Growing support for the Initiative for Open Citations, I4OC

(11 July 2017) Launched back in April, the Initiative for Open Citations (I4OC) has a bold ambition: for 100% of citation data to be freely available for re-use. And so far this collaboration between publishers, researchers and other stakeholders is proving to be well on the way to achieving that goal.

For users to be able to use citation data to its full potential, it needs to be machine-readable. Many publishers are already sending key information about citations within the metadata they submit to Crossref – the problem is that from the outset the default for that information has been closed.

OASPA has the full details.
