Resolution reports

Resolution reports are sent out via email at the beginning of each month and includes statistics about DOI resolutions from the previous month.  

Resolution reports are sent by default to the business contact provided for your organization, but we can add or change the recipient(s) as needed.  

A separate report is generated for each DOI prefix. The statistics are based on the number of DOI resolutions through the DOI proxy server (https://doi.org/) on a month-by-month basis. These statistics give an indication of the traffic generated by users clicking DOIs.  

The DOI links are largely from links in other publishers' journal references to articles, but they are also from DOI links in secondary databases, links from libraries using DOIs, and even DOIs in used in print versions.

Resolution reports

When a researcher clicks on a DOI link for an article, that counts as one DOI resolution. For example, clicking on https://doi.org/10.1038/nature02426 counts as one resolution to Nature.

No information is captured about who the user is or where they are coming from.

These numbers are not a precise measure of traffic to a publisher's website - cached articles, search engine crawlers not following re-direction, and traffic that is directed to a locally appropriate copy through a library link resolver would be included in these numbers, but would not result in inbound traffic to a website.

Nevertheless, these numbers provide an important measure of the effectiveness of a member's participation in Crossref.

Question: We continue to filter out known search crawlers. This month they accounted for X number of resolutions. What does this mean?

Answer: The resolution reports aim to look actual clicks on a DOI by a human being. There are many search engine crawlers i.e. machines reading publisher sites and generating DOI clicks automatically. We try to remove these computer-generated usage figures from the Crossref report to give each member a clearer picture of how many times readers are coming to their content by clicking on the DOI.

Resolution attempts: how many times someone has clicked on one of your DOIs to try to get to your published content.

Resolution successes: how many times (out of these attempts) the person clicking on the DOI was successfully taken to the piece of content they are looking for e.g. the DOI worked to take them to the journal article, book, conference proceedings.

Ideally you want your resolution successes to be close to your resolution attempts.

Total attempts for all members: this shows the total DOI resolution attempts across all Crossref members, so that each member can see how many people are clicking on DOIs across all 12,000 organizations who register their content with Crossref.

The resolution failure rate is of particular interest as it allows a publisher to compare their failure rate with that of other publisher members. The ideal failure rate is 0% but realistically 2-3% is the norm. Publishers who are new to Crossref or who have created a small number of DOIs may have a high failure percentage (for example, a publisher with 1 failure and 9 successes will have a 10% failure rate).

A .csv file containing a list of all failed DOI resolution attempts for the month is attached to each report. This file should be reviewed to identify problems with both linking and deposits. Any DOIs with a high number of failures should be examined closely. Significant changes in your resolution failure rate should be taken seriously as well.

How to participate

Deposit reference lists with Crossref for your journal
Email member@crossref.org to sign-up
Query Crossref for a list of all DOIs citing a document
Display Cited-by results on your website

No fee - Cited-by is an optional service

Querying for Cited-by links

https://doi.crossref.org

https://support.crossref.org/hc/en-us/articles/214318946-Retrieving-cited-by-matches

Once your account has been enabled for Cited-by, you can then ask, or query Crossref for the articles that we can see that are citing your content. The simplest way to do this is to log into the admin system at doi.crossref.org and enter the DOI that you want to query. This will return a list of the other articles citing it.

For XML users, you can query by uploading XML files to our deposit system and we will return a list of the matched citations. Importantly, if you add the <fl_query alert = “true”>, we’ll let you know if, in future, we see a new match to your content. You can also do HTTP queries. There is more information available via the link on this slide.

You can then display the cited-by results on your website in any format you choose. You should query for new matches or add these when we notify you about these to keep the links up to date.

Updating your metadata

46 of 62

Updating URLs

When/if your journal and the journal articles move to a new website, you need to update your DOIs to point to the new location.

How?

Provide us with a list of your DOIs, plus the new URLs for them
We’ll upload that list to our system and all of your DOIs will be updated to point to a new web address

47 of 62

Updating URLs

It’s a quick process
If you’re not sure of all your DOIs/all those registered against a journal or a prefix, ask support@crossref.org and we can send you a list
Update file should be in this format:

via .csv file

We support deposit of funding and license metadata in .csv format. Deposits are made via the web deposit form. To submit, select the Supplemental Metadata Upload option under data type to upload the file. Enter your login details and email address, then submit. The .csv metadata will be converted to XML and submitted to the Crossref System.

Similarity Check participants may also upload as-crawled URLs as a .csv file.

Resource only deposit

Some metadata updates or additions may be submitted separately from metadata deposits as resource deposits. Resource deposits use the resource-only schema (with the exception of stand-alone components which use the main deposit schema).

Metadata included in a resource deposit is added to the existing metadata record of an item. The resource deposit data does not need to be included in any bibliographic metadata updates. Resource deposit data may also be removed from a record.

Simple text query improvements

What’s changing?

The previous hurdle of having to register your email address simply to return reference links was confusing and unnecessary. We removed it.
We previously limited the number of monthly reference links to 5,000 per email address. Most didn’t reach the limit, but those who did were frustrated by it and/or found ways around it. We want you to match and register as many references as possible, so we removed the monthly limit too.
Many of you with long reference lists found that you were occasionally reaching our limit of 30,000 characters per submission. Once again, we want you to match and register as many references as possible so we removed the character limit altogether and instead are just looking at the number of references per submission. We now provide space for 1,000 references per submission (We checked. The most references we have ever received via the STQ form in one submission was around 750. Thus, we rounded up.).
We did make a change to the backend of the service. We updated the algorithm we use to return reference links. We think it’s an improvement. Let us know how you find it.

@ResearchOrgs

Why ROR?

Currently no open, stakeholder-governed infrastructure for research organization identifiers and associated metadata.
Organization identifiers are needed to uniquely identify the affiliations of researchers and research outputs.

What is ROR?

ROR is a community-led project to develop an open, sustainable, usable, and unique identifier for every research organization in the world.

ROR is a community-led project to develop and open, sustainable, usable, and unique identifier for every research organization in the world.

Why are we doing this? We have made a great deal of progress in scholarly communications in building tools and infrastructure to track and manage and assess different parts and points of the research and publishing process. We have content identifiers in the form of DOIs to associate with articles and datasets and other research outputs. We have people identifiers in the form of ORCID IDs to identify creators and contributors. But we didn’t have a great solution for an organization identifier that could help to enrich and simplify some of this tracking and assessment by making it easier to associate researchers and research outputs with the organizations where they are affiliated. To be fair, there have been some efforts to establish IDs for institutions, but they didn’t quite meet a need that had been articulated for a solution that was truly open and community-driven.
