Reliable information resources are key for a shared understanding of the impact of metadata across the complex research lifecycle.
The State of Scholarly Metadata: 2023 outlines the current state of open scholarly communications based on dozens of interviews with key community members.
Recently, CCC’s Jamie Carmichael hosted an interactive webinar to share insights from the report about the complexities and challenges in metadata management across the research lifecycle.
“There is renewed focus on metadata and persistent identifiers, or PIDs, as an essential component of a vibrant industry,” she said. “In embarking on our study of metadata management, it’s become clear that a commitment to improving data quality from the policy level down to editorial system configurations will help facilitate the transition to Open Access.”
Deni Auclair, President, Media Growth Strategies, who collaborated on the report, joined Carmichael for the discussion, along with research and publishing leaders Randy Townsend, President, Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP); Ana Heredia, Ph.D., Sr. Associate, Latin America, with Maverick Publishing Specialists; and Wolfgang Mayer, Head of E-Resource Management, University of Vienna.
