Metadata

Our main data sources are CrossRef and BASE. Our own data scheme is relatively close to Citeproc / CrossRef. This gives us the advantage, that—in general—we do not need to ask the user for metadata. This makes a deposit very little effort.

Bibliographic Metadata

For a publication we store the following metadata.

abstract
authors
date (YYYY-MM-DD)
document type
doi
eissn
issn
issue
journal
language
pages
publisher
title
volume

Note however, that we have renamed Citeprocs container-title into journal. This has a historical reason, aiming at first at journal articles.

Document types

We have the following document types:

book
book-chapter
dataset
journal-article
journal-issue
poster
preprint
proceedings
proceedings-article
reference-entry
report
thesis
other

Almost 90 per cent of our deposits are journal articles.

Additional Metadata

In addition to the above metadata we can ship out of the box the following:

depositor information (name, email, orcid)
dewey decimal class
embargo
language (with langdetect)
