Presentation Title
APIing DOIs
Keywords
Crossref, DOI assignment, API, FreeCite
Program Description
Joining Crossref gives library publishers the opportunity to assign DOIs to scholarly content, but requires in turn the use of DOIs with any applicable reference in a published work. Identifying these DOIs can be time-consuming. Presented here is one library's attempt to automate DOI identification and assignment, using APIs from Crossref and FreeCite, Brown University's citation parser, along with XSLT and DigitalCommons's batch upload XML schema.
