University of Chicago adopts CORE’s article deduplication tool

Based on my experience, I would guess that it isn’t as accurate if it relies primarily on exact matches. CORE’s duplicate check displays the “confidence” it has that a record is duplicated in the repository, which is also helpful when determining the final decision on whether a duplicate record...

How the Oxford University Research Archive (ORA) uses the CORE API

CORE indexes and aggregates information of research papers collected from institutional and subject repositories, and open access and hybrid journals, and makes the content available via an API. The CORE API offers a wealth of metadata and full text content from its many data providers.

The implementation process and verification of the metadata has been supported by the CORE Rioxx v3 validator available in the CORE Dashboard...
