Managing Changes to Content Susan contact@relawanjurnal.id

1. Managing
changes to
content

2. Why is it important to update content?
• Readers need to know that they can trust that they
can use the research
• Publishers and journals are the authority on this
• Not bad/negative to update works - it helps to
maintain the scholarly record - this is an important
job for publishers to do

3. What’s the
problem?

4. Updates shown
in different
ways

8. It’s good to see
updates in a consistent
way

9. On HTML and
PDF

10. Solution: Crossmark
• An embedded button for HTML and PDF that, when
clicked, shows the researcher publication information that
a publisher chooses to include
• A great way to show users extra or updated information
about the content they’re viewing so that they can trust it
• The information stays with the article and can be
accessed even away from the publisher site
• Machine-readable metadata available via the Crossref
REST API

15. The Stats
• Nearly 500 publishers depositing Crossmark
metadata
• For over 5m DOIs
• Around 1% are updates (so even more important that
they’re flagged!)
• Over 1600 of the updates are retractions

• Funding data
• ORCIDs
• License information
• Clinical trial information
• Other information (up to the publisher)

20. Key Takeaways

and changes to researchers
• The more metadata you register the richer & more
useful your content becomes
