Let's use this issue to jot down notes related to what percent of scholarly publication DOIs are registered with Crossref.
As a refresher, there are many DOI Registration Agencies (RA). For example, EIDR is a DOI RA for entertainment, so you can actually get DOI metadata for some porns! There is even discussion regarding DOIs for construction products. Shoutout to @jenniferlin15 who helped me understand these intricacies of the DOI system.
For our analyses, we're most interested in DOIs for scholarly content. There are other RAs than Crossref that engage with scholarly content. Some examples are:
- mEDRA which "provides DOI registration services to publishers, academic institutions, research centres and intermediaries in Italy, in the EU market and internationally."
- DataCite which "provides persistent identifiers (DOIs) for research data."
We're mostly interested in cataloging all DOIs for scholarly publications in relation to our Sci-Hub coverage project.
