Carol Anne Meyer describes why it is a good idea to assign DOIs to scholarly books, and how to go about it.

1. CrossRef DOIs for eBooks: Making it easier for readers to find your stuff Carol Anne Meyer CrossRef Webinar 17 May 2011

2. Today’s Agenda Why assign CrossRefDOIs to books? Books now registered in CrossRef Best Practices for CrossRef Book DOIs DOI syntax for books Linking to and from books Depositing CrossRefDOIs& metadata for books Querying for books ISSNs and ISBNs for books & series How much? What’s next?

3. Why assign CrossRef DOIs to books Or, How does it help readers find my stuff? Persistent linking -- books interlink with other journal articles and other scholarly content Inbound links drive traffic; outbound links add value and utility CrossRef Books DOIs can resolve to information on purchasing -- for both print and online books Access/authentication remain under publisher control

4. 112 publishers deposit book content at CrossRef 152,898 book titles deposited 3,117,135 book DOIs (includes chapters and reference entries) The Numbers

5. Did you know… 50 million DOIs are resolved every month?

7. Book Chapters

9. …titles and book chapter response pages

10. …book chapters

11. …title level response page for print and e-books

12. …entries in reference works

13. 3 million book DOIs out of 47 million CrossRef DOIs http://crossref.org/06members/53status.html

14. Book DOI deposits have been growing rapidly

15. Best Practices Book DOIs

16. Best PracticesDepositing, linking and CrossRef DOI use Deposit DOIs at the title and chapter/entry level. Add outbound links from references in books. Deposit references from books with CrossRef to enable CrossRef Cited-by Linking.

17. Best PracticesAuthor guidelines Instruct authors to cite specific chapters and entries using page numbers, chapter/entry titles and CrossRef DOIs.

19. Best PracticesEditorial Guidelines Copyeditors add page numbers and chapter titles. Use tools in production to correct references Simple Text Query eXtyles® Automated Reference Checking

20. Best PracticesUpdates and Versions Major version – updates affect interpretation. Publisher will notify readers that content has changed. E.g. errata corrigenda new editions Minor version – unlikely to affect a interpretation. No publisher notification.

21. Signaling Versions of Record Watch for CrossMark Version of Record Service later this year http://www.crossref.org/crossmark/

22. Best PracticesUpdates and Versions Do assign new CrossRefDOIs to new major versions or editions of books, chapters and entries. Older versions remain available online with links to the latest version. Do not assign new CrossRefDOIs to minor new versions of books, chapters and entries. Use CrossRef Multiple Resolution where appropriate to enable multiple URLs to be associated with one CrossRef DOI.

23. Best Practices: Citation MatchingBook Title Queries Minimum query: book title book author book year And as many as possible of these: editor (where appropriate) book title year publisher

24. Best Practices: Citation MatchingChapter or Reference Entry Queries Minimum query: book title book year chapter author first page And as many as possible of these: editor (where appropriate) book title year publisher chapter author (where appropriate) chapter title chapter first page

26. DOI syntax

27. DOI Suffixes: Use ISBN for Book Titles

29. Displaying CrossRef DOIs in Book Citations The DOI should appear at the end of the reference The DOI should be encoded as a hyperlink Example: Corrigan, John. Religion and Emotion - Approaches and Interpretations. New York: Oxford University Press, 2004. Oxford Scholarship Online. Oxford University Press. 2005.http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/0195166248.001.0001 Note: This is a change from the previous format doi:10.1093/0195166248.001.0001

30. Style Manuals Provide the DOI, if one has been assigned to the content…. Use this format for the DOI in references: doi:xxxxxx Section 6.32 Providing Publication Data for Electronic Sources Publication Manual of the APA, page 191.

34. Multiple resolution

36. There are DOIs that are not CrossRefDOIs Other Registration Agencies have assigned DOIs to books for supply chain purposes. More information is available here: http://www.crossref.org/06members/otherdoifaq.html

37. Multi-linking DOIs from Bowker

39. DepositingCrossRef Book DOIs Metadata required for book DOI registration is described in the schema, sections 6-8 http://www.crossref.org/schema/deposit/crossref4.3.0.xsd and in the documentation at: http://www.crossref.org/schema/info/CrossRefSchemaDocumentation4.1.0.pdf

40. Steps to deposit Determine the type of information you want to upload. Create the XML file to upload using the CrossRef deposit schema. Verify your XML: http://www.crossref.org/02publishers/parser.html Decide whether you want to upload the file synchronously (manually) or asynchronously (programmatically). Pick the submission mechanism you want to use: CrossRef web interface (synchronous) Java or Perl scripts (asynchronous) CrossRefVBClient Web deposit form Submit the file(s).

41. Book Title Level Metadata Required data includes: Type: edited book, reference, monograph, or other Title Publisher Publication date ISBN Optional data includes: series title, and series ISSN* volume and edition numbers Book DOI and URL * If you include a series title it must have an ISSN

42. ISSNs& ISBNs in CrossRef Schema ISSNs are assignable to a series title and not book title. ISSN is directly bound to series title and must be present in series ISSN check digit will be verified upon deposit – invalid ISSNs will be rejected Volume is mandatory if series_metadata is present and volume level title is NOT present Titles and ISSNs/ISBNs in deposit must match titles associated with ISSNs/ISBNs in the system New titles will create a title entry in the system – updates/additions to this title must remain consistent Contact support@crossref.org to change titles

43. Chapter Level Metadata Required data includes: Chapter title DOI and URL Optional data: Contributors Pagination Component number

44. Web Deposit Form Manual DOI registration for books System builds XML deposit file http://www.crossref.org/webDeposit/

45. XML deposit Sample XML is available: Monograph: http://www.crossref.org/schema/info/samples/4.3.0_samples/monograph430.xml Series: http://www.crossref.org/schema/info/samples/4.3.0_samples/book_series430.xml

46. Simple-Text Query A freely available, non-XML alternative for reference linking A custom version of Inera’s eXtyles® refXpress parses unstructured references into granular, valid XML and returns any matching DOIs for those references

48. CrossRef Search Plugin

49. The future is now: Cited-by Linking for books

50. How much? 2011 Deposit Fees for Books Current Material Titles: $1.00 Chapters/entries < 250 per title: 25 cents Chapters/entries > 250 per title: 15 cents Chapters/entries > 10,000 items: 12 cents Backfiles All content types: 15 cents More than 1 million records: 12 cents No additional membership fee
