CHORUS has announced two enhancements to CHORUS’ core services to identify and monitor research articles reporting on funded research.
CHORUS is now capturing results from Unpaywall to enhance its open access monitoring processes.
The inclusion of Unpaywall’s Open Access checks augment existing CHORUS open access monitoring procedures and GetFTR data to further expand and automate checking journal articles and conference proceedings from publishers, supporting the organization’s mission of advancing sustainable, cost-effective content reporting on research funded by public organizations. The audit provenance is captured in the CHORUS database and displayed in the CHORUS Services.
Additionally, CHORUS has been working closely with the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) to identify published research funded by JST Programs that have not been correctly identified in the metadata deposited at Crossref. The initial exercise resulted in the identification and verification of a number of additional articles that were funded by JST. These DOIs have now been added to the CHORUS database. JST is reflected as the Funder Source in the CHORUS Dashboards and Reports. CHORUS will continue to work with JST to identify additional DOIs funded by JST Programs. CHORUS Publisher Members are welcome to update their Crossref records with this additional metadata but are not required to do so. No further member obligations are implied by this JST-provided information.
