- 3. Crossref makes research outputs easy to find, cite, link, assess, and reuse. We’re a not-for-profit membership organization that exists to make scholarly communications better. Mission
- 4. Our truths
- 6. Crossref overview • Over 12,000 member organizations • 16 member board, cross section of international publishers • Metadata store of over 100 million scholarly content items • A DOI is just the start - We offer a wide array of services to ensure that scholarly research metadata is registered, linked, and distributed. • We preserve the metadata we receive and make it available via our open APIs and Search.
- 7. Why do publishers join Crossref? • To help get their content discovered • Show people where their content is located and update that if/when the content moves • Drive more traffic to publications • Turn references into hyperlinks • Find out who is using their content • Participate in other collaborative services
- 8. Crossref Members and Affiliates by Year
- 11. Content Types • Journals • Books • Conference proceedings • Standards • Technical reports • Working Papers • Theses and dissertations • Components (figures, tables) • Datasets (supplementary data) • Databases • Posted content (includes preprints) • Peer Reviews
- 12. What are we up to?
- 13. Using metadata: who, why and how?
- 14. What do we mean when we talk about Crossref metadata?
- 15. Members —> Crossref Basic metadata: titles; author names; ISSNs/ ISBNs, abstracts, references Funding Information, Funder identifiers, award numbers License Information, License URIs Full-text URIs (e.g. for text mining and similarity check) Crossmark: updates, retractions, corrections ORCID iDs Recently: Peer Review reports, relations Soon… Organization IDs, Grant IDs…
- 16. Crossref metadata for machines & humans
- 21. Measure, report…
- 23. A collaborative writing tool Built a tool based on Crossref metadata to allow authors to search and cite without leaving the editor. Match & link citations
- 25. Aggregate and integrate content Help Unpaywall identify and disambiguate over 20 million Open Access articles, and it is absolutely essential to our work. We 😍 ❤ 🤗 Crossref! – Jason Priem, ImpactStory
- 26. Collect related research objects We check for the availability of articles associated with our data packages, and to verify some of our metadata. Being able to do this programmatically has revolutionized our data publication workflow. – Elizabeth Hull, Dryad
- 27. Fill metadata gaps We enrich the metadata of our hosted preprints and link them to the manuscript or version of record. We also perform various analyses regarding the completeness and discoverability of our records. – Mark Hahnel, Figshare
- 28. Verify records are valid and accurate Identify articles unambiguously as we preserve scholarly literature in our system. Also, in the rare instances when we ‘trigger’ journals for open access, we want the reference-linking functionality to work, and we work with Crossref to point the URLs to our site for resolution. – Craig van Dyck, CLOCKSS
- 30. over 600 million metadata queries per month across all interfaces
- 31. Crossref REST API overview • Search, filter or sample metadata from thousands of members • Returns results in JSON • The information is continually updated • The REST API helps unlock the value metadata; making it available to query easily and to integrate into other tools and services • No sign-up is required and the data can be treated as facts from members. Therefore it is not subject to copyright and available to use for whatever purpose • Simplifies access for researchers who want to mine and analyze research outputs and content
- 32. Metadata API Plus ● Metadata ‘snapshots’ ● Metadata normalized across interfaces ● Priority support ● Guaranteed uptime ● Higher rate limit ● Notifications ● *Also has a free public interface
- 34. No, this is Crossref metadata
- 35. This may be your Crossref metadata
- 38. Our services • Reference Linking • Cited-by • The Funder Registry • Event Data • Crossmark • Similarity Check
- 39. Our services • Reference Linking • Cited-by • The Funder Registry • Event Data • Crossmark • Similarity Check
- 40. Reference linking means hyperlinking to Crossref DOIs when you create your citation list.
- 43. How to add Crossref DOI links to references • Use a search engine for individual articles (slow) • Query Crossref with XML (efficient, requires skill) • Use Crossref lookup tools (simple) • Use Metadata Manager • Third party tools such as OJS 3.1.2
- 46. Cited-by provides a clear overview of the publications that have cited a piece of content - and lets your readers navigate from your content to the content that is citing it.
- 48. How to participate 1. Deposit reference lists with Crossref for your journal 2. Email [email protected] to sign-up 3. Query Crossref for a list of all DOIs citing a document 4. Display Cited-by results on your website No fee - Cited-by is an optional service
