At Crossref and ROR, we develop and run processes that match metadata at scale, creating relationships between millions of entities in the scholarly record. Over the last few years, we’ve spent a lot of time diving into details about metadata matching strategies, evaluation, and integration. It is quite possibly our favourite thing to talk and write about! But sometimes it is good to step back and look at the problem from a wider perspective.
This yearâs public data file is now available, featuring over 156 million metadata records deposited with Crossref through the end of April 2024 from over 19,000 members. A full breakdown of Crossref metadata statistics is available here.
Like last year, you can download all of these records in one go via Academic Torrents or directly from Amazon S3 via the ârequester paysâ method.
Download the file: The torrent download can be initiated here.
Earlier this year, we reported on the roundtable discussion event that we had organised in Frankfurt on the heels of the Frankfurt Book Fair 2023. This event was the second in the series of roundtable events that we are holding with our community to hear from you how we can all work together to preserve the integrity of the scholarly record - you can read more about insights from these events and about ISR in this series of blogs.
Crossref is undertaking a large program, dubbed 'RCFS' (Resourcing Crossref for Future Sustainability) that will initially tackle five specific issues with our fees. We havenât increased any of our fees in nearly two decades, and while weâre still okay financially and do not have a revenue growth goal, we do have inclusion and simplification goals. This report from Research Consulting helped to narrow down the five priority projects for 2024-2025 around these three core goals:
Setting up your iThenticate v2 account MTS integration (admins only)
Documentation Menu
Setting up your iThenticate v2 account MTS integration (admins only)
This section of our documentation is for Similarity Check account administrators who are integrating iThenticate v2 with their Manuscript Submission System (MTS). It explains how administrators need to set up the iThenticate v2 account for their organizations in order to integrate with their MTS.
If you are using iThenticate v1 rather than iThenticate v2, take a look at the section for v1 account administrators.
If you intend to use iThenticate v2 directly in the browser (and not through an integration with your Manuscript Submission System (MTS) please skip to the section on setting up iThenticate v2 for browser users for iThenticate administrators.
Your personal administrator account in iThenticate v2
Once Turnitin has enabled iThenticate v2 for your organization, the main editorial contact provided on your application form will become the iThenticate account administrator.
You will receive an email from Turnitin with a link to set your credentials. The email will look like this:
Click on the blue âSet up my accountâ button at the bottom of the email. This will bring you to a page which looks something like this:
Fill out your username and password, and donât forget to tick to agree to the terms and conditions. You will then arrive at your new iThenticate v2 account.
How do you know if youâre an account administrator?
hen you are logged in to iThenticate, what tabs can you see?
If you’re using iThenticate v2, you will only be able to see Users on the menu if you’re an account administrator.
If you’re using iThenticate v2, you will only be able to see Users on the menu if you’re an account administrator.
So if you can’t see Manage Users or Users, youâre not an account administrator, and you can just read the user instructions for iThenticate v2 on the Turnitin website.
Updating your email address, username or password in the future
If you need to change your personal email address, username or password in the future, you can find instructions on the Turnitin website.
If you forgot your password and have never signed into your new v2 account, you’ll need to reach out to Crossref’s support to have your password resent to you from Turnitin.
If you’ve already signed into your v2 account, but can’t remember your password, you can simply use the Forgot Password link on the login screen of your unique v2 website (https://crossref-xxx.turnitin.com, with xxx being your member ID).
