Record Review
Review DOI-related records for ongoing accuracy.
DOI METADATA MANAGEMENT
Metadata Stewardship
Ongoing management of accurate and consistent DOI-related scholarly metadata.
← Back to CrossrefScholarly metadata should be treated as an ongoing publishing asset. Once a publication record exists, its associated information may need attention as the publishing environment develops.
GEST supports metadata stewardship by helping publishers maintain consistency between publication information and associated DOI-related records. This includes understanding what information is represented and how it should be maintained.
Stewardship also means recognising that metadata quality is a continuing responsibility. Corrections, publication updates and legitimate changes may require review of the associated record.
A structured stewardship approach gives publishing teams a clearer framework for maintaining reliable scholarly information over time rather than treating metadata as something that is completed only once.
