Scholarship does not exist in a vacuum. For journals and repositories to truly serve the community, their records must be interconnected with the broader research ecosystem and the individuals behind the work. This session focuses on the practical “how-to” of metadata management, providing participants with the tools and knowledge necessary to build these vital connections and ensure their scholarly records are robust, discoverable, and up to date.

Agenda:

• The Connected Ecosystem: Understanding how metadata links records, researchers, and global databases.

• Record Maintenance: Best practices for updating and correcting metadata for existing records.
• Performance Monitoring: A guided review of Crossref participation reports to track metadata health.
• Optimisation Strategies: Techniques for moving from basic records to “good” metadata that serves the research community.

What you will learn:

• Seamless Connectivity: How to ensure your repository or journal is properly integrated into the international research landscape.
• Tool Mastery: Practical knowledge of the tools used for registering metadata efficiently.
• Lifecycle Management: How to maintain and update scholarly records over time to reflect changes and improvements.
