University of Chicago adopts CORE’s article deduplication tool

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. For ORA (Oxford University Research Archive), the use of the CORE API offers an opportunity to enhance workflows and streamline the process of reviewing and curating articles for inclusion in the repository...

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

With the rollout of the Rioxx V3 metadata schema, repositories can benefit from far richer metadata for their articles. Since the release of the updated schema, The University of Cambridge has been working to develop an implementation of a RIOXX v3 for DSpace-based repositories which will greatly simplify the adoption of this metadata schema. The implementation process and verification of the metadata has been supported by the CORE Rioxx v3 validator available in the CORE Dashboard...

Aligning with established metadata practices is key for the interoperability of your repository with external systems and for meeting FAIR principles. Funders increasingly mandate the use of established metadata profiles. The RIOXX metadata validator is a tool that helps you validate compliance of individual metadata records with RIOXX, a widely used metadata standard for repositories.

CORE provides functionality to automatically identify papers with Rights Retention Strategy statements in your repository by means of testing if the rights retention statement is present in the paper’s full text. This can be used to reduce time of repository staff in reviewing access rights and improve repository metadata. [Rights Retention Strategy statement identification demo.](~rights-retention)
