CrossRef Indicators
October 3, 2006
I remember when I first heard about Digital Object Identifiers DOIs and thinking, “great idea… needs critical mass.” Well, according to the latest CrossRef Indicators, they have long since passed critical mass.
CROSSREF INDICATORS (September 29, 2006)
Total no. participating publishers & societies 1,683
% of non-profit publishers 64%
Total no. participating libraries 1,107
No. journals covered 15,215
No. DOIs registered to date 22,584,497
No. DOIs deposited in previous month 294,257
No. DOIs retrieved (matched references) in previous month 4,503,094
DOI resolutions (end-user clicks) in previous month 11,007,980
The 11 million plus DOI resolutions is staggering really. That is 11 million clicks on specialized, authoritative content in one month.
