(1 review) Understanding the implications of Open Citations - how far along are we?
The academic discovery space seems to be buzzing again.
This space has become relatively stable after the introduction and maturity of Web Scale Discovery between 2009-2013, but things seem to be hotting up once again. With the recent interest in integrating discovery of open access, as well as linked data (with a dash of machine learning and text mining) we have the beginnings of an interesting situation. A third development which was harder to forsee is the rise in Open Citation movement which I will focus on in this post.
How did this movement begin? EBSCO and BiblioLabs Announce OA Service for Theses, Dissertations. EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) and BiblioLabs will launch OpenDissertations.org, an open access (OA) initiative that will facilitate the discovery of electronic theses and dissertations (ETD), in early 2018.
Students, researchers, and libraries can submit ETD for free. EBSCO will include metadata for the submitted ETD in EBSCO Discovery Service, as well as exposing it on the OpenDissertations.org website to enhance the discoverability of this OA content both within academia and in open web searches. User traffic will be driven to partnering sites, such as academic institutional repositories (IR), which will host full-text versions of the theses and dissertations. “Universities have long provided theses and dissertations to companies that require libraries to subscribe to their products to gain the added value of aggregated access to this research output,” EBSCO explained in an announcement. Enhanced visibility.

" Musings about librarianship : Getting serious about open access discovery - Is open access getting too big to ignore? As any librarian familiar with the situation can tell you, while in theory Discovery services like Summon, Primo allow you to add a lot of open access material from various open access sources, in practice you wouldn’t do so because there were many issues such as inability to reliably identify full text items among non-full text items in open access collections as well as outright broken links.
This was particularly bad for institutional repository contents (if they were even included, indexed individually or as part of a aggregator). Things seems to be changing though. First off, Scopus and Web of Science began to tag articles as open access. Still initially this was done crudely based on whether it was in a Open access Gold journal. But this still missed out hybrid articles and even more seriously Green Open access material. More importantly Proquest (which owns the two main library discovery services Primo & Summon) announced their serious intent to improve this aspect of discovery.
