Crossref to support acceptance_date in version 4.4.2 of schema

Melissa37 commented 5 years ago

Problem / Motivation

Crossref and eLife want this
The acceptance date from eLife XML to be added to data set to Crossref
WHY do they want this? Creates greater transparency and this data from eLife is added to a bigger pool of publication information that can be mined

Proposed solution

eLife XML:

<date date-type="accepted" iso-8601-date="2016-04-01">
                <day>01</day>
                <month>04</month>
                <year>2016</year>
            </date>

Added to data sent to Crossref.

Clarification needed and assumptions

Need to know where in the schema this goes

Tasks

[x] Identify how Crossref want this information
[x] Identify how to pull it into the object that builds the Crossref XML

Does this <date> tag always appear inside the <history> tag?

For eLife articles, we have this date present in the Article object.

Looking at the Crossref XML schema, I think we would probably put this date something like this format:

<acceptance_date media_type="online">
<month>08</month>
<day>22</day>
<year>2019</year>
</acceptance_date>

The media_type="online" if not specified I think defaults to media_type="print" when Crossref processes the deposit. Currently our Crossref generation code sets all <publication_date media_type="online"> tags to "online". If we want to support different media_type values (for other journals) that may need some expansion.

Also noting <acceptance_date> is available in the 4.4.1 version of the schema - https://www.crossref.org/schemas/common4.4.1.xsd

Ah, that's interesting. Any ideas of how easy it would be to add it? :-)

Adding the date looks straightforward, if we stick to assuming it is type "online".

Melissa37 commented 5 years ago

Cool. However, I am a bit unsure of the need to add the online attribute because the acceptance date is not an online or print date, as nothing to do with publishing the article is actually associated with this date (if that makes sense?)?

It is in history but we should be mindful of <history> and <pub-history>. This is a definite <history> date as it's not recording a publication event.

@gnott, given we're providing crossref with the acceptance_date for Pre-registered deposits (https://github.com/elifesciences/issues/issues/6569), do you think it might be worth revisiting this?

It looks like media_type is optional in 4.4.2, but we could provide electronic. What do you think?

fred-atherden commented 3 years ago

As discussed in our call today, @gnott to take a look and see if we're already providing Crossref with acceptance dates for article deposits (as we do with pre-registered dois).

If we are not, this is something which we could potentially add in prior to upgrading to schema version 5.3.1.

gnott commented 3 years ago

I checked, and it looks like this in particular has not been added yet. The first type of deposit to included an acceptance_date was in the pending_publication deposits.

When parsing the article XML, the accepted is included for some time now for eLife articles.

I'll add this next as an enhancement.

gnott commented 3 years ago

I see now the @media_type value is currently hard-coded on the <publication_date> tag, but for pending publication deposits the <acceptance_date> tag has no @media_type. I'm not sure what is best there, and I'm leaning towards not to bother with a @media_type for the acceptance date, especially in eLife's case where all articles are "online" anyway.

fred-atherden commented 3 years ago

Sounds good to me - let's leave @media_type out.

gnott commented 3 years ago

Thanks for confirming Fred, I went that route, and this feature was added a deployed yesterday. If there are no errors at Crossref today, I think we can consider this finished, and I'll close the issue now.
