The most common use for Metadata Manager is to register new DOIs for newly published articles. For the most part, this is a one-time process. You enter the metadata, register your DOI, and success!
But everything doesn’t always go quite as expected. Humans make mistakes, and typos in metadata are bound to happen on occasion, even for the most careful users.
We never charge content registration fees for metadata updates, additions, or corrections, so cost won’t be a barrier to getting the most accurate and thorough metadata possible. And, now, Metadata Manager can make those corrections easier to do.
Vanessa has introduced Crossref metadata. Let’s recap!
Members supply us with a wide range of metadata data including (see slide). In the context of Crossref, metadata is information about publications which we then make available for thousands of other parties to use in the tools and services they provide.
when people look for your content, People search Crossref not by just the DOI, but also by author name, ORCID iD etc. It is helpful to register all authors, not just the first author - more information helps people find your content.
We do charge for some forms of metadata delivery but with some exceptions our metadata is publicly available at no cost -
Our metadata is used by a range of organizations, such as funders who want to identify the research outputs from their funding, repositories and libraries who want to enhance their metadata or register DOIs, data analytics systems, reference managers - anyone who uses scholarly metadata.

if you want to look at your basic metadata, you can use our metadata search interface - it presents a segment of the metadata, not everything, but it lets you know some basics . You can search by DOI or by ISSN, article title, author - it’s a free text search
In metadata Manager, the system will display any errors with a red flag by the respective record(s). *These errors will need to be corrected before the Deposit button is activated.* If there are no errors, the Deposit button will be automatically activated.
The “Review all” feature in Metadata Manager also allows you to do a final check of all the metadata you entered right before you’re about to submit your deposits. So, we also rely on you to evaluate your own accuracy there as well.
If you’re used to using the Web Deposit Form, you know that the redeposit can be a little tedious. For example, if you find that you misspelled an author’s last name, you’d have to manually type in or copy-paste not just the corrected last name, but all of the journal-level, issue-level, and article-level metadata that applies to the article.
Using Metadata Manager, the process is much simpler. The full metadata record is retained or imported and you only need to correct the error itself.
If you find a metadata error in an article which you initially registered in Metadata Manager itself, you can locate the article in one of two ways:
1. Navigate through the list of Accepted articles within a given journal
2. Or, search by article title in the Deposit History
Once you’ve located the relevant article, click on the article title to open the article’s metadata record. From there, you can make the necessary corrections. With the corrections complete, click “Continue” and then “Add to deposit.” After that, the process is exactly the same as depositing a new article.

If you registered an article using the Web Deposit Form, an XML deposit, or the OJS plugin, you can still use Metadata Manager to quickly correct an error. But, first you have to import the article’s metadata into Metadata Manager.
To do this, click into the relevant journal from your Metadata Manager home page. Then, search for the article title using the “Add existing article” search box. Select “Add” next to the article title in the search results, which will import the article’s metadata record into Metadata Manager.
From here, make any necessary corrections and click “Continue” and then “Add to deposit.” Navigate to the “To deposit” tab and “Review all” to ensure that your metadata record is accurate. Then select “Deposit” to finalize your submission. You’ll receive immediate feedback as to whether your metadata deposit was successful or not.
People think Crossref members have a defined set of metadata and that our metadata is complete and fully comprehensive. But that is not exactly the case…
this is metadata in Crossref - maybe we are missing some things from the metadata we collect, it’s still very useful. We give your metadata legs by distributing it widely, but it’s not perfect - there are gaps in what we collect, it’s not comprehensive.This can be because the missing pieces aren’t easily defined, our members have not asked us to support something, or maybe they have and haven’t had the conversation at the right time with the right person
This is the reality for a lot of our members - they aren’t able to send us many chunks of metadata
- they don’t have it
- they can’t afford to send it to us through their vendors
- they don’t recognize the value in sending it to Crossref
But our goal is to collect all relevant metadata in a way that connects a member’s metadata to the larger scholarly comm landscape. We want all members to be able to send us metadata that is connected, standardized, optimized to cite, link, and assess,

Questions?
Perhaps there are no problems with your metadata, and everything is completely accurate. That’s great! But, we encourage our members to submit metadata that is not just accurate, but also as thorough as possible and we are going to talk about that next!
