# DOIBoost: Crossref, Unpaywall, Microsoft Academic Graph, ORCID
DOIBoost is a dataset that combines research outputs and links among them from a selection of data sources.
It enriches the records available on Crossref with what's available on Unpaywall, Microsoft Academic Graph, ORCID intersecting all those datasets by DOI.
As consequence, DOIBoost does not contain any record from MAG, Unpaywall, or ORCID that doesn't provide a DOI available in Crossref.
Each Crossref record is enriched with:
* ORCID identifiers of authors from ORCID
* Open Access instance (with OA color/route and license) from Unpaywall
The Open Access status is also set by intersecting the journal information of a record with the journal lists available from DOAJ and the Gold ISSN list.
## Inputs
* *Crossref*: dump available to Crossref subscribers via MetadataPlus service, updated once a month.
* *Microsoft Academic Graph*: downloaded version on 2021-02-15. We plan to take the latest version in Dec 2021 before MAG will be retired.
* *ORCID*: baseline dump obtained in 2020-10-13, regularly updated every week from the [ORCID public API](https://info.orcid.org/documentation/features/public-api).
* *Unpaywall*: public database snapshot downloaded in March 2021. Unpaywall updates it twice a year (https://unpaywall.org/products/snapshot)
The construction of the DOIBoost dataset consists of the following phases:
Records in Crossref are ruled out according to the following criteria
* have blank title, examples:
*`10.1093/rheumatology/41.7.837`
*`10.1093/qjmed/95.7.430`

Records with `type=dataset` are mapped into OpenAIRE research products of type dataset. All others are mapped as OpenAIRE research products of type publication.
| `subject` | `subject` | with `classid='keywords'`, i.e. no controlled vocabularies for Crossref subjects |
| `publicationdate` | `issued.datetime` or, if not available, `created.datetime` | |
| `publisher` | `publisher` | |
| `source` | `source` | only if the record is not of type `book` |
| `source` | concatenation of `container-title.head` + `"ISBN: "` + `ISBN.head` | only if the record is of type `book` |
| `container` | | It is set only for publications with information about the journal it was published in. |
| `container.name` | `container-title.head` | |
| `container.issnOnline` | `issn-type.value` | if `issn-type.type='electronic'` |
| `container.issnPrinted` | `issn-type.value` | if `issn-type.type='print'` |
| `container.vol` | `volume` | |
| `container.sp` | `page` | before `'-'` |
| `container.ep` | `page` | after `'-'` |
| `instance` | | One instance is created with the DOI URL |
| `instance.accessright` | | Values in `instance.accessright.code` and `instance.accessright.label` are set based on license and dateofacceptance:<br/>- `UNKNOWN`: if the license is blank<br/>- `OPEN ACCESS`: if the license is a CC license or an ACS license or an APA license (considered OPEN also by Unpaywall, see [Unpaywall FAQ](https://support.unpaywall.org/support/solutions/articles/44002063718-what-is-an-oa-license-) for details) or if OUP license, but only after 12 months from the publication date<br/>- `EMBARGO`: OUP license, before 12 months from the publication date<br/>- `CLOSED`: if there is a license not covered by the previous cases |
| `instance.accessright.code` | | Code from the [COAR vocabulary for access right](http://vocabularies.coar-repositories.org/documentation/access_rights/) |
| `instance.accessright.scheme` | | Scheme that defines the code and label, i.e. the URL to the [COAR vocabulary for access right](http://vocabularies.coar-repositories.org/documentation/access_rights/) |
| `instance.accessright.openAccessRoute` | | only if `instance.accessright.value = 'OPEN ACCESS'`. Default is `hybrid`. The route is fixed in subsequent phases of DOIBoost, namely when intersecting with Unpaywall and patching the hostedby via DOAJ and the Gold-ISSN list. |
| `instance.license` | `license.URL ` | If there is a `license.content-version='vor'`, then this is used. Otherwise the first license entry is used. |
| `instance.pid` | | The scheme tells the type of PID, the value contains the actual value |
| `instance.type` | `subtype` | mapped using the [OpenAIRE vocabulary for research products typologies](https://api.openaire.eu/vocabularies/dnet:result_typologies) |
All other fields of the Json schema not mentioned in the table contain empty values.
All the records from Crossref are related to the datasource with `name=Crossref` and `id=openaire____::081b82f96300b6a6e3d282bad31cb6e2`
Possible improvements:
* map `clinical-trial-number` and `alternative-id` in `alternateIdentifiers`?
* Verify if Crossref has a property for `language`, `country`, `container.issnLinking`, `container.iss`, `container.edition`, `container.conferenceplace` and `container.conferencedate`
* Different approach to set the `refereed` field and improve its coverage?
Links to funding available in Crossref are mapped as funding relationships (`ResearchProduct -- isProducedBy -- Project`) applying the following mapping:

The record will also feature a relation to the UnpayWall data source: `name="UnpayWall"`, `id=openaire____::8ac8380272269217cb09a928c8caa993`.
| `author.name` | `capitalize(name)` | only mapped if not blank |
| `author.surname` | `capitalize(surname)` | only mapped if not blank |
| `author.fullname` | | if name and surname are not blank, they are concatenated (`capitalize(name) capitalize(surname)`), otherwise we use the `creditName` |
| `author.pid` | | only if the `ORCID` is available |
| `author.pid.id.scheme` | | Default `orcid` (meaning that it is confirmed by ORCID, (in contrast to the `orcid_pending` set from Crossref and Unpaywall) |
The records are enriched with the ORCID identifiers of their authors.
[//]: # (TODO: Update with the new approach implemented by Miriam.)
The current approach is:
* if the number of authors from Crossref equals the size of authors from ORCID, then we pick the list of authors with more PIDs and try to enrich it with the PIDs from the other list, based on JaroWrinkler distance on authors' names, surnames, or fullnames, depending on which properties are available;
* if the number of authors are different, then we take the longest and try to enrich it with the PIDs from the other author list, based on JaroWrinkler distance on authors' names, surnames, or fullnames, depending on which properties are available
* Since for the same DOI we have multiple version of item with different MAG PaperId, we only take one per DOI (the last one we process). We call this dataset `Papers_distinct`
In this phase, we intersect DOIBoost3 with a dataset composed of journals from OpenAIRE, Crossref, and the ISSN gold list. Each journal comes with its International Standard Serial Numbers (`issn`, `eissn`, `lissn`) and, when available, a flag that tells if the journal is open access. The intersection is done on the basis of the International Standard Serial Numbers. The records with a `journal.[l|e]issn` that match are enriched as follows:
* Each instance gain the `hostedby` information corresponding to the journal
* If the journal is open access, the access rights of the instances are also set to `Open Access` with `gold` route (because by construction, the journals we know are open are from DOAJ or Gold ISSN list)
The hostedby of records that do not match are set to the `Unknown Repository`.
