Data Easy identification = easy discovery = easy to cite Ensure information meets basic industry standards ISSN DOI MARC OAI-PMH Share appropriate level of information with partners Metadata vs Full text
10
Sharing data: file transfer CSV file – key metadata elements Title ISSN Dates URL etc FTP – file transfer protocol – sharing files between systems www.uksg.org/kbart
11
Sharing data: harvesting API – application programming interface Back door to your content – machine-to- machine Authorised software programs can take a structured copy of your data
12
Sharing data: crawling Front end “scraping” of your web content Not structured data – just a record of all the words in each document Set up as you would an institutional subscriber (IP access to full text) Speeds up searching of your content on other sites
13
Quality Popular subject tools like PubMed and Web of Science are selective based on things like scientific quality editorial quality production quality citation history Citations are also important directly – users following references to find content impact factor calculations
14
Quality: internal Transparent, rigorous processes Article selection Peer review Error correction Retractions (etc) ‒ Council of Science Editors “Editorial Policy Statements” Ethical accountability Committee On Publication Ethics (COPE) Guidelines
15
Quality: external Winning the competition for the best authors identify highly-cited / influential authors sort them into segments research contact info roll out integrated, cross-channel campaign
16
