During this webinar we’ll take you on a tour of our Participation Reports, which give Crossref members and the wider scholarly community a clear, visual snapshot of the metadata that each one of our members is registering with Crossref.
Registering richer metadata makes your content more useful and more discoverable to researchers and the wider scholarly community. This webinar was held on 15 January 2020.
3. A place where:
● You can see what metadata you are
registering with Crossref
● You can track progress of your metadata
● You’re able to see how you measure up to
other members
What?
4. Crossref members:
● Not always aware of what metadata they’re
sending to Crossref
● Can see what’s missing and can fix the gaps
● Can track progress of their metadata in an
easy and user-friendly way
Why?
7. So let’s see how it works

and identify areas where you are doing well and areas where you could send more metadata.
11. 2020 New Year’s Resolutions
1. Check your participation report regularly
to see how you’re doing
2. Update missing metadata
3. Register as much metadata as possible
Hi everyone, Thank you for joining us today. This is the Participation report webinar. We will get started in a few minutes as not everyone that registered had a chance to join. We had a big turnout for this webinar.
WHAT?
The reports provide a clear picture for anyone to see what metadata Crossref has.
Bullet 1
They are a place where you can check what metadata you are registering with Crossref. They are open and free to use by anyone.
Bullet 2
They allow our members to track what metadata they are registering with us which is not always easy.
Bullet 3
They allow for the opportunity to evaluate and educate and for members to see how they measure up and see where the gaps are so that they can be improved.
They are now about a year and a half old. We launched them in the summer of 2018. They are in Beta (or what we like to call Phase 1). We’re hoping to improve them so your feedback is very valuable.
