Best practice: complete metadataBasic citation metadata:

• author(s)• journal title• article title• volume• Issue• page numbers• publication date• book title• chapter title

Additional metadata for maximum benefit:

• references • funder ID and grant number• authenticated ORCID iDs• licenses (embargoes)• full text URL for TDM• CrossMark metadata• abstracts

Crossref is now….

• Metadata source on compliance with funder mandates - Crossref has extended the metadata it collects and its APIs to enable funders, institutions, publishers and researchers to track compliance with mandates

• Solution to the problem of bi-lateral relationships - Funders will need to track outputs from thousands of publishers and publishers need a standard and efficient way to demonstrate conformance to thousands of funders. All spanning disciplines, institutions, geographies and jurisdictions.

Crossref has….

• Updated the metadata it collects to be a central source of standard, authoritative metadata to track outputs of research - it’s NOT just funding information but also licensing and full text links and other information

• Updated the Crossref API (http://api.crossref.org/) so that funders, institutions, publishers and researchers can all use the same metadata to track a wide range of scholarly content

• This only works if publishers supply the appropriate metadata and follow the specified metadata deposit workflows.

Update metadata and URLs

• There are no charges for updates

• Acquire a title from another Crossref member? • DO NOT create new DOIs for existing content
