Introduction to

Why publishers join CrossRef

• To get persistent IDs for their content
• To drive more traffic to their content
• To turn their references into hyperlinks
• To pull in cited-by links (what cites this?)
• To participate in new collaborative services

From roadblock…to
Easy, reliable
navigation

Outline
• The DOI: what and why?
• CrossRef overview and update
• CrossRef system basics and reports
• CrossRef DOIs in use
• Cited-by linking

“…a homing device for a journal article…”

What is a DOI?

Digital
Object
Identifier

Source: pasukaru76 from Flickr

It uniquely
identifies
content

It serves as a stable link to that
content’s digital location

Now let’s make it actionable in
a browser…

http://dx.doi.org/10.1006/jmpi.1995.0238

DOI suffixes must be

Unique within a prefix

DOI suffixes should be
• Consistent
• Logical
• Easily documented
• Readily implemented

DOI suffixes may be

Also provides the technical
infrastructure
• The DOI for persistence
• Integrates with the OpenURL
• CrossRef & content visibility: When works
are registered in the CrossRef database,
thousands of cross-linkers – publishers,
scholars, intermediaries, and libraries –
automatically pick up links to that content

CrossRef implementation
• Deposit DOIs and metadata to enable
inbound linking
– As soon as content is registered in CrossRef, it
becomes visible for linking by other participants
• Create outbound links from references
by querying the CrossRef metadata
database
– Adds value by improving user experience

Enabling smaller publishers with non-XML
alternatives: Web deposit option

• Manual DOI
registration,
for smaller
publishers
• 
System
builds XML
deposit file

Simple-Text Query
•  A freely available, non-XML
alternative for reference
linking

•  A custom version of Inera’s
eXtyles® refXpress parses
unstructured references into
granular, valid XML and
returns any matching DOIs
for those references

Simple-Text Query
This facility is absolutely amazing, and must
have taken an awful lot of work to function as
effectively as it does. !
The amount of parsing required to break down the
references provided in a non-specific format I
can appreciate is pretty staggering. !
Thank you so much for providing this text query,
which makes finding large-ish quantities of
references so much easier. It is brilliant work.!

What is it?

• A free tool that allows member
publishers to retrieve and
display links to “what cites this
content”

Cited-by links Reference links

Why CrossRef cited-by is different

• CrossRef cited-by allows any member
publisher, large or small, to retrieve
cross-publisher cited-by information and
implement a “what cites this” feature

Participation in CrossRef cited-by

• 106 member publishers participating
• 7,691 journals cited so far
• 72,997,442 cited-by links created to
date

How to participate
• Deposit your
references - they
can be cut&pasted
via the STQ form
• Query for cited-by
links and add them
to your article
homepages; keep
up-to-date

Why add CrossRef Cited-by links?
• Enhances the reader experience
– by making it possible to see and navigate to citing
works
• Why not?
– easy to include references within a normal XML
DOI deposit processor to use the STQ alternative
• The more publishers participate, the more
robust the service becomes

Why add CrossRef cited-by links?

• Gets CrossRef as a whole closer to fulfilling a
key role: helping the academic publishing
community track and preserve the scholarly
citation record
– And isn’t this something best done as a
community-wide endeavor, and not controlled by a
commercial entity?

Thank you!
