Abstract
In this presentation, two IR workers will discuss the origination, development, complications, and successes of their efforts in creating a Google Apps Script to pull metadata for batch uploading faculty publications into the Digital Commons. By pasting a DOI into a particular cell in a Google Sheet, the IR manager can automagically plug in the metadata that coordinate with bepress’s batch upload Excel sheet. This happens by pulling in the information from CrossRef’s database. Future development could result in a more seamless and effective batch upload procedure, but it is also dependent on the publishing community to be more proactive with uploading more comprehensive metadata into CrossRef.
