Help?! Can *you* think of any ways to improve this draft EPUB archival specification? (Nervous as the first step might be to make the PDF within more accessible - do please let us know if you have any trouble!) https://lnkd.in/eaRJd5AQ #accessibility #digitalpreservation #epub

Did you know registering Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for articles via Crossref is one of the most critical steps journal publishers can take to not only create persistent links to their content but also expand its reach? This #JournalTipsTuesday, we're covering some of the many ways journals can harness the full discovery benefits of content registration. Let's get to it! 📂 Archive everything you publish: The persistence of DOI URLs depends on publishers ensuring that they resolve with an active link. That’s why it’s critical for journals to back up all of the content they publish in a persistent archive like Portico from ITHAKA or CLOCKSS. Archiving will ensure your journal content remains available in perpetuity, even if you cease publishing, and it enables Crossref to work with archives to ensure your DOIs continue to resolve to the correct articles. 💯 Keep your DOI metadata current: When registering DOIs via Crossref, journals should aim to include as much rich metadata as possible and submit metadata updates for existing DOI records as needed (e.g., if article details change post publication). Doing so will maximize the metadata linking and discovery benefits of Crossref content deposits. The best way to do this is by producing machine-readable JATS XML metadata in line with Crossref’s requirements and automating DOI registration deposits via an API integration. Service providers like Scholastica can help you here. 🔓 Make your citations open: One of the best steps publishers can take to increase content discoverability, analysis, and linking potential is including open citations/references in article-level metadata. Journals that submit open citations to Crossref are eligible to participate in Crossref Cited-by to show which publications cited their articles. Crossref also automatically adds missing DOIs to the reference metadata of journals participating in Cited-by when possible, enriching them further. 🧗♀️ Keep honing your metadata deposits: It’s essential to think of metadata management and enrichment as an ongoing process and reassess your metadata regularly to identify opportunities for improvement. For Crossref members, the best way to do this is using the Participation Reports tool (or you can try out the beta Crossref Labs Reports version!) to get a birds-eye view of what metadata your journal is depositing with DOIs, the percentage of DOI records with each metadata field, and which metadata fields are missing. We hope you found this overview helpful! Have questions or additional insights?
