Ongoing technical support for maintenance of DOI-related publication metadata throughout the scholarly record lifecycle.

← Back to Crossref

DOI-related publication metadata can require attention after an initial publishing workflow has been completed. Corrections, resource changes and other legitimate updates can affect the information associated with a scholarly record.

GEST provides a lifecycle-oriented technology approach that helps publishers understand how DOI-related metadata should be reviewed and maintained as publication records evolve.

Ongoing support can also help organisations identify recurring operational issues. Understanding where metadata problems occur can provide opportunities to improve preparation, validation and maintenance workflows.

The objective is to support dependable scholarly records over time. Lifecycle support connects monitoring, review, controlled updates and verification into a practical publishing technology workflow.
