Abstract

Abstract Crossref is an official digital object identifier registration agency launched in 2000 as a joint effort between publishers to allow persistent cross-publisher citation linking in online academic journals. Our study explores the coverage of Crossref for tracking literature in the arts and humanities, which usually has a national or regional focus and targets domestic audiences. An analysis of the coverage of ERIH PLUS journals shows that Crossref indexes more sources than Scopus and includes additional journals from Eastern and Southern Europe and the Global South. Crossref limitations arise when analyzing the amount of metadata deposited by publishers. Just two-thirds of the journals deposit abstracts and ORCIDs and around a third deposit affiliations. The level of metadata completion for individual articles is lower, with major differences depending on the language of the document. Just half of the journals actually deposit references. As a result, Scopus retrieves more citations than Crossref, except for publications in German and French. Crossref represents a promising bibliographic discovery tool in the arts and humanities but is in need of improvement regarding the level of metadata completion.

交叉参考作为艺术和人文学科的书目发现工具

摘要Crossref是一家官方数字对象标识符注册机构，成立于2000年，是出版商之间的共同努力，旨在允许在线学术期刊中持续的跨出版商引用链接。我们的研究探索了Crossref在艺术和人文领域追踪文学的覆盖范围，该领域通常以国家或地区为重点，面向国内观众。对ERIH PLUS期刊报道的分析表明，Crossref索引的来源比Scopus多，还包括来自东欧、南欧和全球南方的其他期刊。在分析发布者存放的元数据数量时，会出现交叉引用限制。只有三分之二的期刊存放摘要和ORCID，大约三分之一的期刊存放附属机构。个别文章的元数据完成程度较低，主要差异取决于文档的语言。只有一半的期刊实际上存放了参考文献。因此，Scopus检索的引文比Crossref多，德语和法语出版物除外。Crossref在艺术和人文学科中代表了一种很有前途的书目发现工具，但在元数据完成水平方面需要改进。
