Description
Our speaker will present this collaborative linking service which allows a researcher to click on a reference citation in a journal and immediately access the cited article.
To date, there are 102 publishers participating in CrossRef, accounting for over 5,741 journals with over 4 million article records in the database. There are also a number of affiliates , library affiliates and associated organizations participating in CrossRef.
CrossRef functions as a sort of digital switchboard. It holds no full text content, but rather effects linkages through Digital Object Identifiers (DOI), which are tagged to article metadata supplied by the participating publishers. A researcher clicking on a link will be connected to a page on the publisher's website showing a full bibliographical citation of the article, and, in most cases, the abstract as well. The reader can then access the full text article through the appropriate mechanism.
