How CCC Supports the Scholarly Publishing Community
The State of Scholarly Metadata
CCC and Media Growth Strategies undertook a thorough examination of metadata management across the research lifecycle. Drawn directly from research interviews, we created an interactive, visual report that depicts the significant economic and social impact that a fragmented metadata supply chain has on researchers, institutions, funders, and publishers on the journey to Open Access and beyond; and highlights some exciting initiatives showing that progress is underway to improve metadata management.
