Enhancing Repository Integration with Crossref Services

In the 20 years since Open Repositories began, the importance of metadata in enabling equitable access to research outputs has only grown. Repositories play a crucial role in making scholarly content discoverable, interoperable, and reusable. This presentation will explore how repositories can enhance their metadata workflows by integrating with Crossref's services. We will provide practical examples of how repositories can utilize Crossref's metadata to enrich their records, link content persistently, and comply with FAIR data principles. By discussing best practices, we will demonstrate how this integration fosters interoperability and discoverability, supporting the Open Repositories community in the preservation of digital content.
