AIP Publishing has joined the Initiative for Open Abstracts (I4OA) to boost the discoverability of scholarly research and increase its impact by making journal article abstracts open and findable.
I4OA is a collaboration between scholarly publishers, librarians, researchers, and infrastructure organizations, to promote the availability of journal-article and book-chapter abstracts in trusted repositories where they are open and machine-accessible. Through the Crossref infrastructure, I4OA brings abstracts together in a common format in a searchable cross-disciplinary database. This provides opportunities for analysis via text mining, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence.
The Initiative for Open Abstracts is a collaboration between scholarly publishers, infrastructure organizations, librarians, researchers, and other interested parties to advocate and promote the unrestricted availability of the abstracts of the world’s scholarly publications, particularly journal articles and book chapters, in trusted repositories where they are open and machine-accessible. I4OA calls on all scholarly publishers to open the abstracts of their published works, and where possible to submit them to Crossref.
