CrossRef DOIs for Book Publishers

1. CrossRef DOIs for Book Publishers Carol Anne Meyer, CrossRef @meyercarol @CrossRefNews AAUP CrossRef Books Interest Group 23 June 2014

2. Today’s Agenda • What are DOIs? • IDF, Registration Agencies, and CrossRef • Best Practices for CrossRef book DOIs • Linking to and from books • Assigning CrossRef DOIs to books • Finding book DOIs • ISSNs and ISBNs for books & series • What’s next?

3. Source: pasukaru76 from Flickr What is a DOI? Digital Object Identifier

4. It is alphanumeric

5. It uniquely identifies content It is unique

6. It has two parts

7. Creating a DOI Suffix:Keep it short and simple 10.1632/074069503X85526 10.5664/sleep.1000 10.3183/NPPRJ-1986-01-03-p004-013 10.3103/S0005105507050032 10.4260/BJFT20094508 Allowed characters: "a-z", "A-Z", "0-9" and "-._;()/” More info: Establishing a Sufix Pattern

8. To a reader, it looks like a link

9. The DOI is also an ISO standard

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

11. DOI-enabled linking

13. It prevents this

14. It is a digital identifier of a digital or physical object

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

16. Some DOIs are not CrossRef DOIs • Other Registration Agencies have assigned DOIs to books for supply chain purposes, i.e. the ISBN-A (assigned by mEDRA) • More information is available here: http://www.crossref.org/06members/otherdoifaq.html

17. So, what is the relationship between an RA and the IDF?

18. International DOI Foundation (IDF) • Oversees central DOI System • Promotes DOI as a standard • Provides organizational infrastructure that ensures persistence and interoperability 18

19. IDF Registration Agencies (RAs) CrossRef ISTIC DataCite DOI OPOCE mEDRA EIDR Japan Link Center (JaLC) Bowker Airiti CNKI Publications Office of the European Union (OP)

20. CrossRef is the largest RA, but others are growing

21. Handle-DOI-CrossRef relationship Handle general-purpose naming service Requires customized solution DOI organizational structure for persistence CrossRef programmatic linking and discovery service Easy for publisher to automate

22. DOIs for scholarly content • Develops and maintains • the DOI standard • Develops and maintains the • Handle system upon which • the DOI executes CrossRef/DOI Community

23. What Does CrossRef Do? • Provides technology infrastructure for linking Registers DOIs with the Handle System Provides discoverability services for those DOIs • Provides business infrastructure for linking One agreement with CrossRef is a linking agreement with all CrossRef publishers

25. Members need to make long-term archiving arrangements CLOCKSS: http://clockss.org Portico: http://www.portico.org KoninklijkeBibliotheek / National Library of the Netherlands: http://www.kb.nl/

26. ? Why do publishers join CrossRef? • To get persistent identifiers for their content • To drive more traffic to their content • To turn references into hyperlinks • To pull in cited-by links (who cites this?) to get more traffic • Participate in other collaborative services (CrossCheck, CrossMark)

27. It’s all about discoverability

28. provides different services than other RAs • Reference linking • Cited-by linking • CrossRef Metadata Service feeds to Affiliates • CrossCheck plagiarism screening • CrossMark update identification service Powered by iThenticate

29. Where do people discover CrossRef DOIs? • Scholarly References • Abstracting & Indexing services • Reference management tools • Search engines • Aggregated reference products • Online library catalogs (i.e. WorldCat)

30. Why publishers assign CrossRef DOIs to books • Persistent linking---books interlink with journal articles and other scholarly content • Inbound links drive traffic; • Outbound links add value and utility to readers • CrossRef Book DOIs can resolve to information on purchasing -- for both print and online books • Access/authentication remain under publisher control

32. The Numbers • 214 publishers deposit book content at CrossRef • 414,600 book titles • 7,031,461 total book DOIs (Includes chapters and reference entries)

33. membership • Represents 76 countries 33

34. CrossRef Book DOI deposits have been growing rapidly

35. 7 million book DOIs out of 63 million CrossRef DOIs http://crossref.org/06members/53status.html

36. Largest CrossRef Book Publishers • Springer-Verlag • Smithsonian Institution (Biodiversity Heritage Library) • Cambridge University Press • Elsevier • Wiley Blackwell • Nature Publishing Group • Oxford University Press (OUP) • CRC Press • World Bank • Walter de Gruyter • American Psychological Association (APA) • World Scientific • Brill Academic Publishers • IGI Global • ASTM International • American Chemical Society (ACS) • Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishing • MBLWHOI Library • Emerald (MCB UP ) • Woodhead Publishing • Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Texas • American Mathematical Society (AMS). • American Geophysical Union (AGU) • Sage Publications • Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics • Netbiblo See http://crossref.org/06members/51depositorB.html for complete list

42. Best Practices Book DOIs http://www.crossref.org/06members/best_practices_for_books.html

43. Best PracticesAssigning, linking and CrossRef DOI use • Deposit 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.

44. The future is now: Cited-by Linking for books

45. Best PracticesUpdates and Versions • Major version – updates affect interpretation. Publisher notifies readers that content has changed. • new editions • errata • corrigenda • Minor version – unlikely to affect interpretation. No publisher notification.

46. Best PracticesUpdates and Versions • Assign new CrossRef DOIs 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 Multiple Resolution to associate one CrossRef DOI with multiple URLs, i.e. for electronic formats or multiple hosting platforms.

47. Notifying readers of new editions • CrossMark Update Identification Service http://www.crossref.org/crossmark/
