Nov 9th - New Webinar: Crossref for Open Access Publishers

April Ondis – 2015 October 19

In Open AccessWebinars

Register for our webinar to learn best practices for depositing metadata and ways to help with the dissemination and discoverability of OA content.

New Crossref services are being developed that have particular application to OA publishers. Did you know that our upcoming DOI Event Tracker service was inspired by a group of OASPA publishers asking if there was a way to centrally support the gathering of data that could be analyzed as altmetrics?

A large number of Crossref members classify their content as Open Access, and we’ve been thinking about how our infrastructure can support and communicate this.  In many ways, it already does:

• Crossref supports the deposit of license and funding information in the DOI metadata.
• Crossref’s Crossmark Service is useful to OA publishers who need to have the means to update info about their content, no matter where it sits.
• Crossref’s APIs allow publishers to make it easier for researchers to mine full-text content.
