Editor's Notes
- Thank you to the person who introduced me) and to Ms. Helen Zhang for inviting me to your conference. I have already learned so much this morning. This is my first trip to Hangzhou, so I feel especially honored to be here to represent both CrossRef and the Society for Scholarly Publishing.
- Today I will give you an introduction to CrossRef, focusing on our DOI reference linking service, and then introducing CrossCheck for plagiarism screening, and CrossMark for identfying updates and for providing additional valuable data about scholarly content. Then I will finish with a very brief summary of the Society for Scholarly Publishing annual meeting. I work for CrossRef for money, but I work for SSP for love.
- Libraries can submit metadata queries to find DOIs or submit DOIs to find out metadata. Libraries also become CrossRef affiliates to enable their link resolvers to direct users to the appropriate copy (ie locally accessible) of a document.
- Affiliates can be several types: CrossRef Metadata Services, Query affiliates (similar to libraries), or CrossRef Service Providers (CSP). We also have sponsors—sponsoring members and sponsoring entities that undertake a member obligations.
- To explain briefly the background of CrossRef’s formation I want to take a look at a set of standard journal article references , which are a crucial component of scholarly communications. Journals preserve the scholarly record – and function as the minutes of science. In the 1990s publishers started signing bilateral linking agreements with each other and started using URLs to link to one another. It was hard. You had to figure out the publisher, keep track of URL and metadata schemes, & keep it all up to date.
- For scholarly journal publishersto have links break is not a good thing. It makes readers unhappy, and they complain.
- When a researcher is looking for high quality scholarly content you don’t want to retrieve the 404 - page not found error. Having this happen undermines trust in the scholarly system and in scholarly publishers.
- publishers cannot accomplish alone—they require collaboration So at the end of 1999 a group of publishers got together and decided to collaborate to solve the problem and CrossRef was set up as a strategic org - CrossRef is a non-profit membership association of publishers with all members being equal. We were founded to provide services to publishers that are best achieved collaboratively - or doing those things that publishers can’t do on their own. We are run by and for publishers and we include all types of publishers. Network!
- Reference linking includes multiple content types, backfiles
- uniquely identify/name a piece of electronic content serve as a stable, persistent link to that content’s location on the web A DOI persists throughout changes in copyright ownership or location because it’s just a name used to look up an address in an updateable directory
- obligations of membership = quid pro quo - level playing field.
- An important obligation is to do outbound refernce linking so that each publishers is both providing traffic to other publishers and getting traffic from publishers.
- Multiple resolution--the DOI gives the user a choice of which links to follow when the content is hosted on more than one system. This requires coordination between the publisher and all platforms..
- End user clicks -driving traffic to publisher content each month.
- Here’s an example from Springer of Cited-by links in the Journal of Zheijiang University SCIENCE B. 17 items cite this article, which is about the anticancer effects of Chinese herbal medicine. The page displays the article that cites this paper, and the number of citations that THAT article has.
- The Springer citation functionality is a little different than cited-by linking displayed on other journals. In the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the cited-by articles are displayed on the right hand side. Cited by linking gives readers more ways to browse content, and it brings additional traffic to publisher sites.
- The first thing that I always say when I talk about CrossCheck is that although we call it a plagiarism detection service, it doesn’t actually detect plagiarism.
- Here’s another definition of plagiarism, this time from an online dictionary. I won’t read this one out to you, but the last sentence is where I would ask you to focus - plagiarism is usually distinguished from imitation by its dishonest intention.
- A machine cannot detect plagiarism. A machine can look at written text and tell you where it matches other written text, but it cannot tell you why that text matches, and this is critical. It takes a human being with a certain amount of domain expertise to analyse the results of any computer programme in order to determine the intent of the author or authors.
- There are legitimate reasons why text might be the same in two documents. Here’s a bibliography section which will almost-certainly be repeated in numerous places. A mathematical proof might be repeated in order to be extended, and so on... a human can spot some of these examples very easily whereas a piece of software cannot.
- So let’s take a look at how CrossCheck actually works by starting with a simple overview. You have a manuscript or document that you want to check for originality. You submit it to the CrossCheck system, where it is broken down and analysed, then compared against a database of other scholarly publications. Wherever overlapping or similar passages of text are found, they are highlighted in a report for an editor to take a look at.
- To effectively screen research material you need to compare it with other research material, and most of that is in publications that are on many different publisher platforms and often behind access control. So even if you find a match using Google Scholar you will still need to go to the publisher’s website to see the abstract, which may or may not contain the matching text. If it doesn’t, you need to get access to the full text, which may or may not involve paying, and so on and so forth.
- And this is precisely what we’ve done - we’ve facilitated the indexing of full text content from CrossRef publishers who join CrossCheck, and with iParadigms have put this content into a database to screen documents against.
- So to look at the process in a little more detail: you submit your manuscript to the iThenticate system, and it is by default checked against three databases of content. It is checked against web content - iThenticate indexes web pages in much the same way as a search engine, but with the added advantage that they keep an archive of web pages going back eight years. The manuscript is checked against the CrossCheck database, which contains the content from all of the participating CrossCheck publishers. And it’s also checked against a growing repository of online and offline content that iThenticate is gathering and indexing, including datbases from Gale and Ebsco, and sites such as PubMed and Arxiv.org. And as before, matches retrieved by comparison with these databases are pulled into a report for an editor to examine in more detail.
- This is the screen that you see when you’ve uploaded one or more manuscripts to iThenticate. You can see the article titles on the left, author and date processed on the right. The Report column with the square buttons beneath tells you what percentage of text within the manuscript has been found to match text in other documents. Explain highlighting and thresholds.
- And you get to this, which is the first of four different report manipulations available - this one is called the Similarity Report: Manuscript on left, matches on right from highest to lowest.

- Here you can see the two matching pieces of content side by side: Glance feature, full source view Importantly - entire article or piece of content on the right. Scroll up and down and have opportunity to establish the context. This is another benefit of using CrossCheck. We negotiated with iThenticate to allow users to see the complete article where there is matching text. If you use the commercial ithenticate product directly you only see snippets of text either side of the match. But we feel that it’s important for publishers and editors to be able to see more than that.
- You might have spotted in the previous examples that the technology isn’t just looking for word for word matches. The way that it breaks the text down allows it to spot passages of text with word substitutions, so it is looking for similar as well as identical text. In this example you can see that some of the words have been very subtly substituted or moved but the technology still picks them up.
- Limitations: photos or images graphs and tables formulae Text only
- Also copy and paste
- Three obvious places where you might want to do plagiarism screening 1) On submission 2) At some defined point in the review and editorial process - - and obviously this is a massive over-simplification not in the least because this process varies widely form publisher to publisher 3) Just prior to acceptance And we have CrossCheck members taking each of these approaches - trend moving towards on submission.
- Cost of processing manuscript goes up as you go through the process - if you find a problem later in the process it’s probably going to cost you more to deal with it than if you spot it on submission, where there’s the possibility of a simple rejection with advice on correcting errors. However, number of manuscripts goes down as you go through the process, so less direct cost of screening documents - there is a per-document fee for checking manuscripts, albeit a fairly small one starting at 75 cents per doc.
- The main manuscript tracking systems have all integrated or are in the process of integrating iThenticate so that you can submit manuscripts directly as part of your existing workflow... ...Important to note that none of these systems are dictating when in the process you do the check - they have all left it very open and up to the publisher or user to decide at which point the checking should be done.
- The progress of CrossCheck to date. Very comprehensive database - can see list of titles on our website.
- This graph shows how many documents have been run through iThenticate month on month. As you can see, back atthis last year there were relatively few being screened, but over the past 12 months things have started to pick up and the numbers are rising each month. This is because it took some time to get things up and running with the indexing in the first year or so of the project, and there was the issue of critical mass too - when the database was still quite small publishers weren’t getting any matches. But as more publishers have run pilots with their titles and starting using iThenticate as a production service we’re seeing numbers really start to climb, and I expect these numbers to continue to rise quite dramatically over the coming months.
- The iThenticate software can compare two documents in the same language for similarity, but it cannot yet translate languages to compare them.
- I’d just like to remind you that if you are using CrossCheck you’re welcome to - in fact we would encourage you to let your authors and readers know that you are screening for originality. We have CrossCheck logos that you can download from our website to put on your journals and submission pages to provide some reassurance to honest authors and some warning to the less honest...

- When you are fairly certain you’ve got a case of plagiarism on your hands, there are a number of places that offer advice on how to deal with it. The Office of Research integrity has advice on handling misconduct, although obviously it’s quite US-centric. The committee on publication ethics - COPE - has some very useful flowcharts that I would recommend taking a look at if you’re not already familiar with them. And the CSE white paper on Promoting Integrity in Scientific Journal Publishing has a section on Responding to Research Misconduct.
- This is a partial list of member publishers - now that we’re over 450 it’s hard to fit them on one page and still make them readable but you can see the complete list on the CrossRef website so don’t strain your eyes trying to read this one. Just to emphasise really that they are publishers of all sizes, of multiple nationalities and representing many disciplines.
- Now I’d like to introduce and explain the CrossMark service from CrossRef.
- It’s easy to think that once something is published that’s it - the version of record is out there and that’s how it’ll stay. But we know it’s not as simple as that....
- Many things can happen to content after it has been published. It can be corrected, enhanced, retracted or even withdrawn, and of course it’s the publisher’s responsibility to apply these corrections and updates to the literature that they publish.
- So two main points that CrossMark is addressing - First: it’s time for the idea of the “final version” of an article to rest in peace. There is no final version for content. Readers, and often publishers themselves, have a mindset that once the “version of record” is published that’s the end of the story and the end of the publisher’s role. In all the recent debates about whether and how scholarly publishers add value I didn’t see any mention of the role publishers have in providing ongoing maintenance and stewardship of content.
- and when this content changes readers need to know that it has changed. It could be that an update adds extra data or background information to an article, but it could potentially be more serious, with corrections to information that could alter follow-on research or even treatment. So it’s important that this information gets out there.
- And it’s also important that this information is disseminated effectively so that as many readers as possible are aware of the changes. With e-publications we’ve moved beyond notices on bulletin boards, but there are still some problems that need addressing.
- To determine the accessibility of retracted articles residing on non-publisher websites and in personal libraries. Non-publisher websites provided 321 publicly accessible copies for 289 retracted articles: 304 (95%) copies were the publisher' versions, and 13 (4%) were final manuscripts. PubMed Central had 138 (43%) copies; educational websites 94 (29%); commercial websites 24 (7%); advocacy websites 16 (5%); and institutional repositories 10 (3%). Just 15 (5%) full-article views included a retraction statement. Personal Mendeley libraries contained records for 1,340 (75%) retracted articles, shared by 3.4 users, on average.
- One of these is consistency. This article in Science has a correction. It’s flagged over here on the left of the abstract in red text so it’s pretty easy to spot.
- But this one is a bit more subtle. There’s nothing in the left of right hand columns, but instead this publisher has chosen to site the correction up at the top of the article here.
- And what about this one? Nothing obvious at the top of the page, or in the tool bars on the right...
- ...but if you scroll down the page a bit here’s a correction located under the “related articles” heading.
- And then you have content that’s being held offline - here’s the PDF of the article we were just looking at. If you’ve downloaded this to your laptop or device you’ve got absolutely no means to know that there’s a correction that has been issued for this article. You could go back to look at it weeks or months later and you’d be completely oblivious to any updates or changes in its status.
- Which leads to a second problem, which is that there is often more than one version of an article available. Here we have an article from the Journal of Surgical Research which was retracted because it was found to contain plagiarised material. On the publisher’s site it’s flagged pretty clearly as retracted up here in the article title...
- If you search for this article in Google Scholar, however, the publisher’s site isn’t the first to appear - in fact it’s the fourth listing
- The first result is an information sharing site for doctors where someone has posted the abstract, and here there’s no mention of the retraction....
- The second is PubMed, and the retraction has made it on to the Pub Med copy, although it’s not as obvious as it is on the publisher’s site - it’s not part of the article title but a separate link below.
- But what if you’d come across the abstract somewhere else? Maybe through CiteULike, where again there’s no mention of the retraction.
- Or there could well be a copy in the author’s institutional repository... With all of these options there’s a reasonable chance that the reader isn’t necessarily going to see the correction or retraction that the publisher has issued. Also PDF problem.
- These are all problems that we’re looking to address by launching CrossMark
- So CrossMark. At its simplest it’s a logo that publishers will apply to content that they publish. When a reader clicks on the logo they will quickly and easily be able to tell: The best way to explain it is to show some examples.
- I’ll start with the most useful common scenario. We’re looking at a PDF from the Journal of Applied Crystallography. This came from my hard drive. Or I downloaded it from the author’s web site. Or was it my university’s institutional repository? Maybe somebody emailed me a copy? No, wait, I think this was from my Mendeley account. And when was that? At any rate, you see there is a CrossMark logo in the upper left corner. Providing I am online, when I click on the logo it will pop up a webpage...
- with a pop-up dialogue box giving the latest status. This is what most people will see - confirmation that the document is up to date, the CrossRef DOI link that will always point to the publisher-maintained copy, and a link to the publisher’s policies. There are no updates. This time.... (click) And the box also tells the reader that Future updates - if any - will be listed below, so getting them used to the idea that if changes happen, this is where they can find them. But what if there had been a correction?
- Of course, these work the same way on publisher’s HTML pages. (Click) You see a real article from The Proceedings of The Royal Society B on Royal Society’s website. The CrossMark logo appears just above the article title here.
- Rolling your mouse over the logo brings up a text box that says Click to get updates and verify authenticity. And then when you click on the logo
- You see the CrossMark dialog box. And this is what most people will see - confirmation that the document is up to date, the CrossRef DOI link that will always point to the publisher-maintained copy, and a link to the publisher’s policies. The box also tells the reader that Future updates - if any - will be listed below, so getting them used to the idea that if changes happen, this is where they can find them.
- The second example is of a corrected article from the International Union of Crystallographers. Here, clicking on the logo brings up the same CrossMark dialog box...
- ..but with information that alerts the reader to changes. Updates are available for this document. It says that there is a correction and gives a link to the correction.
- You may have noticed in that previous example that there is an additional tab appearing in the dialogue box at the top here - the record tab.
- This is where you can show additional metadata about the piece of content if you choose to do so. The publisher decides what to put here and can use these fields to define publication practices. You don’t have to populate this tab at all if you prefer not to, and if you don’t supply an additional metadata the tab simply won’t show. The fields are defined and labelled by the publisher, and there can be as many or as few as you choose. This particular data from another of our pilot participants, the International Union of Crystallography, and you can see that they are sharing some really useful information on the copyright, review process and publication history. Also useful for FundRef!
- These are a few of the other possible pieces of information that have come up when talking with publishers. CrossRef isn’t going to advise on what publishers should display in the record box, but we expect that communities of interest may develop guidelines or best practices within different areas. There’s already a group of publishers discussing how best to display funding and grant information, for example.
- Microsoft Academic Search implemented CrossMark on their platform in early February and are displaying the CrossMark logo on relevant content within their index. This is a useful development in terms of being able to publicise CrossMark to affiliates and show ways in which the CrossMark data can be used to identify the publisher version of a piece of content. Inera’s eXstyles have also just announced that they’re supporting CrossMark. If you’re using that tool for your references, eXtyles will now provide a warning if a reference has a CrossMark record that indicates it has been “retracted,” “withdrawn,” or “removed.”
- The first thing is that you have to be a CrossRef member in good standing. But CrossMark is an optional service, so there is no requirement for CrossRef members to participate. CrossMarks can be assigned to any piece of content that has a CrossRef DOI. This can include ahead-of-print or early release copies that the publisher has made available and is committing to maintaining. CrossMarks should not be applied to author’s copies or any other pre-print that is outside of the publisher’s control and will not be maintained. Sp by joining CrossMark you are agreeing to maintain your published content, and to keep it’s associated CrossMark metadata up to date. We also have some guidelines on displaying the CrossMark logo.
- An assertion is a piece of optional publication record data
