While it is a best practice for DOIs (expressed as URL) to send the user to the landing page for that resource (Starr et al., 2015), sometimes we want something else: metadata , e.g. to generate a citation, or to go to the content itself. The easiest way to do that is to use DOI content negotiation.
On Friday 20th January 2017, I will present within the Seminar Series at the Centre for Human Computer Interaction Design at City, University of London. The title of my talk is “Graphic Medicine: Using Comics as a Mental Health Information Resource”. The seminar will be held in AG08, College Building, from 1pm – 2pm.
We will be organising knowledge exchange workshops between HCID researchers, mental health professionals, comics scholars and comics artists, focusing on the reuse and adaptation into comics of the dementia care best practice data collected the Care’N’Share project.
Today we are launching a new version of the DataCite API at http://api.datacite.org. This new version includes numerous bug fixes and now includes related resources (e.g. data centers, members or contributors) according to the JSONAPI spec. The changelog can be found here. Current users of the API should watch out for breaking changes in the meta object used for faceting.
The scholarly research community has come to depend on a series of open identifier and metadata infrastructure systems to great success. Content identifiers (through DataCite and Crossref) and contributor identifiers (through ORCID) have become foundational infrastructure for the community.
Yesterday the editorial my colleague Nicolas Pillai and I co-wrote was published on The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship: Brilliant Corners: Approaches to Jazz and Comics. The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship.
Excited to have a new peer-reviewed publication, a data paper on the Journal of Open Health Data: Farthing, A. & Priego, E., (2016). Data from ‘Graphic Medicine’ as a Mental Health Information Resource: Insights from Comics Producers. Open Health Data.
I have co-edited with Dr Nicolas Pillai (Birmingham City University) a special collection of peer-reviewed research articles for The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship. We have published a new addition to the collection.
A quick note on #dhdiversity. What is it that defines us a scholars?
This week we relaunched DataCite Search, providing a more user-friendly search interface for DataCite metadata. We also added functionality that was not available before. The new search uses a single entry box for queries, and filters by resource type, publication year and data center. A new Cite button will generate a citation in several popular citation styles, and in BibTeX and RIS import formats.
