More open citation data available! We're excited to report that all publications by @UChicagoPress—journal articles, books, book chapters—registered with @CrossrefOrg (nearly half a million records) have enabled open reference distribution. crossref.org/members/prep/20…

Honoured to receive this award. So far, OpenCitations has picked the low-hanging fruit. Now the hard work starts: to extend the global open citation graph to include all those publications not using Crossref DOIs - see Academia’s missing references opencitations.wordpress.com/….

Thanks, Ross, but we also must acknowledge the hard work of all those other good folk involved in the Initiative for Open Citations, spearheaded by Dario Taraborelli @ReaderMeter
Elsevier announced it will be opening up reference lists of all articles via @CrossrefOrg. Can’t overestimate the hard work of @essepuntato @dshotton @opencitations in making this happen. Congratulations! elsevier.com/connect/advanci…

There’s a special brexity symmetry to this: suggesting a problem that almost certainly can’t be solved by technology is solved by a technology that almost certainly solves no problem. The whole situation is reflected around the Stupid Axis.
