Integrations

Updates to the Wos Journal metrics job

Two minor improvements have been made to the WoS Journal Metrics job. From now on matches will only be performed towards the primary ISSn on the journal record in Pure. This is done to prevent wrong metrics to be added to Journals. Also, as an addition to the 2 times a year we check for new journal metrics in WoS, we have introduced the option of triggering an on-demand re-harvest of metrics on all your journals. Be aware that a re-harvest can take multiple days, before all journals has been revisited. The precise number of days is indicated in the job configuration. 

More information on the WoS Journal metrics job can be found here

 

Updates to the CrossRef integration

The integration with CrossRef has been expanded also to include import of Pre-print articles. More information on the mapping of CrossRef publications can be found here
