Online technology provider in scholarly publishing HighWire Press, a division of the Stanford University Libraries, has announced that it has become a key content partner in Serials Solutions' KnowledgeWorks Certification programme. KnowledgeWorks Certified is a new publisher certification programme that helps Serials Solutions to maintain the highest quality bibliographic metadata for e-resources.
The partnership with Serials Solutions is the latest in the HighWire Discoverability Initiative, which works to provide clear and easy access to HighWire-hosted content from as many points as possible on the web and other digital avenues. Under the deal, both parties will actively work together to make publishers' content accurate and easy to find so that readers may access the information they need within their library systems. The initiative is designed to increase visibility and findability of HighWire-hosted publishers' content and involves active partnerships with Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, the National Library of Medicine and other leading search and dissemination operations.
Serials Solutions collects bibliographic metadata then cross checks with the Library of Congress and other authority-based data sources in order to normalise the data. HighWire joins thirteen other content providers in the KnowledgeWorks Certification programme collaborating to ensure that bibliographic metadata is represented accurately and up-to-date in the Serials Solutions KnowledgeWorks knowledgebase.
