In subugoe/hybridmdpackage: Crossref Metadata Compliance

Background

Rich metadata ensure that open access (OA) articles can be found and reused. To manage OA publication fees and negotiate transformative agreements, it is therefore crucial to monitor metadata compliance [@Geschuhn_2017; @Marques_2019; @Borrego_2020].

metacheck lets you automatically check the quality of publisher-provided metadata for OA journal articles. The tool mainly targets libraries and consortia that manage OA publishing funds and negotiate transformative agreements.

metacheck focuses on DOIs from the registration agency Crossref. Crossref is used by all major publishers [@Hendricks_2020]. As a consequence, Crossref is a key data source for leading open access discovery services like Unpaywall [@Piwowar_2018] and open access transparency initiatives like Open APC [@Jahn_2016; @Pieper_2018].

metacheck uses Crossref Metadata Plus. A service-level agreement ensures performant access to the Crossref REST API.

For more details on compliance checking of licensing information in Crossref in the context of OA transformative agreements, see @Voigt_2020.
