15. Best Practices Book DOIs

16. Best PracticesDepositing, linking and CrossRef DOI useDeposit DOIs at the title and chapter/entry level. Add outbound links from references in books. Deposit references from books with CrossRef to enable CrossRef Cited-by Linking.

17. Best PracticesAuthor guidelinesInstruct authors to cite specific chapters and entries using page numbers, chapter/entry titles and CrossRef DOIs.

19. Best PracticesEditorial GuidelinesCopyeditors add page numbers and chapter titles. Use tools in production to correct referencesSimple Text QueryeXtyles® Automated Reference Checking

20. Best PracticesUpdates and VersionsMajor version – updates affect interpretation. Publisher will notify readers that content has changed. E.g.erratacorrigendanew editionsMinor version – unlikely to affect a interpretation. No publisher notification.

21. Signaling Versions of RecordWatch for CrossMark Version of Record Service later this yearhttp://www.crossref.org/crossmark/

22. Best PracticesUpdates and VersionsDo assign new CrossRefDOIs to new major versions or editions of books, chapters and entries. Older versions remain available online with links to the latest version. Do not assign new CrossRefDOIs to minor new versions of books, chapters and entries.Use CrossRef Multiple Resolution where appropriate to enable multiple URLs to be associated with one CrossRef DOI.

23. Best Practices: Citation MatchingBook Title QueriesMinimum query:book title book author book year And as many as possible of these:editor (where appropriate) book title year publisher

24. Best Practices: Citation MatchingChapter or Reference Entry Queries Minimum query:book title book year chapter author first page And as many as possible of these:editor (where appropriate) book title year publisher chapter author (where appropriate) chapter title chapter first page
