This in-depth review builds on an existing body of work to assess and help market participants confront the challenges around low quality metadata and underutilization of persistent identifiers that disrupt various stages of the research lifecycle, including but not limited to the transition to Open Access (OA).</p> </div> <div class="cover__content-right"> <div class="cover__content-right-content"> <p>CCC is sharing this analysis with the scholarly communications community to spark dialogue and drive action. Drawn directly from our research interviews, this living infographic depicts the significant economic and social impact that a fragmented metadata supply chain has today on researchers, institutions, funders, and publishers.</p> <p>Stakeholders recognize that new strategies, inclusive policies, and a robust network of interoperable data and systems are essential for making critical infrastructure improvements. A dedication to data stewardship across each stakeholder group, and the service providers supporting them, will help facilitate a smoother transition to OA while also helping to preserve research integrity, enhance the discoverability of research, power AI systems with trustworthy and FAIR training data with clear provenance, and improve impact measurement. Since the launch of the State of Scholarly Metadata report in 2023, we have updated the report to highlight some exciting initiatives showing that progress is underway.</p> <p>CCC thanks all who have contributed to this project. We look forward to continued collaboration and encourage visitors to leave feedback on our findings.</p> <div style="align-items: center; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <div class="wp-block-button" style="margin-bottom: 10px;"><a class="wp-block-button__link" href="https://www.copyright.com/landing/metadatastudyupdates/" target="_blank">Sign up for updates</a></div> <div class="share" style="align-items: center; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 5px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <strong>Share:</strong> <a class="utility-share" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.copyright.com%2Fstateofmetadata%2F"><img style="display: block;" alt="" aria-hidden="true" class="utility-share__icon" height="32" src="assets/img/share/facebook.svg" width="32" /><span class="screen-reader-text">Share to Facebook</span></a> <a class="utility-share" href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.copyright.com%2Fstateofmetadata%2F&title=The+State+of+Scholarly+Metadata&summary=&source="><img style="display: block;" alt="" aria-hidden="true" class="utility-share__icon" height="32" src="assets/img/share/linkedin.svg" width="32" /><span class="screen-reader-text">Share to LinkedIn</span></a> <a class="utility-share" href="mailto:?&subject=CCC&body=The+State+of+Scholarly+Metadata: https%3A%2F%2Fwww.copyright.com%2Fstateofmetadata%2F"><img style="display: block;" alt="" aria-hidden="true" class="utility-share__icon" height="32" src="assets/img/share/email.svg" width="32" /><span class="screen-reader-text">Share via Email</span></a> </div> </div> <p id="enter-map-secondary"><a href="map.php" class="enter-map" id="enter-map-secondary"> <svg class="enter-map__icon" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="200" height="200" viewBox="0 0 200 200"><g fill="none"><circle class="oval-3" cx="100" cy="100" r="100" fill="#80D4F6" fill-opacity=".2"/><circle class="oval-2" cx="99.5" cy="100.5" r="62.5" fill="#80D4F6" fill-opacity=".3"/><circle class="oval-1" cx="100" cy="100" r="25" fill="#80D4F6"/><path class="chevron" d="M141.835,91.6326 L105.23,52.3252 C102.343,49.2249 97.6603,49.2249 94.7732,52.3252 C91.8861,55.4254 91.8861,60.4535 94.7732,63.5537 L126.146,97.243 L94.7732,130.932 C91.8861,134.032 91.8861,139.06 94.7732,142.161 C97.6603,145.261 102.343,145.261 105.23,142.161 L141.835,102.853 C144.722,99.7608 144.722,94.7329 141.835,91.6326 Z M97.8215,89.2524 L68.7603,56.3618 C65.8401,53.061 61.1103,53.061 58.1901,56.3618 C55.27,59.6626 55.27,65.0173 58.1901,68.3221 L81.9682,95.2325 L58.1901,122.143 C55.27,125.444 55.27,130.802 58.1901,134.103 C61.1103,137.404 65.8401,137.404 68.7603,134.103 L97.8215,101.213 C100.742,97.9118 100.742,92.5572 97.8215,89.2524 Z"/></g></svg> Enter </a></p> </div> <img alt="" class="color-bands" height="171" src="assets/img/data-color-strips.png" srcset="assets/img/data-color-strips.png 1x, assets/img/data-color-strips@2x.png 2x" width="533"> </div> </div> <footer id="cover__footer"> <p>© 2024 Copyright Clearance Center, Inc.</p> </footer> </main> </body> </html>
