Metadata and Discoverability

Navigation: Resources > For Institutions & Libraries > Metadata and Discoverability

This resource sets out CorayNova Academic Press's publisher-level standards for article metadata, persistent linking, and responsible discoverability.

CorayNova is committed to providing high-quality metadata that helps institutions, libraries, repositories, discovery services, funders, authors, and readers identify, link to, cite, and understand the current status of published articles.

· Metadata Standard

CorayNova is committed to providing high-quality metadata, including article title, authors, affiliations, abstract, keywords, references where available, DOI, ORCID where provided, funding information where provided, license information, publication date, article version/status, and correction/retraction links.

Metadata quality depends on accurate author submission, journal editorial checks, production processing, platform configuration, and post-publication maintenance. Institutions using CorayNova metadata should preserve source links and avoid altering metadata in a way that misidentifies the article or its status.

Metadata Element
Institutional Use

Article title
Identifies the work in catalogues, repositories, reference systems, and discovery records.

Authors and affiliations
Supports author identification, institutional reporting, attribution, and search.

Abstract and keywords
Supports discovery, relevance assessment, subject indexing, and repository display.

References where available
Supports citation linking, scholarly context, and metadata enrichment.

DOI
Supports persistent identification, citation, linking, and repository records where assigned.

ORCID where provided
Supports author disambiguation when submitted by authors and supported by platform or journal configuration.

Funding information where provided
Supports funder reporting, compliance review, and institutional records.

License information
Supports reuse assessment, open access workflows, rights display, and repository decisions.

Publication date and article version/status
Supports accurate citation, record management, and version control.

Correction/retraction links
Supports responsible record updates and prevents citation of outdated or affected records in isolation.

· DOI and Preferred Linking

CorayNova supports DOI-based persistent linking for published articles where assigned. Institutions and libraries should use the DOI or the article landing page as the preferred link in catalogues, discovery systems, institutional repositories, subject guides, course guides, and research support materials.

The article landing page is the preferred human-readable record because it can display the current article status, license, supplementary materials, post-publication notices, and updated metadata.

· Metadata Dissemination

CorayNova deposits and maintains article metadata through Crossref where applicable. Metadata availability, completeness, timing, and downstream display may vary according to journal setup, article type, production status, third-party service processing, and platform configuration.

ORCID identifiers are encouraged, but their presence depends on author submission and platform or journal configuration. Institutions should not infer that an article lacks author identity verification solely because an ORCID identifier is not displayed.

Channel or Identifier
CorayNova Standard

CorayNova Journals Platform
Primary platform for journal pages, article landing pages, metadata, DOI information, license information, full text, supplementary materials, and post-publication updates.

DOI
Supported for published articles where assigned; preferred for persistent linking and citation.

Crossref
Article metadata is deposited and maintained through Crossref where applicable.

ORCID
Authors are encouraged to provide ORCID identifiers where supported by submission and platform workflows.

RSS, alerts, or platform metadata feeds
May be available depending on journal and platform configuration.

Indexes and databases
Coverage varies by journal and should be verified on the relevant journal page.

· Indexing and Database Statements

Indexing and database coverage vary by journal and should be verified on the relevant journal page. CorayNova does not use publisher-level resources to promise, imply, or substitute for journal-specific indexing information.

Institutions evaluating a journal should review the journal homepage, article records, metadata, license statements, publication history, editorial information, and any journal-specific indexing or abstracting statements.
