Hi Crossref folks!
I wonder if there is any recommendation for depositing DOI metadata for Maps in Crossref?
Hi @asoto,
Thanks for your message.
You have two options here. We don’t have a content type specific to images or maps but if they are part of a larger object (like a book or a journal) they can be deposited as a component: https://0-www.crossref.org.libcat.lafayette.edu/education/content-registration/structural-metadata/components/. Component records are often registered for figures, tables, and supplemental materials associated with a journal article.
Alternatively, you can use our dataset content type to register content that doesn’t easily fit in any of the other types, including images (or maps). It has a very open-ended metadata schema.
For more information on dataset content, including sample deposit xml:
Best,
Isaac
