Identifier Metadata

Persistent identifiers provide an important connection between scholarly publications and their long-term digital records. Accurate identifier metadata helps ensure that the identifier is associated with the correct publication and supporting bibliographic information.

GEST supports identifier-related metadata workflows as part of the wider scholarly publishing infrastructure. Identifier information can be prepared, checked and maintained alongside publication and metadata operations.

Identifier metadata may need to remain connected with article titles, authors, publication information, landing pages and other related records. Maintaining these relationships helps create a more dependable scholarly record.

Identifier workflows also continue after initial registration. Corrections, publication updates and changes to digital destinations may require controlled maintenance of the associated metadata.
