Rachael Lammey, Head of Community Outreach, talks about the various ways publish register their content and deposit metadata at Crossref. Presented at Crossref LIVE Kuala Lumpur, 8 July 2019.
3. First steps
1. We send you a prefix and login
2. Review different methods for registering your metadata
4. Your prefix
• One prefix may be used for all content
• New titles may be added at any time
• No limit to the number of DOIs created, also no minimum
number is required.
10.444410.55555
5. Your prefix ≠ your content
• It means you created a DOI
• It does not mean you are the current content
owner
DOIs move from member to member all the time!
7. DOI suffix
• consistent
• simple
• short
More details: https://support.crossref.org/hc/en-us/articles/214669823
8. Crossref DOI display guidelines
• Always be displayed as a full URL link
• An example of the best practice in displaying a Crossref DOI link is:
https://doi.org/10.1629/22161
• Old format was http://dx.doi.org/
9. Your landing page
• A full bibliographic citation so that the user can verify they have been
delivered to the correct item
• The DOI displayed as a URL, per display guidelines
• A way to access full text: access to full text is completely controlled
by the publisher but the landing page must be accessible to
everyone.
10. What can I register?
Journals
Books
Book chapters
Conference proceedings
Datasets
Dissertations
Reports
Standards
Posted content (preprints)
Peer reviews
… and more
13. more metadata
reference lists, funding data, ORCIDs, license data, clinical trial numbers,
errata, retractions, updates and more through our Crossmark service,
JATS-formatted abstracts, relationships between items…
14. Ways to register content
• Upload XML file (https://doi.crossref.org)
• The manual web deposit form (https://apps.crossref.org/
webdeposit)
• OJS Crossref plugin
• The new Metadata Manager
15. Create XML
Crossref Schema
Metadata deposit schema: for everything
Metadata deposit schema 4.4.1 (documentation)
Resource schema: for adding most non-bibliographic metadata to existing records
doi_resources4.3.6.xsd (documentation)
20. metadata
record
funding
data
bad data
@#&$*@ citations
Submission queue
All content registration
submissions are added
to the same queue
Most are processed
quickly but if not, you
can view your spot in
the queue
21. Success! Your content now has
persistent identifiers and a Crossref
metadata record
???????
hooray!
Failure…your content has not been
registered.
27. Metadata quality is important!
• Funding: funder identifier, grant number
• License: URL and date, free to read?
• Related items: connect to reviews, preprints, data
• ORCID iDs: identify authors
• Abstracts
• Updates via Crossmark
31. Where does it all go?
Funders, Institutions, Archives & repositories, Research
councils, Data centers, Professional networks, Patent
offices, Indexing services, Publishing vendors, Peer
review systems, Reference manager systems, Lab &
diagnostics suppliers, Info management systems,
Educational tools, Data analytics systems, Literature
discovery services…
33. Benefits for Members Benefits for the Public
• Easily find out what metadata they
register
• See what metadata members
register
• See what their competition is doing • See their progress over time
• See how they can improve and be
the best that they can be
• Understand the quality of
members' metadata and find out
what needs to be improved
• Generally leave being in the dark
behind
• See what their competition is
doing
40. Sharing metadata - benefits
• Greater discovery of your content
• Inclusion in discovery services
• Only your metadata is shared – not your full text!
