Experiences • Problems linking from NPG products toNature Research titles • NPG journal short titles differed from Medline syntax used by CrossRef • Created pre-query filter. Transforms NPG short titles to Medline syntax for query – problem solved! • AOP DOI registration was too slow via CrossRef • Created end-run process to Handle Server • Changing NPG DOI syntax from completely dumb to internally logical • 10.1038/80132 10.1038/ng732 • Use DOI for all inbound links to NPG products! • Document Delivery Revenue is increasing
Plans • Nature Science Update articles to be deposited and have ref queries built • Inbound links to ELS/EAA • Deposit/Query 28 Specialist Journals in 2002 • Further automate process with Content Management System (CMS)
