources).

What is expected of a Crossref Board member?

Board members should be able to attend all board meetings, which occur three times a year in different parts of the world. If you are unable to attend in person you must be able to attend via telephone.

Board members must:

be familiar with the three key responsibilities listed above,
actively participate and contribute towards discussions, and
read the board documents and materials provided, prior to attending meetings.

How to submit an expression of interest to serve on the Board

We are seeking people who know about scholarly communications and would like to be part of our future. If you have a vision for the international Crossref community, we are interested in hearing from you.

If you are a Crossref member, are eligible to vote, and would like to be considered, you should complete and submit the expression of interest form with both your organization’s statement and your personal statement before 18 May 2018.

It is important to note it is your organization who is the Crossref member—and therefore the seat will belong to your organization.

About the election and our Board

We have a principle of “one member, one vote”; our board comprises a cross-section of members and it doesn’t matter how big or small you are, every member gets a single vote. Board terms are three years, and one third of the Board is eligible for election every year. There are five seats up for election in 2018.

The board meets in a variety of international locations in March, July, and November each year. View a list of the current Crossref Board members and a history of the decisions they’ve made (motions).

The election opens online in September 2018 and voting is done by proxy online, or in person, at the annual business meeting during ‘Crossref LIVE18’ on 13th November 2018 in Toronto, Canada. Election materials and instructions for voting will be available to all Crossref members online in September 2018.

The role of the Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee meets to discuss change, process, criteria, and potential candidates, ensuring a fair representation of membership. The Nominating Committee is charged with selecting a slate of candidates for election from those who have expressed an interest.

The selection of the slate (which is likely to exceed the number of open seats) is based on the quality of the expressions of interest and maintaining the balance and diversity of the board—especially in areas of organizational size, gender, geography and sector.

The Committee is made up of three board members not up for election, and two non-board members. The current Nominating Committee members are:

Mark Patterson, eLife (Chair);
Chris Shillum, Elsevier;
Amy Brand, MIT Press;
Vincent Cassidy, The Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET); and
Claire Moulton, The Company of Biologists.

Our board needs to be stay truly representative of Crossref’s global and diverse membership of organizations who publish. Please submit your statements of interest or reply to me with any questions to me at lhart@crossref.org.

Help with Participation Reports

Anna Tolwinska — Tue, 17 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000

What are Participation Reports?

Participation reports give—for the first time—a clear picture for anyone to see the metadata Crossref has. This is data that’s long been available via our Public REST API, now visualized. There’s a separate Participation Report for each member.

Why do I need to look at this report?

It’s a great way to evaluate your content and see where the gaps are in your metadata. The report also offers advice on how to improve in all areas, so you should be able to clearly see how your metadata has improved over time.

Do I need to log in?

No login is required to see the information available in Participation Reports.

Are Participation Reports only for Crossref members?

No, the data in Participation Reports is ‘open’, so that anyone to see the metadata Crossref has. This is data that’s long been available via our Public REST API, but its now available via Participation Reports in a more visual format, available for anyone to view.

Does it cost anything?

No, it’s free to look up the data.

How do I look my organization up? Is it by name or by prefix.

You can select your (or other) organization name(s) by searching for it then picking from the dropdown.

Can I look up any publisher/member?

Yes, Participation Reports are open to the public and you can view reports of any Crossref member.

Will anyone be able to see my data?

Yes, Participation Reports is ‘open’, so that anyone to see the metadata Crossref has. And you can see what others see when they use Crossref metadata in their research, tools, and services.

What content types are covered by the report?

The reports cover all content items registered by a Crossref member.

What do the percentages next to the boxes mean?

These percentages enable you to see what metadata you are registering, even if this work is done by a third party or another department. The percentages show what proportion of your content has specific metadata fields registered, i.e. if 80% shows next to Abstracts then 80% of your content items have abstracts registered as part of the metadata deposit.

I looked at my report and I only see 0%. What does that mean?

It means that you haven’t yet registered additional metadata with Crossref. Richer metadata makes content more discoverable and useful, which benefits everyone. Make sure your work can be found.

I think my report is incorrect, what do I do?

If you feel like the report is not representing your metadata coverage correctly please contact support@crossref.org.

Advice for small publishers

Rachael Lammey — Mon, 09 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000

We have thousands of small publisher members from all over the world. Being small-scale doesn’t limit your ability to connect your content with the global network of online scholarly research. Each Crossref member also gets to cast their vote to create a board that represents all types of organizations.

If you publish one journal or thousands, you’re welcome to join our growing community.

Apply

Find out more about what becoming a member involves. You may want to join Crossref directly, or you can also consider joining via one of our sponsors, who can provide technical, billing, language and administrative support to members (some may charge extra for this).

Our membership team can also help with any questions you may have about joining.

Participate

We have a number of simple-to-use tools that will help you register content, deposit and link references, and participate in other Crossref services.

Register your content

Everything submitted to the Crossref system is Crossref-formatted XML. Many members generate their own XML using our deposit schema (or have a vendor do it for them) but we also have a web deposit form if you prefer to register content without using XML. You just choose the type of content you want to register and copy and paste in the details of your publications. We’ll generate the XML for you and register the content in our deposit system.

We’re working to make this process even simpler by building a new tool which will be released soon.

Link references

Crossref is all about rallying the scholarly community to work together. Because of this, reference linking is an obligation for all Crossref members and for all current journal content. Reference linking means hyperlinking to Crossref DOIs when you create your citation list. This makes it possible for readers to follow a DOI link from the reference list of a published work to the location of the full-text document on a member’s publishing platform, building a network infrastructure that enhances scholarly communications on the web.

When your organization becomes a Crossref member, you can start to look up the DOIs for your references so that you can add the links to your articles’ reference lists, so that readers can always find the content they’re looking for (and find your content).

The simplest way to find DOIs for your reference lists is to use the Simple Text Query Form. Enter your reference lists and we’ll return any DOIs that match to them.

You can also use Crossref Metadata Search to match your references to DOIs. Just paste them into the link references form and we’ll return the matches we find.

Some new tools we’re working on will make this job easier too.

OJS user?

PKP and Crossref collaborate to help publishers and journals using Open Journal Systems take better advantage of Crossref services. Additionally, PKP can act as a Sponsoring Organization for OJS journals wishing to apply for Crossref membership, and is in some cases able to waive fees.

DOI display

When registering your content with Crossref, you need to ensure your DOIs resolve to a page containing complete bibliographic information for the content with a link to—or information about—getting the full text of the content. You must include the DOI on the response page using Crossref DOI display guidelines, and use the DOI as the permanent link to the page.

Payment methods

Your deposit fees will be invoiced quarterly. Invoices can be paid through our payment portal. In addition to credit card payments we also accept wires, checks and paypal. Our Paypal recipient email address is ‘paypal@crossref.org’. Questions about logging in or billing in general can be emailed to our finance team.

Deposit fee waiver for individual members in the lowest fee category

We want to encourage our smallest members to register content, help them make the most of their membership, and make billing and payment easier. Starting in 2018, we will waive $50 USD of deposit fees each year for individual members who fall into our lowest fee category.

If this applies to you, you will see the line “deposit waiver” on your quarterly deposit invoice, and the amount waived applied against your total deposit fees. We will keep track of the amount you have remaining.

The $50 USD of waived deposit fees:
* is applied against deposits made in the current calendar year. Any unused amount does not roll over into future calendar years or get reimbursed to the member.
* is a total applied across all content types (not just journal articles), and applies to both current and backfile registrations.
* is not prorated. Members who join at any time during the year each get $50 USD of waived deposit fees for that calendar year.

If an individual member moves under a Sponsoring Member or a Sponsoring Organization account during the calendar year, any remaining waiver will no longer apply.

You can contact our membership team with any questions or to get set up, or you can get in touch with our support team for any technical or troubleshooting questions.

Hear this, real insight into the inner workings of Crossref

Joe Wass — Sun, 01 Apr 2018 00:00:00 +0000

You want to hear more from us. We hear you.

We’ve spent the past year building Crossref Event Data, and hope to launch very soon. Building a new piece of infrastructure from scratch has been an exciting project, and we’ve taken the opportunity to incorporate as much feedback from the community as possible. We’d like to take a moment to share some of the suggestions we had, and how we’ve acted on them.

We asked a focus group “What one thing would you change?”. In hindsight, we could have done a better job with the question. We did get some enlightening answers but—for legal and practical reasons—we are unable to end either world hunger or global conflict, or do any of the other things we were invited to do. So we went back to our focus group and asked “What one thing would you change about Crossref?”.

The answers were illuminating. Some of you wanted mundane things like more data dumps. A disappointing number of people wanted us to put the capital ‘R’ back in our name. But two things we heard consistently, loud and clear, were:

“I want to hear more from Crossref”
“I want to know more about what’s going on inside Crossref”

One respondent said:

I like the newsletters, and the Twitter visuals are nice enough, but I want to hear, you know, more from them.

Another:

Crossref is your typical quiet DOI Registration Agency. They make a big thing about being the background infrastructure you don’t notice. But infrastructure doesn’t have to be quiet. I live next to the M25, and I can tell you, that’s the sound of success. I mean, it’s loud.

One final quote which clinched it for us:

The outreach team is doing a great job with their multilingual videos. But you can never cover every world language. In today’s connected world, you should be thinking about the universal language.

She clarified:

No, I don’t mean XML.

We took this advice to heart. When we were building Crossref Event Data, we baked these features right in. Now you can hear what’s going on inside Crossref, any time, day or night.

Introducing the Crossref Thing Action Service!

Turn up your speakers (about half-way, it would be foolhardy to turn them too high) and visit:

live.eventdata.crossref.org/thing-action-service.html

It’s optimized for Google Chrome, but we’ve tested it in Firefox and Safari.

The Thing Action Service shows you, in excruciating sonorous detail, every single action that happens inside the Crossref Event Data system. Every time we receive live data from Twitter or Wikipedia. Every time we check a DOI. Every time we check an RSS feed. Every time we find a link to our Registered Content on the web.

In a pioneering move within the scholarly publishing space, you can hear the data as it’s being processed, live. Furthermore, we think we are the first DOI Registration Agency to offer our services in stereo.

John Chodacki, Professional Working Group Chair, said:

We welcome this innovation. From my experience Chairing, well, everything, I’m certain that hearing-impaired users will like it especially.

So sit back, put the Thing Action Service on the speakers, and relax. You may find it difficult at first, but as you let the sound waves wash over you, think of all that data in flight. That beep could be someone criticizing the article you wrote on Twitter. But don’t worry, the next one might be someone defending it.

Think of it as musique concrète. That’s the Art of Persistence.

Members with closed references

Ginny Hendricks — Fri, 30 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

This table shows a list of our members that have set (some of) their references to Closed. A new reference distribution policy was adopted by the board in 2017 and came into effect on January 1st, 2018. Crossref members can choose to set their references to ‘Open’, ‘Limited’, or ‘Closed’, per prefix.

Using this report

If you do not see a publisher on this list, then their references are not ‘Closed’. Check the ‘Open’ list and if not there either, they are ‘Limited’.
Not all members deposit references with the rest of their metadata—around one third do include them (3068 out of our 10461 members). The table below lists all members with the Closed setting, they do not necessarily deposit any references. Click the headings to sort.
Some members have more than one prefix, and some may be Closed but other prefixes not. This could be because a prefix is used for a specific content type that doesn’t generally have references e.g. datasets or components.
This table updates with every build of this website, so it may be a couple of days out of date. Check the date at the bottom of this page.
‘Backfiles’ are anything older than two years. ‘Current’ is the last two years, rolling.

Hello, meet Event Data Version 1, and new Product Manager

Christine Buske — Thu, 29 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

I joined Crossref only a few weeks ago, and have happily thrown myself into the world of Event Data as the service’s new product manager. In my first week, a lot of time was spent discussing the ins and outs of Event Data. This learning process made me very much feel like you might when you’ve just bought a house, and you’re studying the blueprints while also planning the house-warming party.

If Event Data is like a house, it’s been built and we’ve recently been putting on a last coat of paint. We’re very happy to announce version 1 of the API today. This is bringing us closer to the launch (house warming party), which will officially present Event Data to the world. Further to that analogy, while I bought into the house, I wasn’t around to see it being built. That’s both incredibly exciting and a little daunting.

Version 1 contains fixes for some challenges we came up against. Like scalability, data modeling for Wikipedia, and polishing. Version 1 is a new release of the data, but it is the same data set you already know and love. It should solve some of the recent stability issues, for which we apologize.

Moving forward, we expect the data model in V1 to persist and are not planning to make further large scale, fundamental changes to the Event Data API. As such, the version 1 release of the API is exceptional and a big step forward. It is important that we address these fixes before we go into production as it affects everyone who uses the service.

Same Event Data, new address

In setting up for the upcoming production service rollout, we have updated the Event Data API domain so that it is in line with Crossref’s suite of APIs. The Query API can now be found at a new URL. Here is an example query: https://api.eventdata.crossref.org/v1/events?rows=1

We have also simplified the standard query parameters in favor of a cleaner filter syntax.

Lastly, we have added a new “Mailto” parameter, just like in our REST API. It is encouraged but optional, so you are not obliged to supply it. We’ll only use it to contact you if there’s a problem.

Changes to the Wikipedia data structure

We’ve done a lot of work to use the canonical URLs for web pages to represent content as consistently as possible. This has entailed updating previously collected Events across data sources. As such, we’ve updated our Wikipedia data model to align with this. Because this update has impacted every Wikipedia Event in the system, we recommend those who have used or saved existing data from the deprecated Query API version to pull a new copy of the data. Read more about the rationale for changing the Wikipedia data model.

Updated data

This then brings me to how we now handle updated data. Sometimes we edit Events to add new features, or we may edit Events if there is an issue processing and/or representing the data when we provision it to the community. And sometimes we must remove Events to comply with a particular data source’s terms and conditions (ex: deleted Tweets). You can read about how updates work in the user guide.

To make life easier moving forward, we’ve split updated Events into two API endpoints. If you are already using Event Data, you will need to make some small updates to your client(s) to align with this. The new endpoints are further described in the documentation.

Event Data beta group

With the version 1 release we are making solid progress towards an official launch (the house-warming party!), we are quite excited to hear how you are using Event Data. Please consider joining our beta group, if you are using the Event Data API or want to hear about updates.

This is also where you can read about these updates in more detail.

For more information and to get started with Crossref Event Data, please refer to the user guide.

I am looking forward to seeing how Event Data is being used, and working with the community to continuously improve what we can offer through this service. Feedback is always welcome, feel free to get in touch with me at eventdata@crossref.org.

A Lustrum over the weekend

Jennifer Lin — Mon, 26 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

The ancient Romans performed a purification rite (“lustration”) after taking a census every five years. The term “lustrum” designated not only the animal sacrifice (“suovetaurilia”) but was also applied to the period of time itself. At Crossref, we’re not exactly in the business of sacrificial rituals. But over the weekend I thought it would be fun to dive into the metadata and look at very high level changes during this period of time.

Crossref provides the latest cumulative stats online. We share news about the work we do along the way in the Crossref blog, including periodic summaries such as the Executive Director’s 2017 end-of-year highlights and the annual review. But what follows is a brief and very informal survey of the population of inhabitants in the Crossref metadata-land for the current lustrum.

Works published

The first thing a census typically asks is population size. We know there are new records arriving each month with 95.7mil to date. And they do so at variable rates. But when the data is visualized, a rough yearly pattern emerges into view. (Data were collected on Mar 25, 2018; results are partial for this month.)

Each year brings with it a significant spike, an influx of new entrants, perhaps reflecting an increase in submissions at the end of the previous year. After January, volume drops down dramatically and gradually rises once more over the course of the year. We see smaller spikes at the March, June, and September mark. (Since this was a brief exercise, I did not dive into any formal research conducted on the nature of publishing cycles.)

Metadata Coverage

The next question is a look at how the population is broken up into different demographics. For this, I analyzed four key sub-populations of ORCID, funding information, license, abstract metadata. The following graph shows the percentage of new parties (i.e., works registered at Crossref containing these metadata) across four specific segments.

I ran Karthik Ram’s script which employed rOpenSci’s r client for the Crossref REST API. Data are based on publication date rather than deposit date and represent all updates to the metadata record for the baseline view.

The census graph shows extensive empty space on the top half, indicating there is ample room for continual growth in these communities. The ORCID population is expanding the fastest, followed by license and funding. Abstracts are a minority group and quite visibly needs a population boost here in Crossref-land.

This view does not capture the percentages across content types nor does it take into account the differential rate of growth between content types (e.g., journal article, book, report, conference proceeding, dissertation, dataset, component, posted content, peer review) as the Crossref corpus has grown. While ORCID, funding, and license information are available for all full content types (viz., excludes components), this matters for abstracts. Abstracts are part of the metadata schema of all relevant content types. This excludes those which do not apply: dataset, component, and peer reviews. All things considered though, the relative impact on the total percentage of metadata deposited (or not deposited) is miniscule given the small sums for these works.

Calling the real demographers & cartographers

This mini-pseudo-lustrum was the result of a few hours of play. The graphs have raised more questions than answers. We welcome more serious and earnest efforts to dive into the metadata and conduct a more detailed, reliable investigation on the size, distribution and composition of the population through our REST API. Next month, we will roll out reports on metadata coverage based on individual members.

This “play” census came out of a session with Karthik Ram, one of the founders of rOpenSci, as we talked about struggle to build better tools for researchers. (rOpenSci is an exciting and influential non-profit that builds open source software for research with a community of users and developers and educates scientists about transparent research practices.) With each round of cocktails, it became clear that a critical subset of the issues boiled down to the problem of limited information about research publications. Why, that is what Crossref does! Indeed. Publishers register their content with Crossref and provide the metadata about the works they publish.

Over the past few years, we have been working with our members to broaden the coverage of the metadata as well as improve their metadata quality. This issue is not exclusive to Crossref - Metadata 2020 rallies stakeholders across the research enterprise to push for change together.

To represent the full breadth and depth of the scholarly communications enterprise, Crossref aims to capture the richness of what our members publish through the content they register. So publishers, powerfully represent your services and make sure your metadata is complete and correct for discovery systems, indexing platforms, research evaluation systems, analytics tools, and the great number of Crossref metadata consumers far and wide.

How we use Crossref metadata

Christine Cormack Wood — Mon, 26 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Bruce Rosenblum, CEO, Inera Incorporated talks about the work they are doing at Inera, and how they’re using our metadata as part of their workflow.

Can you tell us little bit about Inera, and yourself

I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of publishing and technology. At Inera I help scholarly and technical publishers improve their workflows through technology, and build editorial and XML software solutions to improve the publication workflow. I lead the development teams for our eXtyles and Edifix products, and I also participate in community projects: co-authoring the original NLM DTD suite, developing the Crossref Metadata Deposit Schema in 2001, and serving for 8 years on the NISO board. I continue to work on JATS and BITS development, and I co-chair the NISO STS Working Group. Before joining Inera, I developed publishing technology such as an Apple II Word processor for Chinese in 1981, and early micro-computer desktop publishing systems in the late 1980s.

At Inera, we develop and license the eXtyles family of Word-based editorial and XML software tools (including eXtyles, eXtyles NLM, eXtyles STS, and eXtyles SI) as well as Edifix, an online bibliographic reference solution. eXtyles and Edifix allow users to automate the most time-consuming aspects of document publication. Publishers of scholarly journals and books, standards, and government documents around the world rely on our software solutions to drive efficient, effective publishing workflows.

Inera and Crossref have collaborated since 2001, and we jointly won the 2014 NEPCo Award for the ongoing symbiotic relationship between our organizations.

What problem is your software and service trying to solve?

Publishers receive manuscripts from authors who have deep knowledge of their subject matter but are sometimes not expert writers and rarely expert users of Microsoft Word. Our eXtyles and Edifix solutions are designed to help publishers rapidly and accurately prepare these manuscripts for publication by automating a lot of technical and editorial cleanup, then producing high-quality JATS and BITS XML.

Within eXtyles and Edifix, we have sophisticated algorithms that heuristically parse bibliographic references, copyedit them automatically to a publisher’s editorial style, and then link them to Crossref and PubMed. These features eliminate a lot of repetitive detail copy editing work so that human editors can focus on higher-level editing tasks, and they produce more accurate bibliographies that include online links, with a fraction of the work that it would take to look up, check, and correct each reference manually.

How are you using Crossref Metadata at Inera?

Simply stated, we use Crossref metadata in our products to ensure that bibliographic reference lists are as complete, correct, and up to date as possible at the point of publication.

Both eXtyles and Edifix use Crossref metadata to improve reference lists. Our reference processing module pulls apart references to journal articles, books, book chapters, conference papers, and standards, applies elements based on the JATS reference model, and then reconstructs them according to the editorial style chosen by the user (e.g., AMA, APA, MLA, or a custom-configured style to meet customers’ requirements).

Crossref metadata is used for two primary purposes. First, we query the Crossref database to obtain DOI links for journal articles, books, conferences, and other types of references. This link lookup helps our customers fulfill their Crossref membership obligations and helps ensure that researchers get appropriate credit for citations of their work. Second, we use the metadata obtained from Crossref to improve the accuracy of author-supplied reference entries.

What values do you pull from our APIs?

The most important metadata value we retrieve is the DOI itself. Because the majority of bibliographic references in author manuscripts do not include DOIs, a key feature of our service is DOI retrieval. However, we use metadata well beyond the DOIs once we’ve matched a record. Even if a reference already has a DOI, we still do a traditional query, using the other available reference elements, to retrieve a DOI and compare the results to flag discrepancies. We’ve found that ~20% of author-supplied DOIs are incorrect, so correcting these discrepancies is one of myriad ways that our software uses Crossref metadata to improve references before publication.

We also pull all of the other fields that are used to build a bibliographic reference—complete author list, title of the item, publication date, volume, pages, and so on—and use these elements to correct and improve the reference. By filling in missing data (e.g., volume, issue, and page numbers) and flagging discrepancies between author-supplied entries and Crossref metadata (e.g., author names in a different order, words missing or misspelled in an article or chapter title), our software assures publishers of a high-quality bibliography with minimal manual effort.

Finally, we use Crossmark metadata to flag references that may have been corrected—or retracted—to inform editors when an item may need further attention from an author. Did the author knowingly cite a retracted article? If not, does that change the science of the paper citing that retracted item?

Have you built your own interface to extract this data?

Yes, we’ve built our own tools to query Crossref’s APIs. In 2002, we used the old “piped-query” API to submit elements of journal references, but we outgrew this API because it returned too many false positive results and missed other DOIs that were correct, and because we wanted to query Crossref for DOIs to other reference types (e.g., books, conference papers, reports) as well as journals. We switched to XML queries in 2006, and the result was a huge improvement in the quality and quantity of DOI links for our customers.

But just moving to XML queries still wasn’t good enough. Eight years ago, we wanted to improve DOI retrieval of non-journal items like reports, and we found that the existing Crossref APIs didn’t provide what we needed. So we collaborated with Crossref CTO Chuck Koscher to create the author–title query as an extension to regular XML queries. The result was a dramatic improvement in our ability to retrieve DOIs to non-journal items. The author–title query was a precursor to Crossref’s current metadata APIs, and it continues to serve us well.

How often do you extract or query data?

All the time! Our customers are located all around the world in more than 25 countries on six continents, so Crossref metadata queries from our software are happening continually, at any time of the day or night, seven days a week, and even on holidays.

There are two other important ways that our software interacts with Crossref APIs every day. First, Crossref’s Simple Text Query (STQ) service, which is used by smaller publishers to meet their Crossref requirement to add DOIs to their reference lists, was built using Inera’s reference parsing engine. In this case, our software runs on Crossref’s servers and is an integral part of the Crossref ecosystem.

Second, to test our products, we run a comprehensive automated quality assurance process every night that tests all aspects of our software and ensures day-over-day stability. When we added Crossref linking functionality in 2003, we began running several thousand Crossref queries per night, looking for consistency in our software’s results. A few months later, we noted an unexpected change: a reference that had previously returned a DOI failed to link! We contacted Crossref about the “lost” DOI, and upon investigation, Crossref discovered that in the process of re-depositing 20,000 DOIs, the publisher had accidentally inverted author surnames and given names in all of those records.

Crossref immediately recognized the value of Inera’s automated testing, and its ability to unearth such errors, to Crossref and its members. Over time, the number of DOIs we test nightly has grown to tens of thousands, so we’ve worked with Crossref to develop an automated reporting and analysis process that makes detecting and resolving the issues highlighted by our internal testing more efficient.

The co-development of the author–title query API and the sharing of our nightly test suite results are just two examples that highlight the nature of the Inera–Crossref relationship: it’s characterized by technology integration, bidirectional information exchange, and innovative problem solving.

What are the future plans for Inera?

We’re constantly working to improve eXtyles and Edifix and to develop new and innovative ways to help our customers. Here are a few examples:

Two years ago, at the peak of the Zika outbreak, we received an urgent request from the World Health Organization to help them deposit DOIs for articles that had been submitted but not yet peer reviewed (see Zika Open). Within 16 hours of their request, we developed, tested, and deployed updated software that allowed WHO to publish information vital to researchers, including DOIs, within hours of receipt.

With respect to Crossref APIs, we plan to integrate the Crossref query features to retrieve DOIs for standards that are deposited by organizations like IEEE, ASTM, and BSI. We also plan to expand our linking and verification capabilities to incorporate newer reference types such as preprints and data citations.

More broadly, we’re very excited about the eXtyles Metadata Extraction technology we released last year. This technology can be used by online submission systems and preprint servers to automatically extract key metadata elements (title, abstract, authors, affiliations, keywords) from author-submitted manuscripts, no matter what “style” the author may have used to format the manuscript. This technology is already in-use at Aries Systems to simplify the submission process. We’re looking forward, soon, to seeing this technology used by preprint servers and institutional repositories to automate the collection and deposit of preprint metadata to Crossref.

New Board Chair Paul Peters shares our mission

Ginny Hendricks — Thu, 22 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

At the end of last year, Paul Peters—CEO of our member Hindawi—became the new Chair of the Crossref Board. The announcement was made in Singapore at our first LIVE Annual ever held in Asia. I caught up with Paul back in London, UK, where he answered a few questions about what he hopes to bring to the Board, and to the Crossref community as a whole.

1. Congratulations, Paul. How delighted were you to be voted in by your fellow board members, old and new?

That’s a rather leading question ;-)

Seriously though, I am incredibly honored to have been chosen to lead Crossref’s board at such an important point in the organization’s development. The current composition of the board is as diverse as it has ever been, which is essential if the board is to represent Crossref’s global membership, as well as the wide range of business and publication models that our members use. This diversity on the board will help to support Crossref’s aim of encouraging innovation in scholarly communication by providing open infrastructure that benefits all researchers.

2. You’ve been on our board for nine years. How has it changed in that time and what should the board be most proud of?

When I first joined the board, Crossref was at the stage where you had successfully established persistent reference linking as a standard practice among scholarly journal publishers. And, although this was the original purpose of Crossref, it was by no means an easy task, as it required a diverse group of competing publishers to work together in building shared infrastructure for the common good.

In the nine years since then, I’ve seen Crossref continue to build on this core foundation of technological expertise, the trust and goodwill of its membership, and the diverse skills of its small staff. The result has been the development of important new services (such as Similarity Check) that have become an essential component of the scholarly communications system, support new content types (including both preprints and peer review reports) that are becoming increasingly important in the move towards an Open Science future, and the expansion of Crossref’s membership to include almost 10,000 members of all shapes and sizes from 114 countries around the world.

With regard to the board itself, I have been pleased to see Crossref undergo important changes that have provided greater transparency in the organization’s governance, as well as more active participation from its members. Last year Crossref put out an open call to invite members to put themselves forward for consideration on the board. As a result of holding its first contested election, Crossref saw a dramatic increase in the engagement of members in the election process. Not only is this important for ensuring that the board is truly representative of the diverse membership, but it will also help to actively engage a larger pool of members in the important work that lies ahead.

3. What do you see as Crossref’s strengths and role?

I believe that Crossref’s past and future success relies on two key strengths. The first is its ability to bring together a large and disparate community of organizations and individuals to create tools and services that no single organization could develop alone. People sometimes overlook how successful Crossref has been in building the trust and support of a diverse group of stakeholders, however I believe this has been an essential ingredient in the organization’s success and will be essential as Crossref develops new tools and services in the years to come.

Crossref’s other core strength has been the expertise, passion, and ambitious vision of its staff, many of whom I have had the pleasure of knowing since my first days on the board. The ability to develop and maintain real-time infrastructure serving millions of end-users, while simultaneously developing new products and services, requires an incredible range of skills from technology and product development, to marketing, community outreach, and customer support. Moreover, as a growing non-profit organization with thousands of members around the world, and an international staff working across national boundaries, Crossref’s legal, financial, and administrative support team have also been an essential ingredient in the organization’s success.

4. We’ve grown beyond just the publisher constituency to libraries, scholars, and platforms and tools, which constituencies do you see us involving next?

Over time I believe that Crossref’s constituency will grow to cover all organizations that contribute to the creation and dissemination of scholarly research, although I recognize this may take several years to achieve.

In the short-term, I believe that research funders are the most important stakeholder group for Crossref to focus on, for the following reasons:

First, with the development of the open Funder Registry and the addition of structured funding data to the Crossref registry, Crossref has already become an important provider of open infrastructure for research funders.
Second, as the result of several key initiatives within the Open Science movement I believe that research funders will play an increasingly important role in determining how scholarly research outputs are created, shared, evaluated, and re-used. Therefore, the active involvement of research funders in Crossref’s membership and governance is essential.
Finally, I believe that there is an important opportunity for Crossref to enable a range of new services across the research lifecycle by providing persistent identifiers and structured metadata research grants. Given how critical grants are within the research process, I’m amazed by the lack of infrastructure to monitor, evaluate, and build upon grants as first-class research objects. In many cases there is minimal, if any, public information about the grants that have been awarded by a particular funder. Even in cases where such data is available, it is rarely structured in a way that enables it to be searched or analyzed across multiple funding agencies.

In the absence of a community-driven, non-profit organization like Crossref to provide this infrastructure on an open basis, there is a risk that funders will be forced to rely on proprietary alternatives that limit how this information is used and by whom. Fortunately there are already efforts underway within Crossref to develop both the tools and the community of funders that will be required to create persistent identifiers and structured metadata for grants and other forms of research funding.

5. What are the biggest challenges facing Crossref?

I believe that Crossref’s greatest challenge will be to continue to bring together a diverse group of stakeholders, some of whom are regularly at odds with each other, in order to collaborate in developing tools and services for the benefit of the research community.

As challenging as it has been for Crossref to bring together competing publishers to build the shared services that we have all come to depend on, I believe that keeping the community focused towards a common goal will become even more challenging as that community expands to include funders, universities, and the many other organizations involved in the scholarly communications ecosystem. However, I think that Ed and his team have as good of a chance of succeeding as anyone could hope for, which is why I am so excited about Crossref’s future in the years ahead.

6. How will things change with you as Chair? You’ll be busier I guess. But enough about you already, what can we expect as staff and Board?

As my first order of business I’ll be getting rid of Crossref’s corporate jet, lavish office spaces, and executive chef. </sarcasm>.

On a more serious note, my hope is that as Chair I will be able to work with the other members of the board in supporting Crossref’s staff as they work to achieve the ambitious goals we have set out during the past year. I believe that Crossref’s board members and staff are aligned in the desire to significantly expand the range of services Crossref provides, as well as the communities it serves.

The board still has an important role to play in shaping the organization’s strategic vision, while giving staff ample space to execute on this vision. Said another way, I hope to enable some lively strategic conversations among the board while making sure that we don’t get in the way of Ed and his team once it’s time to put ideas into action.

On a more personal note, I hope to be a good sounding board for Ed on any issues that he faces, either internally or externally, on the road ahead. Given my own experience in leading a growing organization through a period of significant change, I know how important it can be to have someone to talk to when difficult challenges arise, which they inevitably will. I hope that I can be a good advisor—and also a good friend—to Ed as he leads Crossref into the exciting future that lies ahead.

Ginny: Thanks, Paul. I know Ed will miss his personal chef… but we look forward to working with you too!

Cited-by

Mon, 19 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Researchers cite other people’s work to acknowledge the material they used when writing their own paper. It’s useful to see which articles go on to cite the paper you’re reading, and how it may have built on or challenged it’s ideas.

Cited-by helps members find out who is citing their content, display the counts, and link to the citing content. Members tell us what works their papers are referencing by giving us that information as metadata when they register content. Then they can query which papers are citing their content.

Members who use this service are helping readers to:

easily navigate to related research;
see how the work has been received by the wider community; and
explore how ideas evolve over time by highlighting connections between works.

Watch the introductory animation in your language: français; español; português do Brasil; 简体中文; 日本語; 한국어; العربية; or in English below.

How it works

Members who include references in their own metadata, are able to query publications that cite their content. This allows for the display of citation counts and lists on articles so readers can see that the content they’re reading is being cited, as in the New Journal of Physics example ( https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/1/1/006), also displayed here:

How to participate

Cited-by follows a simple three-step process:

Step 1: Publishers deposit references as part of the regular content registration.
Step 2: We match the metadata in the references to DOIs to establish a Cited-by relationship in the database. As new content is registered we automatically update the relationships and notify you of new links.
Step 3: Publishers and hosting platforms query relationships, retrieve the metadata of citing articles and display the links on their website.

Best practice

Participation in Cited-by is optional, but encouraged.
Because citations can happen any time, Cited-by links must be kept up-to-date. So, members should either check regularly for new citations or (if performing XML queries) set the alert attribute to “true”. This means the search will be saved in the system and you’ll get an alert when there is a new match.
Once retrieved, Cited-by counts should be included and linked on your website.

Obligations & fees

Participation in Cited-by is optional.
There is no charge for Cited-by.
You must include references when you register content, in order to be eligible for Cited-by.
You only retrieve Cited-by metadata for your own content.
Our public APIs include Cited-by counts but not the actual works.

Best practice for book content

Jennifer Kemp — Wed, 14 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Scholarly and professional publishers are increasingly publishing book content online and depositing the metadata and identifiers with Crossref. Crossref has a critical mass of nearly 13 million book titles and chapters in its system of which 1.25 million are book titles. This means that there are nearly 1.25 million titles available for reference linking and other Crossref services like CrossMark and Similarity Check. However, reference linking from and between books is more limited than with journals because many books and book chapters are in PDF so the references are extracted, deposited with Crossref and linked.

The Crossref Books Advisory Group reviewed the original Crossref Best Practices for Books published in 2008 and has updated them. The goal of the best practices is to:

Maximize reference linking between books and other Crossref content types including journals and conference proceedings
Ensure that Crossref collects and distributes persistent identifiers and authoritative metadata for online books
Ensure that book content is part of all Crossref services
Enhance the discovery, visibility, and usage of book content

Registering metadata, linking, and Crossref DOI use

More detailed information about books is available on the Crossref website. Crossref members should:

Register the content by depositing Crossref metadata at the time of online publication and assign Crossref DOIs at the title and chapter/entry level.
Add outbound DOI links from references in books. Outbound links are DOIs written in the form of URLs, eg https://doi.org/10.1234/56789.
Deposit references from books with Crossref to enable Crossref Cited-by Linking.
Instruct authors to cite specific chapters and entries using page numbers, chapter/entry titles and Crossref DOIs.
Update editorial guidelines: Ask copyeditors to look for page numbers and chapter titles in book citations. Use Crossref tools to check references as part of the production process so that references can be corrected and missing information added.

Updates and versions

This section divides updates into two types: major versions and minor versions. Major version changes will refer to updates that may affect the interpretation of a work and in the case of books titles means a new edition with a new ISBN. Major version changes imply that the publisher will formally notify readers that content has changed (through errata, corrigenda, or new editions (which would also get a new ISBN).

Minor version changes are unlikely to affect a reader’s interpretation of the work, and the publisher will not generally draw attention to the changes. Just as publishers now decide when a new print edition or version is warranted, it is the publisher’s responsibility to distinguish between major and minor versions in online content.

Given the above definitions the recommended best practice is:

Assign new DOIs to new major versions or editions of books, chapters and entries. This practice will preserve the scholarly citation record. Older versions should remain available online with links to the latest version. In actual operation, a reader follows a link to the version cited and then has the option to link to the current version.
Do not assign new DOIs to minor new versions of books, chapters and entries.
Where book content is hosted on multiple platforms (e.g. NetLibrary, ebrary) and publishers wish to enable linking from a single DOI to those platforms they should use Crossref Multiple Resolution. This enables multiple URLs to be associated with one DOI.
Publishers who need to assign distinct DOIs to single titles across multiple platforms may use Co-access. Co-access allows multiple depositors to assign distinct DOIs to a single item. When enabled for participating publishers, the Crossref system will collate the distinct DOIs and direct them to a single landing page containing URLs to the resources on different platforms.

Citation matching

Book title queries

In order to enable citation matching at the title level, the minimum query needs to include the following elements:

book title
book author
book copyright year

In order to increase the accuracy of matching, publishers should use as many of the following elements as possible in the query:

editor (where appropriate)
book title
ISBN
ISSN / DOI
Book copyright year
publisher

Book chapters or reference entry queries

In order to enable citation matching at the chapter or entry level, into parts of a book deposit the minimum query needs to include the following elements:

book title
title and subtitle should be separated with a colon (:)
book year
chapter author
first page

In order to increase the accuracy of matching, publishers should use as many of the following elements as possible in the query:

editor (where appropriate)
book title
year
publisher
chapter author (where appropriate)
chapter title
Note, combining chapter title and chapter author return the best matches
chapter first page

DOIs in citations

Following a review in 2017 of common citation style guides and publishers’ instructions to authors, Crossref recommends the following guidelines for the use of DOIs in citations, of any style or format:

Including Crossref DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) whenever they are available: https://search.crossref.org can be used to search for registered content
Expressing DOIs as links following Crossref DOI display guidelines
Describing in guidelines to authors use of these Identifiers for each content type (aka formats, e.g. journals, conference proceedings, etc.), where journal citations are described separately from books(e.g.) and/or making a general statement about their broad applicability.
Books that have DOIs at the title and chapter levels should be cited accordingly.
Print materials, of any content type, may display Crossref Digital Identifiers, but should not have their own, print-only Crossref DOIs.
Providing information (to Crossref, if not publicly) on update cycles, when possible, and contact information for keeping in touch with questions or future developments (e.g. new content types).

Please contact our support team with any questions about registering or retrieving book metadata.

Crossref LIVE in Tokyo

Rachael Lammey — Thu, 08 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000

What better way to start our program of LIVE locals in 2018 than with a trip to Japan? With the added advantage of it being Valentine’s Day, it seemed a good excuse to share our love of metadata with a group who feel the same way!

We’ve worked closely with the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) since 2002, and were delighted when they agreed to collaborate with us on a LIVE event at their offices in Tokyo.

With help from the team at JST, we welcomed around 80 attendees—a mix of editors, publishers and enthusiastic metadata users—who all enjoyed the talks from our guest speakers, Nobuko Miyari from ORCID, Ritsuko Nakajima from JST and Tatsuji Tomioka from Kyoto University Library (who talked about the use of DOIs and metadata in their research information repository, named KURENAI).

Vanessa Fairhurst and I also took part in the days program and talked about the different services that Crossref offers. With many of our members in Japan already well-versed in DOIs, we placed the focus of our sessions around the importance of accurate, complete metadata, and new content types (such as peer reviews and preprints). We also discussed our new community initiatives such as the OI project, identifiers for grants and Metadata2020.

We’d like to say a big thank you to Kentaro Kinoshita from JST for his help with organizing the event. We’d also like to thank the excellent team of translators who assisted us greatly by relaying the content to the audience in Japanese—being able to offer information and take questions in English and Japanese was an invaluable part of the day.

Any questions?

One day is never quite enough to cover all things Crossref, so we were happy to answer questions from the enthusiastic audience:

What metadata is required to register peer review reports with Crossref?
To answer this we pointed them to this informative blog on peer reviews.

How can I find information on using your REST API?
This is a great starting point, and most information can be found here https://api.crossref.org

Is the forthcoming Metadata Manager tool something I can use?
Yes! We hope it will make it much easier for you to deposit good metadata—and if you are in interested in participating in our open beta, let us know.

We’re looking forward to continuing to collaborate with JST, and are really grateful for their help in working with us to make the event go so smoothly. Thank you to those who joined us, and we hope to see you again soon.

Thank you to all who attended and spoke at #CRLIVETokyo and to @jir_o for tweeting and JST for hosting us in Japan 🇯🇵 pic.twitter.com/nUoM7gr5rR

Are you having an identity crisis?

Amanda Bartell — Fri, 23 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000

We work with a huge range of organizations in the scholarly communications world—publishers, libraries, universities, government agencies, funders, publishing service providers, and researcher services providers—and you each have different relationships with us.

Some of you are members who create and disseminate your own content, register it with us by depositing metadata, and help steer our future by voting in our annual board elections. Some of you don’t vote in our board elections but do play a vital role by registering content on members’ behalf.

And some of you make use of the metadata provided by our members and so perform a key service by getting their published works out into the world, but don’t vote in our board elections.

After a recent review we realized our Member Types weren’t completely clear, and may in fact have led to a bit of confusion. With this in mind, we put some thought into their revision and have now given them the clarity they were missing. Over the course of this year we’ll be checking that everyone is in the right group and getting the appropriate support based on your Member Type.

Former Member Type name	New Member Type name
Publisher	Member
Sponsoring Publisher	Sponsoring Member
Represented Member	Sponsored Member
Sponsoring Entity	Sponsoring Organization
Sponsored Member	Sponsored Organization
Affiliate	Metadata User
Service Provider	(No change to Member Type name)

So, what’s different?

The changes we’ve made help to differentiate if you’re a voting member (and therefore have a say in our future direction), or not. If you are a voting member, you’ll now have the word “Member” in your title—and if you’re not—you won’t, as the diagram below indicates.

Where there are two organizations with a sponsorship arrangement in place (with a sponsoring party and a sponsored party), one of you will always be the voting party, and the other will be non-voting. These partnerships will therefore always contain one “Member” and one “Organization”.

We’ve also stopped using the word “Publisher” in our Member Types as not all our members consider themselves to be publishers — sometimes you’re libraries, funders, scholars, repositories, etc. As it says in one of our truths “Come one, come all: we define publishing broadly. If you communicate research and care about preserving the scholarly record, join us.”

How do you know if you are a voting member?

Voting members fall into three Member Types: Members, Sponsoring Members and Sponsored Members.

This means you are Organizations who create and disseminate content, and therefore contribute to the scholarly record. Some of you register your content directly with us and some via a third party, but the key thing is that you’re adding to our metadata records, and as such can have a say in the future direction of Crossref. Voting members can also take metadata out of our system — and many of you do — however, your key relationship with us is as a member who is contributing to the scholarly record.

It also means you have obligations to keep your records up-to-date, and maximize links with other Crossref members.

What’s the difference between the voting categories?

Members
As a Member (formerly known as Publishers), you create and disseminate content, register your own content with us (usually under a single prefix), and are able to vote in our board elections. You pay an annual fee based on your publishing revenue, plus deposit fees for all new DOIs.

Sponsoring Members
As a Sponsoring Member (formerly known as a Sponsoring Publisher), you do everything a standard member does, but as well as registering your own content under your own DOI prefix, you also register content on behalf of other, smaller publishers (ideally using separate DOI prefixes so the metadata is accurate and can be reported on separately and relied upon downstream).

When you vote, you vote on behalf of the organizations that you sponsor. You pay an annual fee based on your publishing revenue/expenses plus the publishing revenue of your sponsored organizations, and you also pay deposit fees for all new metadata records registered. You look after deposit billing for the organizations you sponsor, and provide technical and language support for them.

Some of our larger members may be thinking that you should be in this Member Type - and you’re probably right! During the course of 2018 we’ll be working with you to transition you over to Sponsoring Membership. If you are a Member who is thinking of becoming a Sponsoring Member, please get in touch.

Sponsored Members
As a Sponsored Member (formerly known as a Represented Member), you create and disseminate content, but you don’t register your content directly with us—this is done by your Sponsoring Organization. Because of this it’s you, the one who creates and disseminates the content and thus contributes to the scholarly record, who can vote.

How do you know if you are a non-voting member?

If you haven’t spotted yourself yet, you may be one of the non-voting organizations we work with — these fall into four Member Types: Sponsoring Organizations, Sponsored Organizations, Service Providers and Metadata Users.

As a non-voting organization, you may still register content with us, but you either don’t create and disseminate the content yourselves, or you’re already represented by a voting organization. Non-voting organizations also include those whose only relationship with us is to make use of our metadata.

What’s the difference between the non-voting categories?

Sponsoring Organizations
As a Sponsoring Organization (formerly known as a Sponsoring Affiliate), you don’t create and disseminate content yourself, but you do register content with us on behalf of your Sponsored Members — preferably using distinct DOI prefixes for each member. You also often look after their administrative, technical, billing and language support needs. You’ll pay us an annual fee based on the publishing revenue of all your members, and deposit fees for all new DOIs. You might charge the members you work with for this service. You also provide support and promotion of our services and activities.

Sponsored Organizations
As a Sponsored Organization (formerly known as a Sponsored Member), you do create and disseminate content yourself, but you don’t register your own content. This is done by a Sponsoring Member, and as they have the member vote, you can’t have one too. For this reason, we’ve removed the word “Member” from your title, to make your voting position clearer. Of course, your Sponsoring Member needs to represent your needs too when voting, so make sure you make them known!

Service Providers
As a Service Provider you work closely with our members to collect and/or host and/or deposit metadata on their behalf. Unlike a Sponsoring Organization however you don’t get involved with administrative, technical, billing or language support for the members you work with, but you’re a key partner in helping them deposit quality metadata and contribute effectively to the scholarly record. During 2018 we’ll be working more closely with you to help you collaborate with us more effectively.

Metadata Users
Metadata Users (formerly known as Affiliates), you are the organizations who don’t register content with us, but you do make use of it through our free and open APIs and search interfaces, or our paid-for Metadata Plus service, giving you access to a premium version of both the REST API and OAI-PMH. Of course all members can get metadata out of our systems as well, but if the only thing you do with us is get metadata out, then you’re a Metadata User.

Don’t know which Member Type you are?

We’re hoping these new names make it clearer, but if you’re still confused, please get in touch with our Membership team

Wellcome explains the benefits of developing an open and global grant identifier

Ginny Hendricks — Fri, 16 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Wellcome, in partnership with Crossref and several research funders including the NIH and the MRC, are looking to pilot an initiative in which new grants would be assigned an open, global and interoperable grant identifier. Robert Kiley (Open Research) and Nina Frentrop (Grants Operations) from the Wellcome explain the potential benefits this would deliver and how it might work.

Introduction

As a funder we want to be able to track the outputs that arise from research we have funded. Currently, this is not as straightforward as it should be as researchers do not always cite their funder correctly, let alone their specific grant number. And, even when they do this accurately, because every funder users its own set of grant IDs, these numbers are not unique. For example, we can use EuropePMC to look up outputs from grants with ID 207467, and see that there is one Wellcome grant with this number, and one from the European Research Council.

To resolve such issues, we need a system in which every grant awarded is giving a unique, global ID. Global IDs are already assigned to articles DOIs, people ORCIDs and even biological materials RRIDs. It is time for the funder community to follow suit.

Benefits of an open & global grant identifier system

Once implemented, it would make the identification of grant-specific research outputs more accurate, whilst simultaneously reducing the burden on the researcher.

Currently, researchers are typically asked to manually disclose what outputs have arisen from their funding. In the future, such disclosures would be fully automated. We are already seeing how publishers—who collect ORCIDs through their manuscript submission system—automatically update the author’s ORCID record with details of new publications. If a global ID system for grants was developed, publishers and repositories could also require these to be disclosed on submission, and this data could then programmatically be passed to researcher assessment platforms, like ResearchFish.

How would it work?

For a global grant ID system to work, two things need to happen. First, when a new grant is awarded, that grant must be assigned a unique ID. For the pilot project we plan to contract with Crossref who will register a unique ID, (a DOI) for every grant we register.

Second, every DOI must resolve to a publicly accessible web site, where information about that grant is disclosed. Again, for this pilot we will almost certainly use the Europe PMC Grants Finder Repository, as we already make grant data available from this resource.

A working group has been established to determine precisely what metadata we should make available, but it is likely to include the name of the grant holder, title and value of the award, a short abstract, along with the name of the funder and the unique ID. Mindful that funders already assign IDs to the grants they award and that any changes to this process may be problematic (and certainly time consuming), the plan is to register a DOI which still makes use of the existing grant ID. To make it unique however, the ID will be prefixed with a funder identifier, most likely the Funder Registry ID.

Next steps

Whilst the metadata working group is focusing on the technical aspects of the pilot, a separate “governance group” is examining how a funder might become a member of Crossref and what the business model for registering grant DOIs should be.

In parallel with this, a pilot “proof of concept” initiative is under way, and we anticipate that by autumn 2018 we will have registered DOIs for a defined cohort of grants.

Ultimately we want to get to a situation where every grant has a unique ID, which can then be unambiguously linked to the all outputs – articles, data, code, materials, patents etc. – which arise from it.

And, if every funder were to adopt such a system and expose their grant metadata in a consistent, machine-readable way, it would facilitate the development of applications to help funders get a greatly enhanced picture of the global funding landscape, which in turn would inform strategic planning and resource allocation.

PIDs for Conferences & Projects

Christine Cormack Wood — Fri, 02 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000

This group aims to establish a persistent identifier (PID) system and registry for scholarly conferences. Once the metadata standards for conferences and conference series are defined, the group will also deal with providing a standardized description of conference peer review processes.

The use of PIDs helps one to record metadata about the conferences and, when applied to published proceedings, enable more efficient decision making for researchers, libraries, publishers, funding and evaluation bodies. Longer term, it also helps to identify fraudulent and/or low-quality conferences.

Currently the group involves a good number of representative publishers and has regular calls every 1-2 months. You can follow the group activity on twitter using #confpid tag or via the DataCite blog and our own.

Please see blog post Taking the con out of conferences for background information.

Meet the members, Part 2 (with protocols.io)

Christine Cormack Wood — Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Second in our Meet the members blog series is Lenny Teytelman, co-founder and CEO of protocols.io, who gives us a bit of insight into his background and why he started protocols.io, what the future plans for protocols.io are, and how they use and benefit from being a Crossref member.

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself, and why you started protocols.io?

I am a computational and experimental biologist, and it was my struggle with correcting a published research method as a postdoctoral researcher at MIT that led me to co-found protocols.io. I spent a year and a half correcting a single step of a research recipe. Instead of 1ul of a chemical, it needed 5, instead of a 15-minute incubation, it needed an hour. But this was a correction of something previously published, not a new method, so absurdly, it was not a result that I could publish. That means I got no credit for this year and a half, and more importantly, every other scientist using this recipe is either getting misleading results or has to waste 1-2 years rediscovering what I know—rediscovering something that I’d love to share, but have no easy way of doing so.

So, I became obsessed with creating a central place where scientists can easily share and discover detailed research recipes. We’re open access, free-to-read and free-to-publish, with web & mobile apps that make these protocols dynamic and interactive.

What problem is your service trying to solve?

Currently, methods sections of research papers are full of things like “we used a slightly modified version of the method reported in paperX”. Here are two examples:

We are working to increase reproducibility, by encouraging precise detailing of methods and then making it easy to keep these methods up-to-date, long after the paper is published. More broadly, our mission is to accelerate science by getting the detailed knowledge out of paper notebooks, and getting it out in months, instead of years.

Tell us a little bit about what you publish and for whom.

Both the content, and the audience for it, has been expanding recently. When we launched in 2014, the protocols were almost exclusively wetlab biology recipes. In 2015, we added support for computational workflows and began to see bioinformatics methods. More recently, thanks to the referrals from PLOS ONE, we’ve started to see protocols for human trials, medical devices, psychology, and more. About half a year ago, we changed our landing page form “Open Access Repository of Life Science Methods” to the more general “Open Access Repository of Research Methods”.

The readership is also broadening, it’s no longer just professional researchers—we now have protocols and guidelines for undergraduate and high school students, instructions for citizen science projects, and even standard operating procedures for lab management. We’ve also been seeing more off-the-shelf use, with people sharing actual cooking recipes, and we recently began asking authors to classify whether they are sharing “research” or “non-research” instructions.

How would you describe the value of being a Crossref member?

Without a doubt, we would be nowhere close to the adoption and sharing that we have now if we were not members of Crossref, registering DOIs for all public protocols. This is an absolute prerequisite for being included in author guidelines of journals, and we wouldn’t have grown in 2017 from two to over 200 journals that encourage authors to detail their recipes on protocols.io.

In addition to the benefit to protocols.io, there is a benefit to the scientists in terms of the quality control that Crossref ensures among the members. Much of this is behind the scenes and invisible to the researchers visiting protocols.io.

For example, in the beginning, we used to simply delete spam protocols. However, once we started issuing DOIs, we realized that we would be violating the Crossref requirements for minted DOIs if we simply trashed these. As a result, we had to build “retraction” functionality that allows us to take down content, put up a notice explaining the reason for removal, and keep the record so that the respective DOI continues to resolve. This is the correct way to handle removals of scientific content and it is Crossref that made us mature and improve the platform. (We’ve since had to use the retraction functionality at the request of scientists, and we’re glad we implemented it to comply with the Crossref requirements.)

Another example is the resolution report that we routinely get from Crossref, showing us which DOIs are broken. It highlights errors for us and helps us to investigate, identify, and prevent problems with the journal partners.

What do you see as the value of Crossref, beyond protocols.io?

As I argued in my talk at the annual Crossref conference, we are finally in a position to connect scientists with the knowledge they need, automatically. Almost every scientist uses a reference manager such as Mendeley, Zotero, Paperpile, etc. to manage their literature bibliography. In turn, that means that in theory, when something happens to a paper or research objects connected to the paper (retraction, correction, update to the dataset accompanying the manuscript), the reference management platforms could notify every scientist who has that paper in their library.

The problem is that it isn’t feasible for every service like Mendeley to connect to every repository and publisher to track events connected to every paper. This is where Crossref is positioned so powerfully. By collecting the metadata linking papers to the research objects, Crossref can be the single source that the platforms need to query to see if there is news for their users related to any specific published paper. (More of this from my talk was captured really nicely in this blog post by the SMU librarian Aaron Tay.

What are the future plans for protocols.io?

Expanding protocols.io content to include chemistry workflows is an important goal for 2018-19.

We are also eager to start on connecting the protocols directly to the devices that the scientists use. Imagine you need to spin your cells for 30 seconds, but the centrifuge is accidentally set for 3 minutes. Our app should be able to connect to the equipment and alert the researcher to the wrong setting, asking if they are sure they want to proceed.

No longer lost in translation

Christine Cormack Wood — Tue, 30 Jan 2018 00:00:00 +0000

More than 80% of the record breaking 1,939 new members we welcomed in 2017 were from non-English speaking countries, and as our member base grows in its diversity, so does the need for us to share information about Crossref and its services in languages appropriate to our changing audience.

So, early last year we started translating our service videos into six other languages: French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. However, the process of translating from one language to another is not always straightforward—but it is super important—as some things can get seriously lost in translation…

||||

In order to avoid such translation tragedies we created a foolproof process to get the text of the service videos translated and ready for production. (I am, I realize, exposing myself here—see what I did there? —by using a word like foolproof.)

First we produced the videos in English, setting the content to animation and sound (AKA audio visual or A/V to us marketing types), then we brought in a translation company to turn the English content into the six other languages. So far so good. However, as the above examples demonstrate, the meaning of words can get lost in translation. Also, what Crossref does isn’t the easiest thing in the world to translate (are there words for metadata delivery and full-text XML in Japanese?), so we added another stage to the process.

Next, we sent the translated scripts and their English counterparts to some very helpful international members who, as part of the scholarly research community, understand the complexities of our work and are therefore qualified to check that the text had remained in context.

Unfortunately, it hadn’t, as the text came back from them heavily edited. After round two of the editing process, the revised text was applied to the videos—but just to be 100% sure, we sent the completed videos back to our helpful international members for a final run through.

Multiply this painstaking process by 48 videos, throw numerous time zones into the mix and you can see why it took us nearly 12 months to complete them.

And so, it is with great pleasure that today we launch all eight of our service videos in six languages, just click the links below, and enjoy! Découvrez-les! ¡Que los disfrutes! Aproveite! 请欣赏! どうぞお楽しみください！ 즐거운 시간 되세요!

			View videos by language
English	French	Spanish	Brazilian Portuguese	Simplified Chinese	Japanese	Korean
English	français	español	português do Brasil	简体中文	日本語	한국어로

We’d like to thank the following for their help in checking the video translations: Fabienne Meyers from IUCAP for the French versions, our very own resident translator Vanessa Fairhurst for the Spanish versions, Edilson Damasio from the University Library of Maringá for the Brazilian Portuguese versions, Guo Xiaofeng from Wanfang Data for the Chinese versions, Nobuko Miyairi from ORCID for the Japanese versions and Junghyo from Nurimedia and Jae Hwa Chang at infoLumi for the Korean versions.

Shortcodes Reference

Bruce Murray — Thu, 25 Jan 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Shortcodes

Shortcodes are a Hugo method for controlling and layout of content without resorting to hand-coding HTML and CSS. So for example, a shortcode will let you define an area of the page to be laid out in two columns rather than the standard one. See below for more info. Like HTML, shortcodes must come before and after the area you wish to layout.

Shortcodes can be entered directly into the markdown like this:

{{% shortcode %}} some content {{% /shortcode %}}

The curly brackets and %s tell Hugo that you are using a shortcode.

Two column layouts

To create a two column layout, use two pairs of shortcodes to designate the start and finish of both columns (the site only supports two columns as of the writing of this document). You also need to add a ‘row’ code surrounding the whole block (not each column) which ensures the columns don’t run into other text on the page.

For example:

{{% row %}} {{% column %}} This content will end up in Column 1, the left column of two. You can format this like any other part of the page. {{% /column %}}

{{% column %}} This content will end up in Column 2, the right column of two. You can format this like any other part of the page. {{% /column %}} {{% /row %}}

Services blocks

These are blocks of text that are given a particular style, and you can control the colour of the heading. Heading colours can be any of the main Crossref brand colors: red, blue, yellow, darkgrey or lightgrey (in the format service-*colour*.)

{{% divwrap service-red %}} - indicates the start of a service block - this one happens to be red {{% /divwrap %}} - marks the end of the service block

Options for colors are service- followed by red, blue, yellow, grey.

Highlight boxes

These are blocks of text with a colored background used to call out key information. Background colours can be any of the main Crossref brand colors: red, blue, yellow, darkgrey or lightgrey (in the format *colour*-highlight.)

{{% divwrap blue-highlight %}} A bit of text {{% /divwrap %}}

Produces:

Use blue-highlight for a blue box. link

and similarly:

Use red-highlight for a red box. link

Use yellow-highlight for a yellow box. link

Use lightgrey-highlight for a light grey box. link

Use darkgrey-highlight for a dark grey box. link

Float left/right

These blocks allow you to float a small image to the left or right of the content area. By ‘float’ we mean that the object sits to the left or right of content, and other content wraps around it. This floated element will have a width of 50% of the content area.

{{% divwrap align-left %}} - start the block {{% /divwrap %}} - end the block

{{% divwrap align-right %}} - start the block {{% /divwrap %}} - end the block

The divwrap shortcode does add some padding/margin which may not be needed so you can alternatively use the following which will just float the image left or right. {{% imagewrap left %}} - start the block {{% /imagewrap %}} - end the block

{{% imagewrap right %}} - start the block {{% /imagewrap %}} - end the block

Quotes with and without citations

Entering a quote without a citation is easy, and supported by Markdown out-of-the-box:

> Block quotes are written like so.
>
> They can span multiple paragraphs, if you like.

Gives you: > Block quotes are written like so. > > They can span multiple paragraphs, if you like.

If you want to add a citation, a special shortcode has been setup:

{{% quotecite “Geoffrey Bilder” %}} Go placidly amid the noise and waste, And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof. {{% /quotecite %}}

Produces:

Go placidly amid the noise and waste, And remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.
– Geoffrey Bilder

Simple Accordion

An accordion is made up of a wrapper like so:

{{% accordion %}} … {{% /accordion %}}

And one or more sections:

{{% accordion-section “Section Title” %}} Secion content… {{% /accordion-section %}}

The following example can be seen in action below.

Melted cheese the big cheese boursin. Lancashire queso melted cheese caerphilly brie swiss paneer paneer. Melted cheese cheddar cheesy feet cauliflower cheese gouda babybel ricotta cheese and biscuits. Cottage cheese feta st. agur blue cheese cheese and biscuits goat cauliflower cheese cottage cheese mascarpone. Cheesy feet.

A year in the life of Crossref

Ed Pentz — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 00:00:00 +0000

We are delighted to report that last year Crossref welcomed a record-breaking 1,939 new members and, because our member base is growing so rapidly in both headcount and geography—with the highest number of new members joining from Asia—we thought it was a good time to reiterate what Crossref is all about, as well as show off a little about the things we are proud to have achieved in 2017.

What is Crossref?

We are an organization that runs a registry of metadata and DOIs of course, but we are much more than that—staff, board, working groups, and committees as well as a broad range of collaborators, users, and supporters in the wider scholarly communications community. Increasingly, our community includes new contributors like scholars, funders, and universities. Together, we are all working toward the same goal—to enhance scholarly communications. Everything we do is designed to put scholarly content in context so that the content our members publish can be found, cited, used, and re-used.

Here’s how we did that over the past year:

We rallied the community

Rallying the community is all about working together to forge new relationships and pave the way for future generations of researchers—in 2017 we were closely involved with the launch of Metadata 2020; a collaboration that advocates richer, connected, and reusable metadata for all research outputs.

We tagged and shared metadata

To make sure that our APIs continue to have real, genuine utility, we introduced a new service called Metadata Plus in 2017 so that platforms and tools can leverage the power of our rich, immense database to increase the value and discoverability of content.

We played with new technology

To keep pace with changes in the industry and stay true to our mission, we often play with new technology with the goal of offering a bigger and better infrastructure. In 2017 we formed a working group and an advisory group for two new identifiers that will see this infrastructure increase; Organization IDs and Grant IDs.

We made new tools and services

Combining our own knowledge and experience with input from the wider community, in 2017 we were able to launch in Beta a new and exciting tool called Event Data. Event Data provides a record of where research has been bookmarked, linked, recommended, shared, referenced, commented on etc, beyond publisher platforms—which is a great example of putting scholarly research in a wider context.

So, while richer metadata (including more content types) remains our focus 2018 and beyond, we also hope that as we become a bigger and more global community we can move beyond the basics and work together to make sure that DOIs, are not the be-all and end-all when they are, in fact, just the beginning.

Bridging Identifiers at PIDapalooza

Joe Wass — Mon, 22 Jan 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Hello from sunny Girona! I’m heading to PIDapalooza, the Persistent Identifier festival, as it returns for its second year. It’s all about to kick off.

One of the themes this year is “bridging worlds”: how to bring together different communities and the identifiers they use. Something I really enjoyed about PIDapalooza last year was the variety of people who came. We heard about some “traditional” identifier systems (at least, it seems that way to us): DOIs for publications, DOIs for datasets, ORCIDs for researchers. But, gathered in Reykjavik, under dark Icelandic skies, I met oceanographic surveyors assigning DOIs to drilling equipment, heard stories of identifiers in Chinese milk production and consoled librarians trying navigate the identifier landscape.

In addition to the usual scholarly publishing and science communication crowd, it was encouraging to see a real diversity of people from different walks of life encounter the same problems and work on them them collaboratively. The thing that brought everyone together was the understanding that if we’re going to reliably reference things – be they researchers, articles they write, or ships they sail – we need to give them identifiers. And those identifiers should be as good as possible: persistent, resolvable, interoperable.

Who cares about PIDs?

At the turn of the century, a handful of publishers came together to create Crossref (or CrossRef as it was in those days). It was becoming increasingly important to be able to store references in machine-readable format, but publishers were faced with a problem. If an author wants to cite an article, they’ll do so without worrying who published it. This means they needed an identifier system that worked across all publishers. Thus the Crossref DOI was born.

Today we’re heading toward 10,000 members, and the thing that they have in common is that they all produce scholarly content and care about how it’s referenced. As a trade association, we effectively act on behalf of all of our members, allowing them to register their content, share metadata and links, and assign an identifier.

But there’s a whole world out there. Publications have never been the be-all and end-all of scholarship, but they have been a backbone. But more and more scholarship, especially science, is done outside journal publishing. Sometimes it’s done on platforms that care about the scholarly record as much as publishers. And sometimes it isn’t.

The Twitterverse

Lots of people use Twitter to talk about science. Some are scientists, some aren’t. Scientific articles are linked from news reports and discussed on blogs. Gone are the days of scholarly articles being cited only by other scholarly articles. We see links coming in from all over the place. And, although not all of this can be counted as the “scholarly record”, some of it could be.

The barrier-to-entry for journals publishing means that science journals contain only science articles. The barrier-to-entry for Twitter means that anyone can, and does, publish there. My Twitter feed is finely balanced between bibliometrics research, marine biology and pictures of snow leopards with Japanese captions. I don’t understand all of it, but I like looking at the pictures.

Back in the days when the only references to scholarly publications were from other scholarly publications, it was easy to keep track of those references. When an article was published, its references went into a citation database. This happened because the publisher considered this important.

But Twitter, the publisher of tweets, doesn’t care. It is used for a huge variety of communications and although some people choose to use it to engage in scholarship, we’re just a blip on their radar. The same goes for Reddit, a platform that describes itself as “the front page of the Internet”. There are communities engaged in scientific discussions, but Reddit doesn’t feel the need to publish its bibliographic references.

Nor should it.

Bridging those who care with those who don’t

The barrier-to-entry for contributing to scientific discussions has lowered, meaning that the role of more non-specialist platforms has increased.

I imagine that there are other communities out there who have their own concerns about the web. Maybe there are model train enthusiasts who want to keep track of every reference to a particular model. Or political commentators who want to keep track of how certain politicians and policies are discussed. As the scholarly community embraces new platforms for communicating, we should recognise that we are part of a broader universe of people using those platforms for more diverse reasons.

Gone are the days when the only way to reply to an article was by writing a letter to the editor. But also gone are the days when you could guarantee that your letter wouldn’t appear next to cat pictures (assuming you weren’t writing to the Journal of Feline Medicine & Surgery). As a specialist community cohabiting online spaces with non-specialists, it falls to us to do whatever we need to adapt that space and make it our own. In our case, this means recording bibliographic references as and where they occur.

Something like this happened once before. As traditional publishers went online, they created Crossref to build and maintain the necessary infrastructure. We’re acting on behalf of the community again to collect links from non-traditional sources. Because we can’t go to platforms like Twitter and say “please deposit your references”, we’re doing the opposite. We identify a platform, then work out how to scrape its content and extract links.

Working at scale

So we’re broadening out the universe of references that we would like to track from “traditional scholarly publishing” to “the entire web”. There are four broad challenges inherent in this, and we think that Crossref infrastructure is the right way to meet them.

The first challenge is physically finding the links. Because social media platforms aren’t specialised for scholarly publishing, they don’t have the same mechanisms in place for capturing bibliographic references. This means that we have to do it ourselves by scraping webpages for references. As the standard-bearer for scholarly PIDs, we think we can do a good job of this.

The second challenge is doing this at the scale of the web. Because we might, in theory, find a link on any webpage, there is a literally infinite number of publishing platforms. From big websites like BBC News down to tiny blogs run out of a bedroom. It would be impossible to partner with each of these individually. The way to solve this is to run a centralised service which goes out and contacts as many sources as possible. This role is a collaborative one. Our system is open to inspection, suggestions and contributions from the community.

The third challenge is the sheer number of publishers. Because they all register content with us, we are in good position to track their DOIs. In addition to that, every member of Crossref publishes content on their own platform, and has their own set of websites to track. We monitor our members’ websites and create a central list of domains that we look for. If this wasn’t done centrally, each publisher would have to run its own web crawlers and perform the same work, only to filter out their own links.

The fourth challenge is how to get all that data to the public. Even if every publisher were able to run their own infrastructure, it would make it very difficult to consume. Through Crossref metadata services, publishers have built a system where you can look up metadata and link to articles without worrying who published them. We think that the same approach should apply to this new link data.

For these reasons, we’re building Crossref Event Data: a system that monitors as many platforms as we can think of, and brings them into one place, and serves the whole community.

Building bridges

If you’ve been following along you’ll know that my last metaphor was the process of refining crude oil. I like metaphors, and mixing them. After all, you can’t mix a good metaphor without breaking a few eggs into the mixing bowl. Today’s metaphors are bridges. And not just one.

Bridge 1: PIDs and URLs

In the world of Persistent Identifiers, we’re quite good at linking. Organizations like Crossref, DataCite and ORCID run separate systems but we work together to record and exchange links. But the web is different. There’s no single organization in control and there are many organizations working to catalogue it. Event Data is our offering: bridging the web with our identifiers.

Bridge 2: Scholarly link providers

Of course, some platforms and systems do care about persistence and Persistent Identifiers. Event Data is an open platform, and we’re collaborating with a few providers to publish links.

We’ve partnered with The Lens to include Patent to DOI references. We’re working with F1000 to include links between reviews and articles. Hopefully we’ll see more organizations use Event Data to publish their links.

Bridge 3: Crossref / DataCite

Event Data is a collaborative project between DataCite and Crossref. When Crossref Registered Content contains a reference to a DataCite DOI we put it into Event Data. DataCite do the same in reverse. This means that Event Data contains a huge number of article - dataset links.

Bridge 4: Traditional discussions vs new ones

At each moment, scholarly discussions are happening in the literature, on various social media platforms and on the web at large. They are all talking about the same thing, but are spread out. Event Data collects links wherever we find them and brings them into one place. By doing this we hope we can help bring those conversations together.

Bridge 5: Bridging bibliometricians and altmetricians to data sources

Capturing links from social media to published literature underpins the field of altmetrics. By collecting this data and making it available under open licenses, we bring it to altmetrics researchers. We don’t provide metrics, but we do provide the data points that can form the basis for research.

Without infrastructure for collecting data, researchers would have to perform the same work over and over again. Because the data is all open, we allow datasets to be republished, reworked and replicated.

Bridge 6: Bridging the Evidence Gap

Running Event Data involves collecting a lot of data - gigabytes per day - and boiling it down into hundreds of thousands of individual Events per day. People consuming the data may want to do further boiling down. At every point of the process we record the input data that we were working from, the internal thought process of the system, and the Events that were produced. A researcher can use the Evidence Logs to trace through the entire process that led to an Event.

We’re a bridge from websites and social media to data consumers. But we take the role very seriously, and there’s nothing hidden. A glass bridge, you could say.

Interesting challenges

It’s not all plain sailing. There are a few challenges along the way to collecting this data which anyone who wanted to collect this kind of information would face. By collecting it in a central place and running an open platform we can solve each problem once, and improve our process as a community.

One problem is choosing what to include. We include any link that we find from a non-publisher website. That means that invariably some of the links are from spam. This problem isn’t new: we see low-quality articles being published in traditional journals from time to time. We try to include all of the data we can find and pass it onto consumers. They might want to whitelist certain sources, or they may want all of the data because they’re trying to study scholarly spam. We have decided to provide data as Events, which strike the balance between atomicity and usefulness.

Another, which I talked about at last year’s PIDapalooza, is how we track article landing pages. Read the blog post, the user guide or hop in a time machine if you’re interested.

The thing about bridges…

… is that they help people get where they’re going. With a few notable exceptions, they’re not the main attraction. We play a humble part in scholarly publishing, helping collect and distribute metadata. Most of what we do goes unseen, and helps people create tools, platforms and research. Event Data is an API, and whilst we hope people will build all kinds of things with it, including altmetrics tools, we’re not making another metric.

PIDapalooza

All of which brings me to my talk, which I’m giving on Wednesday: Bridging persistent and not-so-persistent identifiers. I would tell you about it, but there isn’t much more left to say.

If you want to find out more, we’re currently in Beta, and open for business. Head over to the User Guide to get started!

Crossref Ambassador Program

Vanessa Fairhurst — Thu, 04 Jan 2018 00:00:00 +0000

We have listened to the feedback from you, our members, and you’ve told us of a need for local experts to provide support in your timezone and language, and to act as liaisons with the Crossref team. You’ve also asked for an increased number of training events both online and in person close to you, and for more representatives from Crossref at regional industry events.

We want to make sure we can reach members around the globe, and as such, a wide team of people is required who are knowledgeable in the languages, cultures, and member needs in a variety of countries. This is why we’re launching our Ambassador Program.

What are Crossref Ambassadors?

Crossref Ambassadors are volunteers who work within the international scholarly research community in a variety of different roles such as librarians, researchers or editors to name but a few. They are individuals who are well connected, value the work that Crossref does and are passionate about improving scholarly communication and the role Crossref plays within this system.

Some of the activities our ambassadors will undertake:

Staying up-to-speed with Crossref developments, for example, by attending webinars and maintaining regular check-ins with the Crossref team.
Engaging in the online community platform; providing feedback, joining in discussions and helping other members to resolve issues posted to the group.
Writing blog posts, or contributing to newsletters.
Participating in beta-testing of new products and services.
Helping with local LIVE events; for example, providing recommendations on speakers or venues, helping with logistics and presenting at the event.
Helping with the translation of Crossref material and content into local languages.
Running webinars on different Crossref services in local languages.
Running training sessions locally with Crossref members
Representing Crossref at relevant industry events

It is important that our ambassadors enjoy the work they are doing with Crossref by contributing in ways in which they feel comfortable, according to their interests, skills and the time they feel they want to contribute. For this reason, the role comes with a high degree of flexibility.

We see our ambassadors as valued members of the Crossref network and will provide them with:

A dedicated contact for any upcoming news, or to share ideas, queries or concerns.
Help with content for proposal calls, presentations, training and written articles.
Crossref materials and giveaways (plus ambassador-branded materials).
Personal endorsement via Crossref
Training on Crossref services and on wider relevant skills as necessary.
First look at new Crossref developments
Certification from Crossref on ambassador and training status.
Personal ambassador logo or badge for use on email, website and profile on the Crossref online community forum (launching later this year).

Crossref Ambassadors will become an increasingly key part of the Crossref community - the first port of call for updates or to test out new products or services, and the eyes and ears within the local academic community - working closely with Crossref to make scholarly communications better for all.

Meet our first ambassadors!

Jae Hwa Chang has been working at infoLumi as a manuscript editor in academic journals since 2010.

Help with Co-access

Madeleine Watson — Wed, 20 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

What is Co-access?

Co-access allows multiple Crossref members to register content and create DOIs for the same book content; both whole titles or individual chapters. This means that there can be multiple DOIs registered for the same book content. Prefixes must be pre-registered for Co-access in order to participate. Co-access does not require a primary depositor. For Co-access registered members, we’ll match DOI deposits with near identical metadata (for example, matching ISBNs and titles) and enter them into a Co-access relationship where matches are found between participating members. This means that Co-access enables better linking between different Crossref DOIs and gives book publishers and aggregators of book content greater flexibility to host content within a timeframe and in a location which suits them best.

What problem does Co-access solve?

Many organizations can be involved in the hosting and distribution of books. Up until now, Crossref’s Multiple Resolution (MR) functionality has worked well with journals, where content may exist on the publisher’s site and also on a third-party hosting platform. In this case the content on the publisher site gets registered first and then the URLs for the content on the third-party sites can be added after this. Both the publisher and the third-party sites can use the same DOI. Unlike with journal content, book publishers often outsource their content hosting to multiple aggregators/platforms with none of them considered the primary site. Additionally in some cases, the book publisher does not deposit any metadata and DOIs with Crossref at all. Multiple Resolution requires coordination between the primary publisher and the secondary content hosts which is too burdensome to be feasible between book aggregators - especially as there is often no primary depositor (i.e the book publisher). Instead, publishers leave depositing to secondary content hosts. This means that MR functionality is unsuitable for this use case, as book aggregators have expressed the need for a process that allows independent transactions on the part of any secondary content hosts.

Who is Co-access for and how does it work?

Co-access is for any Crossref publisher or sponsoring publisher member who faces the challenge of assigning DOI identifiers to book content that is distributed across a number of different platforms. Crossref members who aggregate book content on behalf of other publishers can contact Crossref to request that their prefix be added to the Co-access group for each of the book publisher members they work with.

For DOI deposits from approved prefixes, Crossref’s system will automatically look to establish a Co-access match with any other DOI where near-identical bibliographic metadata is found. When matches are found, an interim page hosted by Crossref will be displayed to end users when any matched DOI URL is followed. Users can then interact with the Co-Access interim page to choose their preferred DOI to follow in order to access the content.

How much does Co-access cost?

Each depositor is billed for their own DOI deposit. There are no additional fees to participate in Co-access.

How do I participate in Co-access?

You must first be registered for Co-access in order to participate. Crossref members who host/aggregate book content on behalf of other Crossref book publisher members, can register their prefix, and those of the book publishers they work with, for Co-access by completing the Co-access Registration Form.

Aggregator’s own Crossref membership information (i.e depositor prefix/s)
The name, prefix/s and contact details of each Crossref book publisher member you work with
Aggregator’s company logo file
The logo file for each publisher

What is the difference between Multiple Resolution and Co-access?

Multiple Resolution is when a single DOI has multiple resolution URLs; for example, if the same content is available in different locations. When the DOI is resolved it goes to an interim landing page that shows the different resolution URLs. Co-access is for book content and is when multiple DOIs are assigned to the same book title or chapter; each DOI is deposited by a different member and each has only one resolution URL. The DOIs are grouped together and when any of the DOIs is resolved they go to the an interim landing page showing all the DOIs and the resolution URLs.

Can Co-access be used for journal content DOIs too?

No, Co-access is only for book content. Journal publishers do not encounter the same distributed content issues that book publishers and their aggregators face. In the rare cases where journal content is distributed, members can use our existing Multiple Resolution functionality in order to add multiple hosting locations within a single Crossref deposit.

Doesn’t Co-access violate the “uniqueness” rule?

Yes it does. While it is Crossref policy that only one DOI be created for a given work because Crossref DOIs are citation identifiers, we are enabling multiple DOIs to be assigned for the same book content in order to solve a very specific use case identified by our book publisher members and their aggregators. Crossref offers Co-access exclusively to book publishers to address the specific structural needs inherent to their production and distribution environment. See the response above in “What problem does Co-access solve?” and below in “What about citation splitting?”.

What about citation splitting? The Crossref DOI is a citation identifier. This means that we identify content to enable accurate citation for scholarly content. This is different from other identifiers, like the ISBN, which are used to identify all the different formats - hardback, paperback, ePub. Therefore, a basic Crossref principle is that content, even if it’s available in different formats, should only have one Crossref DOI. For content that is part of Co-access, there will be multiple DOIs for the same content and this could mean that where systems and services use the DOI to track citations that all the citations will not be captured since they are spread across multiple DOIs. In addition, a service like Crossref Event Data (which collects post publication events), having multiple DOIs for the same content makes it harder to track activity. Crossref DOIs are increasingly being used to track activity. So Co-access involves a tradeoff between increased flexibility against accurate citation and event counting.

How does Co-access affect resolution reports? The DOI that was clicked on initially, before the landing page is enabled, is the DOI resolution that is captured in our reports. If a user selects an alternative DOI from the options presented on the Co-access landing page, we do not report this as a resolution.

How are Co-access relationships represented in Crossref metadata?

To inspect the output metadata to see what DOIs are related through Co-access, see our technical documentation for details.

How are Co-Access groups defined? Co-Access is enabled between prefixes. Prefixes registered for Co-access will be grouped to allow each member of the group access to a given book content item. This allows each member to deposit (and update) their own DOI for that title and for the content items (chapters) within that title. Once a Co-access group is defined any member could deposit a DOI for any title owned by any member of the Co-Access group.

What if a deposit is made by a party not included in a Co-access agreement?

If the depositor’s prefix is not in a registered Co-access group, then the conflicting deposit will be rejected. Multiple DOI deposits for the same book title is only possible if prefixes have been pre-registered for Co-access.

I’m a book publisher, how do I know which aggregators have registered me for Co-access?

Members can email support@crossref.org to obtain a list of all prefixes they are in Co-access with.

Can I opt-out a single title in a Co-access group?

Ideally, single title opt-out should occur before any Co-access deposits are made for that item. To do this, the title owner should contact us at support@crossref.org to request we set a Co-access exclusion flag on their title. If a title owner want to undo Co-access deposits that have already been made and matched, then they should our support team to ask that the title be excluded from Co-access and that any unwanted DOIs be aliased.

Is Co-access a long term solution?

No, Co-access is an interim solution to solve the current issue faced by our book publisher members and their content aggregators. In the long run, we will be exploring more effective solutions to improve how Crossref accommodates the unique challenges of the book publishing environment.

Metadata and integrity: the unlikely bedfellows of scholarly research

Damian Pattinson — Thu, 14 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

I was invited recently to present parliamentary evidence to the House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee on the subject of Research Integrity. For those not familiar with the arcane workings of the British Parliamentary system, a Select Committee is essentially the place where governments, and government bodies, are held to account. So it was refreshing to be invited to a hearing that wasn’t about Brexit.

The interest of the British Parliament in the integrity of scientific research confirms just how far science’s ongoing “reproducibility crisis” has reached. The fact that a large proportion of the published literature cannot be reproduced is clearly problematic, and this call to action from MPs is very welcome. And why would the government not be interested? At stake is the process of how new knowledge is created, and how reliable that purported knowledge is.

The other issue driving this overview of research practices are the cases of deliberate fraud and wrongdoing that have recently created headlines (e.g., the STAP papers concerning the reprogramming of stem cells). While these cases are clearly dramatic outliers, they nevertheless serve to diminish public confidence in scholarly research and the findings that come out of this enterprise.

As with most inquiries, the question quickly boiled down to: who is to blame? As Bill Grant MP asked me directly, “Where does the responsibility lie?”

My answer was lifted from an article by Ginny Barbour and colleagues in F1000Research this November (https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.13060.1): publishers are responsible for the integrity of the published literature, while institutions and employers are ultimately responsible for the conduct of their staff. Misconduct entails intent, usually to deceive the reader into believing a conclusion that the researcher wishes them to believe. But journal editors can never know, and are not in a position to investigate, whether a researcher has deliberately falsified their data.

However, there are things that publishers can do to ensure high standards of integrity. Much of this involves making a study’s authors publish as much information about what they have done as possible - the more the reader can see of how data were generated, the more that reader can trust the findings communicated in the published article.

Article metadata directly supports this function. It provides structure and transparency to information pertaining to ethics and integrity. And because metadata is independent of the main article, it can be readable even if the article itself is locked behind a paywall.

Crossref already provides metadata that can demonstrate the integrity of published articles. The metadata collected on 91+ million scholarly works across publishers and disciplines is open and freely accessible to all. Bibliographic information, for example, allows readers to see who the authors of the article are, where they are from, and what else they have published. Similarly, funding data allows readers to identify potential conflicts of interest, for example if the funder has commercial or political affiliations. Even if the reader cannot see the conflict of interest statement (or if the journal has not provided one), they can use the funding statement to surface potential conflicts.

And if they wanted, publishers could provide additional metadata to add still more transparency to the research process. Ethical approval by institutional review boards, for example, could be captured, and any protocol numbers traced back to the original ethics committee approval. At present the process of ethical approval varies from country to country, and from institution to institution. Encouraging authors and journals to deposit information on the approval process would both demonstrate the high ethical standards the author is working to, and also improve the standards themselves, since institutions would have to encode their approval processes in a way that is understandable to others. This could pave the way to significantly higher international ethical standards, all through a simple addition to the indexed metadata underlying the scholarly literature.

One key recommendation that I and many others made to the Committee was, in short, “show your work”. As a researcher, that means showing your data. As a publisher, that means showing what checks you have done. In both cases, metadata can help.

A major issue that publishers and researchers can – and should – address is the provision of actual scientific data. Most papers, today, present only the end results of the authors’ (often quite extensive) analyses. The case for sharing data is an obvious one - many recent cases of misconduct could have been identified earlier, or even avoided altogether, if editors and readers had had access to underlying datasets.

With images, a requirement to submit raw images alongside the edited figures would dramatically reduce the cases of manipulation that are rife in the literature (studies suggest up to 20% of papers have some kind of inappropriate figure manipulation, with around 1 in 40 papers showing manipulation beyond that which can be expected to be a result of error). Similarly, providing the numbers that a paper’s analyses are based upon would allow readers to fully assess if datasets are distributed as would be expected through random sampling, and, if they choose, to determine if the data are sufficient to support the statistical inferences made in the paper. The Crossref schema – by providing unique identifiers to data citations - makes this link between data and paper possible. (See the recent blog post on the Research Nexus for more information.)

For publishers, showing your work also means being transparent to your readers about the editorial checks that a manuscript has undergone. Crossref has a tool that enables this editorial transparency: it’s called Crossmark. Crossmark allows readers to see the most up-to-date information about an article, even on downloaded PDFs. In most cases it is used to show whether the version of an article is most recent one, or whether any corrigenda or retractions have been subsequently added. But it can also be used to provide whatever information a publisher wishes to share about the paper. Some journals have experimented with using Crossmark to ‘thread’ publications together, for example, by linking all the outputs generated from a single clinical trial registration number (blog post here). But publishers could go further and display metadata pertaining to the editorial checks they have performed on a paper. So Crossmark could tell readers that the paper has been checked for plagiarism, or figure manipulation, or reporting standards such as CONSORT or ARRIVE guidelines. Here at Research Square we have been addressing this with a series of Editorial Badges that publishers can apply to their papers to demonstrate what checks have been performed.

Together, these implementations would provide value to the reader, who can see exactly what has been checked, and to the publisher, who can show how rigorous their editorial processes are. It would also serve to highlight the integrity of the authors who have passed all of these checks.

Research integrity is not something that can be easily measured but, unlike wit or charm, it is something that people generally know that they have.* This means that they just need to be transparent in their output to demonstrate this to the world. Metadata provides a simple way of doing this, so researchers and publishers should make sure they provide it as openly as they can.

Dr. Livingstone, I presume…a two month expedition deep into the heart of research publishing

Amanda Bartell — Wed, 13 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Hello there. I’m Amanda Bartell, and I joined the Crossref team in mid-October as the new Head of Member Experience. My new Member Experience team will be responsible for onboarding new members, supporting existing members and making sure that everyone can make the most of Crossref services. I’ve spent the last couple of months exploring the world of academic publishing and what our members need - and it’s been fascinating!

Expedition members

The new Member Experience team is made up of some who are new to Crossref and Scholarly Publishing and some whose names you’ll probably recognize!

Anna Tolwinska (Member Experience Manager) will support existing members in understanding the quality of metadata they deposit with us, and how they can best make use of our other products and services.
Paul Davis (Product Support Specialist) and Shayn Smulyan (Product Support Associate) will continue to provide excellent technical support to all creators and consumers of our metadata.
Gurjit Bhullar (Membership Coordinator) will help new applicants who want to join Crossref understand the member obligations and have a smooth induction journey.

We’ll be expanding the team in 2018 to support you further - watch this space!

What a diverse ecosystem

My background is educational publishing, so this has been my first foray into the world of scholarly publishing. In my first few months I’ve been lucky enough to attend three very different events with Crossref - Frankfurt Book Fair, our annual meeting (LIVE17) in Singapore, and an OpenCon event in Oxford. Each one has given me the chance to talk to our members and other constituents, and I’ve been really struck by what a diverse bunch you are: from small volunteer-led society journals through universities to commercial behemoths; from Albania to Zambia (and 125 countries in between); covering everything from Ancient History to X-Ray Spectrometry.

Expedition equipment to suit the climate

This diversity gives my team a huge responsibility. We need to make sure that the support we provide to you can meet the needs of everyone - whether you’re a multinational publisher with a large team of xml specialists, or a small team of enthusiastic academics. Everyone should be able to clearly understand and take advantage of what Crossref offers both to you as an organization and to the wider scholarly community.

With this in mind, we’re going to be making a few changes to the support materials we provide over the next 12 months—rewriting them so they’re clearer for everyone, re-structuring our support center so there’s a separate route through depending on your level of technical expertise and closer links with our main website, plus providing support in different languages and different formats.

Sticking together in a harsh environment

As someone who has previously worked in commercial publishing, something else that has struck me about working in a member organization is the difference between members and traditional “customers”. It’s been fantastic to see how involved many of you are in Crossref. From taking part in our various committees and working groups, to helping to organize LIVE Local events, to attending webinars and training, it’s obvious that you feel a real sense of ownership over Crossref and our shared mission.

We’re hoping to make use of that great sense of community in 2018 by improving our member center, giving you more access to see the level of metadata you’re sharing with the community (and that others are sharing) and providing more options for you to communicate with, and support each other. We’re also going to be improving the education we offer for new members, to make sure that everyone is aware of the joint mission we all have to improve research communications. Most long time members know it’s so much more than just having a DOI, and we need to make sure that our new members are aware of this too and share our vision.

Leaving no-one behind

We have a lot of plans for the Member Experience team in 2018, but it’s key that everything we do meets the needs of all our members. If you have any suggestions for how we can improve your member experience, do let me know.

Global Persistent Identifiers for grants, awards, and facilities

Geoffrey Bilder — Wed, 13 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Crossref’s Open Funder Registry (neé FundRef) now includes over 15 thousand entries. Crossref has over 2 million metadata records that include funding information - 1.7 million of which include an Open Funder Identifier. The uptake of funder identifiers is already making it easier and more efficient for the scholarly community to directly link funding to research outputs, but lately we’ve been hearing from a number of people that the time is ripe for a global grant identifier as well.

To that end, Crossref convened its funder advisory group along with representatives from our collaborator organizations, ORCID and DataCite, to explore the creation of a global grant identifier system.

We thought you might like to know about what we’ve been discussing…

The First Rule of Grant Identifiers

The first rule of grant identifiers is that they probably should not be called “grant identifiers”. Research is supported in a variety of ways—through grants, endowments, secondments, loans, use of facilities/equipment and even crowd-funding. In any of these cases, it is important to be able to link researchers and research outputs to details about the sources of support. This is true for prosaic reasons—to understand ROI, to map the competitive landscape, to ensure that mandates are fulfilled, to avoid double payment. But it is also true for epistemic reasons; understanding how research was funded can help contextualise that research, and help expose potential conflicts of interest or specific agendas.

The Open Funder Registry which provides a coarse mapping between research outputs and funders, but it is becoming clear that we need more fine-grained mapping directly to information about the kind of support that was provided.

Awkwardly, none of us had any great ideas about alternative nomenclature, so we’ve made the eminently practical decision to continue to use the term “grant identifier” whilst being aware that our aim is to define a system that applies more broadly to any form of funding or support of research. So +1 for practicality.

Why do we need an open, global, grant identifier?

With the steady increase in research outputs, and the growing number of active researchers from both academia and industry, research stakeholders find they need to be able to automate workflows in order to scale their systems efficiently. Funders want to be able to track the outputs that arise from research they have funded. As a result, institutions find themselves having to regularly analyse and summarise the research their faculty produces. Faculty, in turn, face increasing accounting bureaucracy in order to meet all the reporting requirements that are cascading through the system. And finally, publishers are seeking to make the manuscript submission and evaluation process more efficient as well as to increase the discoverability and contextual richness of their publications.

Most funders already have local, internal grant identifiers. But there are over 15K funders currently listed in the aforementioned Open Funder Registry. The problem is that each funder has its own identifier scheme and (sometimes) API. It is very difficult for third parties to integrate with so many different systems. Open, global, persistent and machine-actionable identifiers are key to scaling these activities.

We already have a sophisticated open, global, interoperable infrastructure of persistent identifier systems for some key elements of scholarly communications. We have persistent identifiers for researchers and contributors (ORCID iDs), for data and software (DataCite DOIs), for journal articles, preprints, conference proceedings, peer reviews, monographs and standards (Crossref DOIs), and for Funders (Open Funder Registry IDs).

And there are similar systems under active development for research organizations, conferences, projects and resources reported in the biomedical literature (e.g. antibodies, model organisms). At a minimum, open, persistent identifiers address the inherent difficulty in disambiguating entities based on textual strings (structured or otherwise). This precision, in turn, allows automated cross-walking of linked identifiers through APIs and metadata which enable advanced applications.

For example, the use of identifiers can simplify user interfaces and save users time. Almost everybody in scholarly communications spends a frustrating portion of their lives copying information from one system to another. This process is not just tedious, it is also error-prone. But we are increasingly seeing systems make use of identifiers to eliminate the need for a lot of this manual copying. For example, researchers using an ORCID iD when they submit a manuscript can start to expect that their relevant ORCID biographical data will simply be imported into the manuscript tracking system so that it doesn’t have to be manually copied over. And if said researcher has their manuscript accepted, they can also expect that their ORCID record will automatically be updated with the publication information and that their institution and/or their funder can be automatically notified of the impending publication so that relevant repositories and CRIS systems can be populated automatically.

Additionally, there is a growing list of services that have been built on top of these standard identifiers. Profile systems (e.g. VIVO, Impact Story, Kudos) can automatically retrieve the latest information from a researcher’s ORCID record. Bibliographic management tools (EasyBib, Zotero, Papers) allow researchers to cite content with the latest metadata. And similarity checking services can harvest and index the latest scholarly literature for inclusion in the tools they have developed for detecting plagiarism and fraud. Funder identifiers are already playing an important role in this metadata workflow. As of November 2017, there are 1.7 million Crossref publication DOIs that are explicitly linked to an Open Funder Registry ID. These linkages serve as a foundation for initiatives like SHARE, CHORUS, and the Jisc Publications Router. But there are another 1+ million records that have funding information without an associated ID and, of course, 90+ million records that have no funding information at all.

So If we have global funder identifiers and they are already working, why do we need global grant identifiers as well? Don’t we just need to increase uptake of funder identifiers? How will grant identifiers help?

First, global grant identifiers could greatly reduce the UX complexity of gathering funder information. This, in turn, would boost the collection of funding information from researchers and ensure that the information that they provide to publishers, institutions and other funders is accurate and complete.

Second, the introduction of global grant identifiers would further increase the utility of links between research outputs and funding information. A grant identifier provides more granular information about the funding. Instead of just linking to information about the funder, a grant identifier would allow linking research outputs to particular research programs along with the information relating to those programs, such as grant durations, award amounts, etc. It would also allow analysis of relationships between multiple co-funding bodies.

To DOI or not to DOI?

Clearly, we think DOIs are pretty good things. But we also aren’t zealots. Sometimes DOIs are appropriate and sometimes they are not. For example, we were instrumental in defining the structure of the ORCID identifier and, in that case, we decided that DOIs were not appropriate.

But in the case of a global grant identifier system, we think there are a number of reasons adopting DOIs would be useful:

It is easy to “overlay” the global DOI system onto existing local identifier systems. An organization does not need to abandon their internal identifier scheme in order to use DOIs. They can instead incorporate their local scheme into the DOI structure via the simple mechanism of prepending their existing identifiers with an assigned DOI prefix and registering relevant metadata with a DOI registration agency like Crossref or DataCite.
DOI links are “persist-able”. That is they can resolve to different online locations even if domain names change and/or the DNS system itself is replaced. This characteristic is important for a grant identifier because funding agencies - particularly government funding agencies - tend to undergo frequent reorganisations (e.g. splitting, merging, restructuring) and renaming. An indirectly resolvable identifier like a DOI (or ARK, Handle, etc.) is critical to ensure the long-term integrity of identifiers in these situations.
There are 15K+ funders currently listed in the Open funder Registry. Each has their own grant identifier scheme and different levels of technical support for them (APIs, etc.). This makes it very difficult for 3rd parties to build tools that work “generically” with grant identifiers. But once a local identifier scheme had been “globalised” by making it a DOI, third parties can build tools without having to worry about the differences between individual funder systems.
Crossref and DataCite DOIs are deeply embedded in the tools and workflows of scholarly communications. Manuscript tracking systems, bibliographic management systems, metrics systems, CRIS systems, profile systems, etc. often have built-in mechanisms for consuming and making use of DOIs and their associated metadata.
Crossref and DataCite DOIs are cross-disciplinary. They are used in the humanities, social sciences, sciences and in a host of communities that frequently interact with the scholarly literature for example- NGOs, IGOs, patent systems, and standards bodies.
Crossref and DataCite provide a variety of APIs (e.g. REST, OAI-PMH) and services (e.g. search, Crossmark, Similarity Check, Scholix) built around DOIs.
DOI’s have a useful characteristic, which is that the “prefix” of a DOI can be used to determine who originally created the record with which the DOI is associated. In the case of grant identifiers, this means that the prefix of a DOI-based grant identifier could be used to automatically determine the correct funder responsible for the initial grant. This means that the UIs for entering funder/grant information could be both simplified and made more robust—which would likely increase the number of parties that collect and propagate id-based funder information.

But the use of DOIs as the basis for grant identifiers also introduces some potential barriers to adopting a standard funding identifier. For example:

Funders would need to be able to join a suitable DOI registration agency (e.g. Crossref, DataCite). Some funders (e.g. government agencies) may be restricted in their ability to “join” external organizations.
Funders would need to be able to create new DOIs and register associated metadata with their chosen registration agency in a timely manner. Some funders may be unable to generate metadata or may not have the technical capacity to automatically register metadata.
Funders would need to be able to provide an openly available (e.g. not behind access control) online resource to which the DOI would resolve. For example, a landing page describing the grant or a digital copy of the grant itself. Again, some funders may face technical barriers to providing an online resource to resolve to. In other cases there may be privacy or security reasons for not providing an open resource to which a DOI can resolve.

Still, the advisory group consensus has been that these barriers are generally surmountable. Most of the questions they had revolved around understanding what a DOI-based workflow would look like from the funder’s perspective, and so we outlined the steps a funder would need to take in order to adopt DOI-based global identifiers.

The DOI-based grant identifiers workflow

A funder registering metadata and creating DOIs for grants would need to support the following workflow:

When a grant is submitted, the funder would assign their own internal identifier for tracking, etc. For example 00-00-05-67-89.
If the grant is accepted, the funder would:
- generate a global public identifier for the grant based on the DOI. For example, assuming their prefix was 10.4440, then the global public identifier might become https://doi.org/10.4440/00-00-05-67-89.
- create a “landing page” on their website (or wherever they make their grants available online) to which the global public identifier will resolve. The landing page would display a TBD set of metadata describing the grant, as well as a link to the grant itself.
- register the generated DOI and a TBD set of metadata with their registration agency (RA) (e.g. Crossref or DataCite). This metadata would include the URL of the landing page defined above.
Once metadata and DOIs are registered with an RA, the funder would have a series of ongoing obligations:
- Update locations: If the location of the landing page changes (for example, because of a site restructuring, merger of split of the funding organization, etc.), the funder would need to update their metadata records to point the DOI to the new location.
- Update metadata: If metadata becomes out-of-date (e.g. the status of a grant changes, additional grant-related metadata is added, etc.), the funder would update the relevant records.
- Promote the use of the the DOI as the preferred global, public identifier for the grant. That is - the one that people should use when referring to or citing the grant (the funder can continue to use the original local identifier for their internal systems, etc.).

Again, the advisory group thought that this workflow seemed tractable and agreed that the best way to ensure that would be to proceed to creating a working pilot of a global grant identifier system based on the DOI.

Next steps

Crossref is starting a grant identifier pilot. We will create two sub-groups of the funder advisory group.

Group for “Governance, membership, and fees”

This group will look at governance and financial issues raised by the introduction of grant identifiers. For example, it will look at whether Crossref’s membership model works as is or might need to be adjusted in order to accommodate a new constituency. We know, for example, that some funders find it hard to become “members” of organizations. We might need to create other participation categories in order to accommodate these restrictions. Similarly the group will look design a pricing model of DOIs for grants in order to make sure that they cover the costs of modifying and sustaining the system for them, as well as to ensure that the pricing incentivises funders to participate. This sub-group will work closely with Crossref’s membership and fees committee.

Group for “Technical and metadata”

This group will look at any technical changes that need to be made to registration process in order to accommodate the new participants. If there are, they are likely to center around specific metadata requirements for grants. As such, the group will likely spend most of its time agreeing to a practical metadata schema for capturing relevant information about the myriad of ways in which organizations support research. This group will also liaise with other relevant technical working groups, such as those who are looking at organizational identifiers and conference identifiers.

The two sub-groups will first meet in January and, after a few meetings, will report back the advisory group with recommendations. Using these recommendations, we will develop an implementation plan which will include testing the infrastructure, testing metadata deposits, fee modelling, etc, with a small group of participants.

If you are a funder, and you would like to have somebody from your origanization participate in one of these working groups, please contact Ginny Hendricks. Note that joining the above groups does not commit you to anything other than engaging in the discussion. We want to make sure we create a system that works for a range of funders, not just those who can start testing something right away.

In Page Nav How To

Zach Anthony — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 12:00:00 +0000

The “In Page Nav”, aka “child nav” or “grand child nav” is the menu composed of grey boxes at the right side of most pages (or at the bottom of page if you are viewing the site on a mobile).

Whereas the main navigation at the left side of the page covers the entire website, the In Page Nav at right is just for pages that are one level down from the current one (in other words, child pages).

Add or Remove pages to the In Page Nav

The In Page Nav is automatically built based on the child pages that exist under the current page, so you can’t add or remove things from it directly. In the image below, co-access.md and all the other pages except _index.md will automatically be added to the In Page Nav for the main FAQs page, ../content/faqs/_index.md, because:

all of these files live in the /faqs folder;
and because _index.md is always the top level or parent page in a folder.

In this example, to add a new item to the In Page Nav for the FAQs page you would just add some-other-page.mdto the/faqsfolder. Similarly, to removereports.md`` from the menu you would just delete the page (or mark it as draft).

Changing the order of pages in the In Page Nav

Pages in the In Page Nav are ordered from top to bottom based on the weight frontmatter for each page. If weight isn’t present, the pages will be listed in the order that they were created (newest at top). When changing the weight of a page remember that any other page with the same weight may conflict, so you may sometimes have to update all of the child pages.

Changing the text that appears in the In Page Nav

When the In Page Nav is automatically built, each box is created from the title and summary frontmatter for a page. If summary isn’t set for a page, the first 70 words will be used instead. You can also control summary by placing <!--more--&gt in the content; any text above this will be used as the summary.

And our survey says...

Christine Cormack Wood — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Earlier this year we sent out a short survey inviting members to rate our performance. We asked what you think we do well, what we don’t do so well, and one thing we could do to improve our rating.

We were delighted to receive 313 responses and relieved that 93% of those were positive (phew!). It was very useful to hear your thoughts and to get such a variety of comments covering Product, Outreach, Marketing and Member Experience. There were a few recurring themes, three of which we’d like to address here:

1. Providing information in different languages

Not surprisingly, given the growing diversity of our member base, some respondents asked us to share information in languages other than English. We have been aware of this growing need for some time and have been working on a few developments in this area:

In January 2018 we will be launching a series of seven service videos in six different languages—French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.
January also sees the launch of a new initiative called the Ambassador Program. Ambassadors will work closely with Crossref to help spread the word about our services, and support our global members in their own languages.
During 2017 we hosted two webinars in Brazilian Portuguese and one in Turkish, and aim to increase this in 2018.

2. Member-to-member discussion forum

Some respondents asked for a facility to enable members to reach out to each other, giving direct opportunity for discussions and/or sharing experiences online (and in their own languages). We have been working for a few months now to provide a member-to-member discussion area, which is planned for 2018. Following a soft launch covering a few areas/topics, we’ll broaden the scope to include technical support, too.

3. Registering metadata more easily using the web deposit form

Many respondents requested a more user-friendly process for registering metadata through our webform. Our Product and DevOps teams have been working on this for some time and have created a new interface called the Metadata Manager, which is currently in Beta but scheduled to launch in Q1 of 2018.

Finally, we’d like to thank you for participating in our survey. Your valuable feedback and suggestions help us understand your experience, improve our service, shape the course of particular projects and even direct our future strategy.

As this survey was anonymous, we are unable to respond to anyone on an individual basis, however, if you’d like to have your particular comments addressed, we would love to hear from you directly.

Working with universities at Crossref LIVE Yogyakarta

Rachael Lammey — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Following on from our LIVE Annual Meeting in Singapore, my colleague, Susan Collins, and I held a local LIVE event in Yogyakarta thanks to support from Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD), Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo and one of Crossref’s new Sponsoring Affiliates, Relawan Jurnal Indonesia.

Over the past two years, we’ve seen accelerated growth in our membership in Asia Pacific (making up a quarter of all new members in the last two years). A lot of those new members have come from Indonesia, so it was great to have the opportunity to meet up, answer questions and to share knowledge between all our different organizations.

We welcomed speakers such as Dr. Muhammad Dimyati, from the Directorate General of Strengthening for Research and Development, Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education. Dr. Dimyati talked about the importance of Indonesian research and presented statistics on its growth, but also its coverage in different databases like Scopus and DOAJ.

Dr. Lukman from LIPI, the Indonesian Institute of Sciences also joined us to explain the importance of identifiers within the research ecosystem. As any identifier buff will know, we’re keen to talk more about how organizations are using Crossref metadata and identifiers, and the importance of providing good, complete metadata (Metadata2020) so this, plus a remote presentation from Nobuko Miyari from ORCID helped provide great context for the day.

Metadata and identifiers are of course just one part of the process, and Mr. Tole Sutikno from UAD gave an overview of good practice publishing by looking at some of the wider issues that journal editors (and researchers) need to know.

We had time in the afternoon to talk to our audience about Crossref - our different services, OJS integrations, funding data and our APIs, and thanks to our moderators we were able to take lots of questions from members who had specific questions about Crossmark, Cited-by and depositing references.

A few weeks later, and I’m still absorbing all of the things that happened on our (too) quick trip to Yogyakarta.

Thanks again to our members and hosts for attending the event and sharing their questions, ideas and plans with us, and we plan to come back to continue to build on these in future.

Peer reviews

Ginny Hendricks — Tue, 05 Dec 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Our members asked for the flexibility to register content for the reviews and discussions of scholarly content which they publish, so we’ve extended our infrastructure to support members who post them. We support a whole host of outputs made publicly available from the peer review history, as they vary greatly based on journal. This may include referee reports, decision letter, and author response. The overall set may include outputs from the initial submission only or those from all subsequent rounds of revisions. We also allow members to register content made up of discussions surrounding a journal article after it was published (e.g. post-publication reviews).

The following organizations consulted with us on the design and/or development of the peer review service:

Publons
PeerJ
F1000 Research
eLife
BioMedCentral
BMJ
Copernicus
EMBO
Nature Communications

Benefits

Our custom support for peer reviews ensures that links to these documents persist over time; the metadata provides relevant information about the reviews whether they were part of peer review or post-publication; these discussions are connected to the full history of the shared research results; contributors are given credit for their work; and the citation record is clear and up-to-date. This metadata may also support enrichment of scholarly discussion, reviewer accountability, publishing transparency, analysis or research on peer reviews, etc.

Specifically, registering peer reviews with us enables features such as:

Persistent identifiers for peer review to ensure successful links to the scholarly record over the course of time via the DOI resolver.
Content registration for peer reviews with custom metadata that capture the process surrounding the review
Links to the journal articles which were reviewed
Reference linking for peer review, connecting up the scholarly record to associated literature
Auto-update of ORCID records to ensure that peer review contributors get credit for their work.
Discoverability: we make the metadata available for machine and human access, across multiple interfaces (e.g. REST API, OAI-PMH, and Search).

Obligations & limitations

Members depositing peer review content need to make sure they:

Register content using the [peer review metadata schema]
All reviews must include relations metadata linking the review with the item being reviewed. (relation type: isReviewOf).

Other considerations:

References will be flagged as belonging to a peer review in our Cited-by service
The peer review is treated as one item only without components for its constituent parts.
Peer review content items are not currently able to participate in Crossmark.

Membership & fees

Peer review posters who would like to use our registration service should apply to join as a member (annual fee starting at $275). Membership of Crossref can be layered, you could join directly, or under a Sponsor who handles your technical and/or financial administration. We have a dedicated fee structure for peer reviews which allows for an unlimited number of reviews per associated article, combined in a single fee. Please see our fees page for more information.

Are you an existing Crossref member who wants to start linking up reviews? Let’s talk about getting started or migrating any existing mis-labelled content over to the dedicated peer review deposit schema. If you’re not yet a member but want to register your reviews so they are included within Crossref infrastructure service, please contact our membership team so we can answer any questions and get you set up.

Getting started

Our schema includes support for the following fields:

Contributor, to capture reviewer name and role, choose from:
- reviewer
- review-assistant
- stats-reviewer
- reviewer-external
- reader
- translator
- anonymous
title
review_date
institution
competing_interest_statement
running_number
license data
relations
stage
type
recommendation

Resolving Citations (we don’t need no stinkin’ parser)

Geoffrey Bilder — Wed, 29 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000

If you are reading this, you may be faced with the following problem- You have a collection of free-form citations which you have copied from a scholarly article and you want to import them into a bibliographic management tool (or other database). In short, you would like to turn something like this:

Carberry, J 2008, “Toward a Unified Theory of High-Energy Metaphysics: Silly String Theory.” Journal of Psychoceramics, vol. 5, no. 11, pp. 1-3.

Into something more like this:

@article{Carberry_2008, title={Toward a Unified Theory of High-Energy Metaphysics: Silly String Theory}, volume={5}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.5555/12345678}, DOI={10.5555/12345678}, number={11}, journal={Journal of Psychoceramics}, publisher={Society of Psychoceramics}, author={Carberry, Josiah}, year={2008}, month={Aug}, pages={1-3}}

Or even this:

TY - JOUR
JO - Journal of Psychoceramics
AU - Josiah Carberry
SN - 0264-3561
TI - Toward a Unified Theory of High-Energy Metaphysics: Silly String Theory
SP - 1
EP - 3
VL - 5
PB - Society of Psychoceramics
PY - 2008

The traditional approach to this is often “We’ll start by trying to parse the citation into its component parts.” Indeed, there are a number of tools that try to do this:

Which is cool, but parsing citations is very difficult- particularly with obscure and/or terse citation styles.

But there is another way!

Instead of trying to parse the citation, just search for the record in a database that already has the citation parsed. The Crossref REST API is remarkably good for this. For example:

https://api.crossref.org/works?query.bibliographic=Carberry%2C+Josiah.+%E2%80%9CToward+a+Unified+Theory+of+High-Energy+Metaphysics%3A+Silly+String+Theory.%E2%80%9D+Journal+of+Psychoceramics+5.11+%282008%29%3A+1-3.#

Gives you the following result:

That’s already pretty cool. But if you extract the DOI from the above and use DOI content negotiation to query the the DOI like this:

$ curl -LH "Accept: application/x-bibtex" http://dx.doi.org/10.5555/12345678

You get the following result in BibTex:

@article{Carberry_2008, title={Toward a Unified Theory of High-Energy Metaphysics: Silly String Theory}, volume={5}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.5555/12345678}, DOI={10.5555/12345678}, number={11}, journal={Journal of Psychoceramics}, publisher={Society of Psychoceramics}, author={Carberry, Josiah}, year={2008}, month={Aug}, pages={1-3}}

Yay!

There, that wasn’t too hard, was it?

OK, what is the catch?

Well… using Crossref REST API has a number of limitations that you should be aware of:

Crossref metadata contains more than just bibliographic metadata. You need to use query.bibliographic if you want to restrict your query to just bibliographic information. Otherwise you may get false positives.
The API will almost always match *something*. You need to look at the score in order to determine the likelihood that you’ve got a correct match.
It only works on content listed in Crossref’s database. Still, this is a lot of content.
The metadata in Crossref’s database can sometimes be… spotty*

But using the API also has a big benefit– You get fewer false negatives. If you have a typo or incomplete metadata, it will do a much better job than a strict citation parser or OpenURL Query.

In short, the Crossref REST API is very good at resolving citations. We encourage you to try it and let us know how it works for you.

Note that if you are having trouble getting hold of free-form citations to begin with, you may want to use the Cermine tool for extracting citations from PDFs.

Using the Crossref REST API. Part 7 (with CHORUS)

Christine Cormack Wood — Mon, 27 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Continuing our blog series highlighting the uses of Crossref metadata, we talked to CHORUS about the work they’re doing, and how they’re using our REST API as part of their workflow.

Introducing CHORUS

CHORUS (www.chorusaccess.org) is an innovative non-profit organization that supports funders, publishers, authors and institutions to deliver public access to articles reporting on funded research. Our vision is to create a future where the output flowing from funded research is easily and permanently discoverable, accessible and verifiable by anyone in the world.

CHORUS currently monitors over 400,000 articles for more than 20 US federal and two international funding agencies, and has partnerships with Department of Defense, Department of Energy, National Science Foundation, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Office of the Director National of Intelligence: Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity, Smithsonian Institution, US Department of Agriculture, US Geological Survey, Japan Science and Technology Agency, and the Australian Research Council. CHORUS is supported by over 50 publisher and affiliate members who represent the majority of funded published research.

What problem is your service trying to solve?

CHORUS is the first service of CHOR Inc., founded in 2013 in response to the directive of the US Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) for all US federal research agencies to develop and implement plans to widen public access to publications and data associated with federally funded research.

CHORUS aims to minimize public access compliance burdens and ensure the long-term preservation and accessibility of articles reporting on funded research. We provide the necessary metadata infrastructure and governance to enable a smooth, low-friction interface between funders, authors, institutions and publishers in a distributed network environment. CHORUS’ services track public accessibility of articles regardless of whether they are published Gold OA or made open by the publisher.

Can you tell us how you are using the Crossref REST API at CHORUS?

The Crossref REST API is a key source for the metadata database that powers the CHORUS Dashboard, Search and Reporting services for Funders, Institutions and Publishers.

What metadata values do you pull from the API?

We pull the basic bibliographic information such as publisher, journal title, article title, authors and publication date. Perhaps even more important to our area of focus are the funder, grant and license information.

How often do you extract/query data?

CHORUS uses the Crossref REST API every day.

Can you describe your workflow using Crossref metadata?

Every night we query the Crossref API to send us metadata for all article or conference proceeding records for our member publishers that have funder metadata matching the funders monitored by CHORUS.

CHORUS monitors these DOIs for public accessibility on publisher websites; inclusion in agency search tools; deposit in a growing list of funder repositories (e.g.,US DOE PAGES,NSF PAR, and USGS Publications Warehouse and NIH PubMed Central); and for associated ORCID researcher records. CHORUS also uses the reuse license metadata to identify when an article is expected to be made publicly accessible.

Finally, we check for ingestion in CLOCKSS and/or Portico to ensure long-term preservation and accessibility of research findings reported in journal and proceedings articles. Our preservation partners keep the full text in their dark archives, only making it available when the content may no longer be made publicly accessible by the publisher.

The collected and enhanced metadata is presented in our dashboard, search and reporting services all including links back to the publisher sites via the Crossref DOI.

What are the future plans for CHORUS?

Following the success of our Funder and Publisher Dashboards, CHORUS is expanding the services we provide to international funders, non-governmental funders, and institutions. Our first funder partnership outside of the United States is with the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). CHORUS announced its new Institution Dashboard service this Autumn after successfully concluding pilots with the University of Florida and University of Denver. CHORUS will also be adding links to relevant datasets and other metadata utilizing forthcoming identifiers and metadata standards.

What else would you like to see the REST API offer

It would be great to see more identification of funders from Crossref members. While we have seen great leaps since 2013, we all have a long way to go. We are also eager to see Crossref incorporate the Organization Identifiers that they have begun with ORCID, DataCite and others.

Thanks, CHORUS! If you would like to contribute a case study on the uses of Crossref Metadata APIs please contact me, Chrissie Cormack Wood.

Executive committee

Thu, 16 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000

The Executive Committee is made up of the Chair, Treasurer and three other board members, one who has to be a representative of a non-profit member. The Executive committee has three major functions, to:

Steer: create and review agendas for discussion and decision by the Board.
Oversee: evaluate key performance indicators and suggest corrective actions between Board meetings.
Expedite: take any decisions delegated to it by the board. This usually happens after full board discussion reaches a consensus on a major initiative and wants open details resolved before the next board meeting.

The research nexus - better research through better metadata

Jennifer Lin — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Researchers are adopting new tools that create consistency and shareability in their experimental methods. Increasingly, these are viewed as key components in driving reproducibility and replicability. They provide transparency in reporting key methodological and analytical information. They are also used for sharing the artifacts which make up a processing trail for the results: data, material, analytical code, and related software on which the conclusions of the paper rely. Where expert feedback was also shared, such reviews further enrich this record. We capture these ideas and build on the notion of the “article nexus” blogpost with a new variation: “the research nexus.”

Some of Crossref’s publishing community are encouraging the scholarly communication practices surrounding these tools in a variety of ways: incorporating them into the publishing workflow, integrations between the tools and publishing systems, as well as linking and exposing the artifacts in the publications for readers to access. A special set of publishers have gone all the way and included these links into their Crossref metadata record. They insert them directly into the metadata deposit when they register the content (technical documentation). Doing so, these connections reach further than the publisher platform and propagate to systems across the research ecosystem including places like indexers, research information management systems, sharing platforms (oh, the list goes on!). We highlight a small set of examples to illustrate how these outstanding publishing practices are supporting good research.

1. Linking to an entire collection of methods

Crossref member, Protocols.io, is supporting transparency and methods reproducibility with their open access repository of science methods. Leitão-Goncalves R, Carvalho-Santos Z, Francisco AP, et al. investigated the concerted action of the commensal bacteria Acetobacter pomorum and Lactobacilli in Drosophila melanogaster, demonstrating how the interaction of specific nutrients within the microbiome can shape behavioral decisions and life history traits. Findings were published in PLOS Biology earlier this year: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.2000862. Authors deposited detailed methods and protocols used in the project (Drosophila rearing, media preparations, and microbial manipulations) as a collection in Protocols.io: https://doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.hdtb26n. So Protocols.io registered their content with us, linking the protocol to the paper. This creates the crosswalk between both so that users can get from one to the other through the metadata. The full metadata record can be found here.

2. Linking to video protocol

If a picture is worth a thousand words, the truism might apply to moving pictures many times over. Fasel B, Spörri J, Schütz P, et al. proposed a set of calibration movements optimized for alpine skiing and validated the 3D joint angles of the knee, hip, and trunk during alpine skiing in a PLOS ONE paper: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0181446. These movements consisted of squats, trunk rotations, hip ad/abductions, and upright standing. The specific team responsible for designing them (Fasel B, Spörri J, Kröll J, and Aminian K) described the set of calibration movements performed but found videos to be a far more effective way to communicate the technical movements used in their study. They made the visuals available too: https://doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.itrcem6. So Protocols.io deposited the link between video protocol and paper to the Crossref metadata record (full metadata record).

3. Linking to software and peer reviews

The Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) is an academic journal about high quality research software across broadly diverse disciplines. Sara Mahar works on the effectiveness of organizations funded by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development to combat homelessness. She collaborated with computational physicist Matthew Bellis to create a python tool for researchers to visualize and analyze data from the Homeless Management Information System:https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.00384. The software was archived in Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13750 and the peer review artifacts were also published. JOSS deposited all these links in the metadata record (found here).

4. Linking to preprint, data, code, source code, peer reviews

Gigascience, published by Oxford University Press, is experimenting with a number of new tools in their mission to promote reproducibility of analyses and data dissemination, organization, understanding, and use. In a recent paper Luo R, Schatz M, and Salzberg S shared the results of the firstly publicly available implementation of variant calling using a 16-genotype probabilistic model for germline variant detection: https://doi.org/10.1093/gigascience/gix045. Prior to formal peer review, the group posted the preprint in bioRxiv: https://doi.org/10.1101/111393. When the paper was published, the authors made the supporting data available, including snapshots of the test and result data, in a public repository: http://dx.doi.org/10.5524/100316. OUP included this data citation in their Crossref metadata record via the routes recommended in our previous blog post about depositing data citations (https://www.crossref.org/blog/how-do-you-deposit-data-citations/). The researchers made the code available in Github, and the algorithm is ready for researchers to run on Code Ocean, a cloud-based computational reproducibility platform that allows researchers to wrap and encapsulate the data, code, and computation environment linked to an article: https://doi.org/10.24433/CO.0a812d9b-0ff3-4eb7-825f-76d3cd049a43. For further transparency, expert reviews of the manuscript from the peer review history were published in Publons: http://dx.doi.org/10.5524/review.100737 and http://dx.doi.org/10.5524/review.100738. (As of last month, publishers can register peer reviews at Crossref). The full metadata record contains links to the entire set of materials listed above.

5. Linking to preprint, Code, Docker hub, video, reviews

Narechania A, Baker R, DeSalle R, et al. used bird flocking behavior to design an algorithm, Clusterflock, for optimizing distance-based clusters in orthologous gene families that share an evolutionary history. Their paper was published in Gigascience last year: https://doi.org/10.1186/s13742-016-0152-3. Supporting data, code snapshots and video were published in GigaDB: http://dx.doi.org/10.5524/100247. Code was maintained in GitHub. And authors also created a Docker application for Clusterflock, a lightweight, stand-alone, executable package of the software which includes everything needed to run it: code, runtime, system tools, system libraries, settings (Docker Hub link here). They created a video demo of the algorithm. Publons reviews were published http://dx.doi.org/10.5524/review.100507 and http://dx.doi.org/10.5524/review.100508. Gigascience shared all these assets in their publication, including the link to the original bioRxiv preprint: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/03/25/045773). The full metadata record containing these links can be found here.

Event Data terms of use

Christine Buske — Fri, 10 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Version 1.0

Who are we?

Crossref is a not-for-profit membership organization providing certain technology services to the scholarly community on a noncommercial basis.

What is Crossref Event Data?

Crossref Event Data [the “Service”] is a Crossref service which provides a unique record of the relationship between web activity and specific scholarly content items (e.g. a journal article which has been referenced on a Wikipedia page). The Service is a hub for the collection, storage and distribution of data concerning these relationships. When a relationship is observed between a Crossref-registered content item and a specific web activity, the data is expressed in the Service as an “Event”. An “Event” is the record of a relationship between an item of registered content and a specific activity. The Service provides Events from a variety of web sources. Each web source is referred to as a “Data Contributor”. A “Data Contributor” means the location where a relationship was observed. The Events, and all original data from the Data Contributor, are available in the Service via an API.

What are the Terms of Use for Crossref Event Data?

To facilitate data access and maximal reuse, all Events provided in the Service are tagged with a license that is conformant with the principles laid out in the Open Definition. This ensures that data made available in the Service can be made publicly available and reused, in accordance with the conditions of the specific licence associated with each Event. To this end, the service will only include data from Data Contributors who can provide this to the service via a license conformant with the Open Definition.

Consumers of the Service must ensure they abide by the conditions set out in the license tagged to each Event. In addition, consumers must also ensure to comply with any conditions set out in both the Data Contributor’s Privacy Policy as well as the Crossref Privacy Policy.

The Crossref Event Data service will respect the restrictions provided in robots.txt to ensure the service does not follows links when directed not to by these files. In addition, like search engines, Crossref runs software which visits websites. Events from our Newsfeeds, Reddit Links and Web sources are derived in this way.

Data from all Data Contributors is made available in the Service via the Creative Commons CC-0 1.0 license waiver, with the exception of the following Data Contributors listed below:

Data Contributor	Terms of Use / License
Crossref Metadata	Made available without restriction
Cambia Lens	Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 4.0
Stack Exchange Network	Creative Commons CC-BY 4.0

Privacy

In addition to the license associated with each Event, consumers of the Service must also ensure to comply with any conditions set out in the both the Crossref Privacy Policy as well as the Data Contributor’s own Privacy Policy. It’s a Service requirement that you adhere to the conditions stated in these policies. Every Event we provide via an API will contain the link to the Crossref Terms of Use page, where all the information and links you need regarding use and reuse will be available.

Where there are specific privacy policies of which Crossref is aware, that are associated with a particular Data Contributor, they are listed below.

A transparent record of life after publication

Madeleine Watson — Wed, 01 Nov 2017 00:00:00 +0000

Crossref Event Data and the importance of understanding what lies beneath the data.

Some things in life are better left a mystery. There is an argument for opaqueness when the act of full disclosure only limits your level of enjoyment: in my case, I need a complete lack of transparency to enjoy both chicken nuggets and David Lynch films. And that works for me. But metrics are not nuggets. Because in order to consume them, you really need to know how they’re made. Knowing the provenance of data, along with the context with which it was derived, provides everyone with the best chance of creating indicators which are fit for purpose. This is just one of the reasons why we built the Event Data infrastructure with transparency in mind.

The transparency problem

For the scholarly community, alternative metrics to citation count (‘altmetrics’) are becoming increasingly popular as they can offer rich and expedited insight into today’s diverse and dynamic research environment. Research artifacts undergo an extended life online as they’re linked, shared, saved and discussed in forums both within and beyond the traditional academic ecosystem. Data on these interactions are initially fragmented and buried within platforms like social media, blogs and news sites. Downstream, there are several value-add services that collate and present that data as a single, aggregated count. We see individual data points like ‘paper X was tweeted 22 times’, and ‘paper X is referenced 16 times on Wikipedia’ being combined, homogenised, weighted and expressed as a single figure, a calculated number serving as a proxy for value. But altmetrics alone don’t tell the whole story, and how they are calculated is not without idiosyncrasy or politics. As we each have our own unique voice and perspective, we need to ensure we understand the lenses through which these metrics are made in order to consume them effectively.

The 2015 Metric Tide report highlighted transparency as one of the five dimensions of responsible metrics. Having access to the context used to create a metric — the provenance of the original data as well as full transparency around its extraction, processing and aggregation — helps consumers to use the data meaningfully and allows for comparison across third-party vendors. But transparency is difficult to achieve when, as the report notes, the systems and infrastructure for collecting and curating altmetrics-style data are fragmented and have limited interoperability.

In the academic community, underlying centralised systems include ORCIDs to identify people and DOIs to identify items. But we’re missing a transparent, centralised infrastructure for describing and recording the relationships between objects and resources¹. These relationships, or links, occur outside publisher platforms and can provide valuable information about the interconnectivity and dissemination of research. Dedicated infrastructure for collecting these relationships would provide a data source for those interested in altmetrics to build upon.

Figure 1.1 Example of some relationships between articles and activity on the web

At Crossref, we call these relationships Events. An Event is the record of a claim made about the existence of a relationship between a registered content item (i.e. a DOI) and a specific activity on the web. Events include:

a DataCite dataset DOI contains a link to a Crossref article DOI
an article was referenced in Wikipedia
an article was mentioned on Twitter
an article has a Hypothes.is annotation
a blog contains a link to an article

In collaboration with DataCite, we are collecting Events for the DOIs registered with our organisations and are making that data available for others in the community to use. This is the Event Data infrastructure, with which we’re plugging the gap in open scholarly relationships infrastructure. https://staging.crossref.org/blog/a-transparent-record-of-life-after-publication/

The Event Data infrastructure

Crossref and DataCite have for many years provided a centralised location for bibliographic metadata and links, and a facility to help our members register Persistent Identifiers (DOIs) for their content. With nearly 100 million DOIs registered with Crossref, we know where research lives. Which got us thinking — could we use these links to find out more about the journey research undertakes after publication? Could we express these interactions as links without any aggregation or counts so it could be maximally reused? And if so, could we then provide this data in an open, centralised, structured format? The answer was yes, subject to some challenges:

Querying for individual DOIs wasn’t scalable for our full corpus of 100 million items, so we had to find something else.
Not everyone uses the DOI link (not a surprise!). Most people will link directly to the publisher’s site. This means we need to look for links using both the DOI and article landing page URLs.
When we find people referring to registered content using its landing page, we find the DOI for that content item so that the link can be referenced in our data set in a stable, link-rot-proof way.
We don’t always know the article landing page URL for every DOI upfront because like many relationships, the one between DOIs and URLs is complicated.

We began by asking the wrong questions and as a result we got the wrong type of data back: instead of returning a record of individual actions, we were returning aggregated counts. Aside from not meeting our use case, aggregation requires the curation of an ever-churning dataset in order to keep totals updated, which is not scalable for the number of DOIs in our corpus.

We soon learnt to ask the right questions. One pivotal change in approach was that instead of counts, we asked instead ‘what activity is happening on Twitter for this article?’. Our data went from ‘DOI X was mentioned 20 times on Twitter as of this date’ to ‘tweet X mentions DOI X on this date’. The data are now represented as a subject-verb-object triple:

Figure 1.2 Triple table.

Ultimately this has allowed us to represent actions like Wikipedia page edits as individual atomic actions (i.e an Event) rather than as a dataset that changes over time. Being open about the provenance of altmetrics with Event Data Crossref Event Data (the Crossref-specific service powered by the shared Event Data infrastructure) has evolved beyond a link store to become a continual stream of Events; each Event tells a new part of the story. Rather than constantly updating an Event whenever a new action takes place, we add a new one instead:

Figure 1.3 A Wikipedia Event.

Events answer a whole range of questions, such as:

What links to what?
How was the link made?
Which Agent collected the Event?
Which data source?
When was the link observed?
When do we think the link actually happened?
What algorithms were used to collect it?
Where’s the evidence?

We’re collecting data from a diverse range of platforms including Twitter, Wikipedia, blogs and news sites, Reddit, StackExchange, Wordpress.com and Hypothes.is. This means that when we observe a link in these platforms to what we think is a DOI, we create an Event and a corresponding Evidence Record to represent our observation. We also have Events to represent the links between research items registered with Crossref and DataCite - for example, when a Crossref DOI deposit cites a DataCite DOI and vice versa.

The provenance of the data is fully transparent and is made available to everyone via an open API. We call this the evidence trail. The record of each link (‘Events’) as well as the corresponding evidence can then be used to feed into tools for impact measurement, discoverability, collaboration and network analysis.

Therefore, one application of Event Data is as an underlying, transparent data source for altmetrics calculations. For example, you might want to know the total number of times your paper has been mentioned on Twitter to date. If I told you that the number was 22, what does that actually mean? Do you know whether I counted both tweets and retweets? Do you consider both of these actions as equal? Is the sentiment of the tweet important to you? Was it a human or a bot that initiated a tweet? Are you interested in tweets containing links to multiple representations of your paper or do you only want to track mentions of your version of record (the final published copy)? With Event Data as your underlying data source, you can answer these questions.

Not only transparent in data, transparent by design

The National Information Standards Organisation (NISO), a US organisation responsible for technical standards for publishing, bibliographic and library applications, has developed a set of recommendations for transparency in their Alternative Assessment Metrics Project report, as well as a Code of Conduct for both altmetric practitioners and aggregators that aims to help improve the quality of altmetrics data. The working groups recognised that without transparency and conforming to a recognised standard, altmetric indicators “are difficult to assess, and thus may be seen as less reliable for purposes of measuring influence or evaluation”¹.

Crossref Event Data is one of the example altmetric data providers listed in the NISO recommendations. My colleague Joe Wass participated in the development and specification of the NISO “Altmetrics Recommended Practices on Data Metrics, Alternative Outputs, and Persistent Identifiers” at the same time as we were working with DataCite on Event Data, so they have mutually informed one another.

Figure 1.4 Martin Fenner (DataCite) and Joe Wass (Crossref) drawing plans for the Event Data infrastructure.

The outcome of our involvement in the NISO recommendations is that Crossref Event Data is a service that is transparent by design. We have opened up our entire extraction and processing workflow so that we can clearly demonstrate the context and environment that was used to generate an Event. This evidence is a core component of our transparency-first principle.

Building services on Event Data

There are some really exciting ways that people are already using Event Data, and we’re still only in beta. Our aim has always been to create an open, portable, transparent data set that can be used by our diverse community including researchers, application developers, publishers, funders and third-party service providers. We have already seen data from our service used in recent research studies, impact reports and even a front-end tool. Launched recently as a prototype, ImpactStory’s Paperbuzz.org uses Event Data as one of its data sources for tracking the online buzz around scholarly articles. Jason Priem, cofounder of ImpactStory, notes:

“Because Crossref Event Data is completely open data, we believe it’s a game-changer for altmetrics. Our latest project, Paperbuzz.org, is just the first of a whole constellation of upcoming tools that will add value on top of Crossref’s open data.”

We are working towards launching Crossref Event Data as a production service. In the meantime though, please do take a look at our comprehensive User Guide. Hopefully you’ll be inspired to go make something cool using the data! Events are being collected constantly; take a look below as they stream in from our data sources or visit our live stream demo site to watch in real time.

Figure 1.5 Screen capture of Crossref Event Data live stream demo.

As the service matures, we’ll continue to add new platforms to track and I also encourage anyone with article link data to get in touch to discuss how we can share it with the community via Event Data.

For researchers in particular, I’m really keen to hear your thoughts on our data model and about the things we could additionally provide you with from an infrastructure perspective that would best support your research needs.

And if you’re a publisher, take a look at our Event Data best practice guidelines — there’s some really important information in there about how you can help give us the best chance possible of collecting Events for your registered content.

And finally, if you’re a consumer of altmetrics data, I encourage you to ask questions. Ask your altmetrics vendors about how they gather their data and what context they apply to the aggregation of the metrics they supply. Ask yourself what behaviours you are interested in tracking and equally those you are not. Think about the endgame; about the type of impact you’re truly trying to measure and the story you want to tell. Because it’s these questions that will help you choose indicators that are the best fit for your own unique narrative.

Members with open references

Ginny Hendricks — Tue, 31 Oct 2017 00:00:00 +0000

This table shows a list of our members that have set (some of) their references to Open. A new reference distribution policy, effective January 1st, 2018 was adopted by the board in 2017. Crossref members can choose to set their references to ‘Open’, ‘Limited’, or ‘Closed’, per prefix. Here is the list of the members with Closed references.

Using this report

If you do not see a publisher on this list, then their references are not Open. Check the Closed list and if not there either, they are ‘Limited’.
Not all members deposit references with the rest of their metadata—around one third do include them (3068 out of our 10461 members). The table below lists all members with the Open setting, they do not necessarily deposit any references. Click the headings to sort.
Some members have more than one prefix, and some may be Open but other prefixes not. This could be because a prefix is used for a specific content type that doesn’t have references e.g. datasets or components.
This table updates with every build of this website, so it may be a couple of days out of date. Check the date at the bottom of this page.
‘Backfiles’ are anything older than two years. ‘Current’ is the last two years, rolling.
