This includes some of the latest technical work the CORE team has been doing to deliver a range of new tools and services <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2023/11/21/identifying-and-extracting-authors-rights-retention-statements-from-full-text-academic-articles/">including identifying and extracting authors’ Rights Retention Statements from full text academic articles</a> and the automatic <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2023/08/22/detecting-duplicate-records-and-manuscript-versions-in-your-repository/">detection of duplicate records in institutional repositories</a>. The CORE team will also present their recent award-winning work on <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2023/03/17/core-gpt-combining-open-access-research-and-ai-for-credible-trustworthy-question-answering/">CORE-GPT</a>, an LLM based QA platform with the answers drawn from scientific documents hosted by CORE. <span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-none" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2024/06/12/a-review-of-core-at-open-repositories-2024/"><span>read more...</span></a></span></p></div> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2024/06/12/a-review-of-core-at-open-repositories-2024/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2024-06-12T14:51:02+01:00">12th June 2024</time><time class="updated" datetime="2024-06-12T14:51:03+01:00">12th June 2024</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/author/davidpride/">David Pride</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/conferences/" rel="category tag">conferences</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/core/" rel="category tag">CORE</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/news/" rel="category tag">News</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-1732" class="post-1732 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-core-membership category-dashboard category-news"> <header class="entry-header"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2024/05/23/core-launches-reindexing-button-for-data-providers/" rel="bookmark">CORE launches reindexing button for data providers</a></h2> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="ecae" style=""> <p>We support a huge range of data providers, from the smallest institutional repositories to the largest Open Access and preprint repositories such as PubMed Central and Arxiv. Each of these repositories have differing needs but one requirement for almost all of them is increasing the visibility and discoverability of their content. Being indexed by CORE is a key component in meeting these requirements. A recent study demonstrated that being indexed by CORE increases downloads from a repository by an average of 16%, and up to 32% in some cases. <span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-none" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2024/05/23/core-launches-reindexing-button-for-data-providers/"><span>read more...</span></a></span></p></div> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="posted-on"><span class="screen-reader-text">Posted on </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/2024/05/23/core-launches-reindexing-button-for-data-providers/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2024-05-23T13:45:36+01:00">23rd May 2024</time><time class="updated" datetime="2024-05-23T14:26:08+01:00">23rd May 2024</time></a></span><span class="byline"><span class="author vcard"><span class="screen-reader-text">Author </span><a class="url fn n" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/author/davidpride/">David Pride</a></span></span><span class="cat-links"><span class="screen-reader-text">Categories </span><a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/core-membership/" rel="category tag">CORE Membership</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/dashboard/" rel="category tag">dashboard</a>, <a href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/category/news/" rel="category tag">News</a></span> </footer> </article> <nav class="navigation pagination" aria-label="Posts pagination"> <h2 class="screen-reader-text">Posts pagination</h2> <div class="nav-links"><span aria-current="page" class="page-numbers current"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>1</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/page/2/"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>2</a> <span class="page-numbers dots">…</span> <a class="page-numbers" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/page/17/"><span class="meta-nav screen-reader-text">Page </span>17</a> <a class="next page-numbers" href="https://blog.core.ac.uk/page/2/">Next page</a></div> </nav> </main> </div> </div> <footer id="colophon" class="site-footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="site-info"> <div class="license"> <p> <a rel="license" href="//creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" title="Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license"><img class="lazy" style="float:right;" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src="//i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/88x31.png" alt="License"></a> </p> <div style="display: inline;" xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" about="http://creativecommons.org"> <p> <small> Except where otherwise noted, content on <span href="http://blog.core.ac.uk" property="cc:attributionName" rel="cc:attributionURL">this site</span> is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="//creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" class="subfoot"> Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license </a>. </small> </p> </div> </div> <a href="https://wordpress.org/">Proudly powered by WordPress</a> </div> </footer> </div> <script type='text/javascript'> /* <![CDATA[ */ r3f5x9JS=escape(document['referrer']);
