• DOI Assignment and Reference Linking
• Depositing, Linking, and CrossRef DOI Use
• How to Handle Updates and Versions
• Citation Matching
Friday, December 3, 2010

21. DOI Assignment and
Reference Linking
• Maximize reference linking among books,
journals and conference proceedings
• Enhance discovery, visibility, and usage
• Improve functionality for users
• Support development of book citation metrics

22. Depositing, Linking,
and CrossRef DOI Use
• Deposit at the title and chapter/entry level.
• Add outbound links from references in books.
• Deposit references from books to enable CrossRef Cited-by Linking.
• Instruct authors to cite specific chapters and entries using page numbers,
chapter/entry titles and DOIs.
• Update editorial guidelines.
a. Copyeditors add page numbers and chapter titles in book
citations.
b. Use CrossRef tools to check references during production.

23. How to Handle
Updates and Versions
• Assign new CrossRef DOIs to new major versions.
Older versions remain available online with links
to the latest version.
• Do not assign new CrossRef DOIs to minor new
versions.
• Use CrossRef Multiple Resolution to link to book
content hosted on multiple platforms.
Friday, December 3, 2010

24. How to Handle
Updates and Versions
• Major version changes affect the interpretation of
a work.
Publisher notifies readers that content has changed
• Minor version changes unlikely to affect a reader’s
interpretation of the work.
Publisher does not draw attention to the change.
• Publisher distinguishes between major and minor
versions.
