Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper explores the use of digital object identifiers (DOIs) in Canadian academic libraries. We analysed survey responses from 40 Canadian research organizations in order to understand the variables that accelerate or hamper the adoption of DOIs for digital research collections. Barriers to adoption include issues relating to technical barriers, lack of plugin integration, lack of dedicated technical staff, and the absence of institution-wide policy. Accelerants include the use of shared national research infrastructure, national funding to help reduce costs to libraries, and national consortia as technical liaisons and educators. Three priority areas for education include: guidance to help librarians decide when to apply a DOI to a resource; examples of metadata mappings for archival holdings and non-traditional formats; and the urgent need for support in maintenance planning for sustaining DOIs over the very long term.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
