- Crossref as a new source of citation data: A comparison with Web of Science and Scopus
“A large share of the scholarly literature indexed in WoS and Scopus is also available in Crossref. For recent years, 68% of the WoS publications and 77% of the Scopus publications can be matched with Crossref using DOIs as a crosswalking mechanism. These figures are likely to underestimate the true overlap between the data sources, since matching based on DOIs presents several difficulties, such as missing, incorrect, and duplicate DOIs. To improve matching, publishers and data providers need to work together to offer more comprehensive and more accurate DOI data.”
