CrossRef Workshops, 14 November 2011


Linking To Journals Deterministic matching

Standardized journal titles Numeric elements

Year Volume Page

Author and article title not required Can be completed without fuzzy matching But fuzzy matching

Yields more links Works well because of redundancy


Linking to Non-Journal Items Item types

Books and conference proceedings Reports, working papers, and other extended types

Structured queries Have few numeric fields

Year Sometimes first page

Lack "standardized" names like journals Lack data redundancy to aid fuzzy matching


Structured Non-Journal Queries Queries fail due to:

Title mismatch between reference and metadata Incomplete or incorrect metadata Cross-type match problems

e.g. Confusion between journals and monographic series

The problems: Greater reliance on author name and item title More fuzzy matching required


Introducing Secondary Query New CrossRef feature Added March 2011 Structured query fail-over to author-title query

Same structured query request Add new attribute: <query secondary-

query="author-title"> How it works

If structured query succeeds, return DOI Else try author-title query

So… Why Not Do This All The Time?

Secondary query: Too "fuzzy" with short titles Returns right "match", but wrong work

Test Results Conference Proceedings

~300 test queries 17 DOIs retrieved without secondary-query 35 DOIs retrieved with secondary-query

Books ~1300 test queries

38 DOIs retrieved without secondary-query 53 DOIs retrieved with secondary-query About half pointed to journal publication, not book publication


Secondary Query Risks Short titles return wrong results Journal-weighted deposits favor journal

publication of substantially similar item Is this the "correct" item? Does this DOI answer the researcher's question?


Secondary-query Results Significantly improves non-journal DOI link rate

Especially for conference proceedings

But sometimes incorrect manifestation returned Does this help or hurt researchers?

Secondary query use: editorial policy decision
