2013 SSP 35th Annual Meeting
Concurrent 5B: Enhancing Discoverability of Book Content
As content strategies and business models continue to evolve for book publishers, one thing seems clear: book chapters and their components are becoming the new economy for STM and Professional book publishers. This session would explore the relative obscurity of book chapter content and the remedies for enhancing discoverability and citation. The problems and solutions will be examined from the viewpoints of the book author, publishers and “discoverability” service providers. The importance of both CrossRef DOIs and index/abstract metadata for book chapters will be discussed, citing examples of some high profile book publishers.
