This Complex Citation Implementation Interest Group is focused on implementing the recommendations developed by the initial Complex Citation Working Group. This interest group includes a broad number of workflow actors: researchers, infrastructure providers, publishers, indexers, DOI Registry Agencies, funders, institutions, and more. The Complex Citation use cases cover all disciplines. Each workflow actor has a role in implementation and securing a common approach to ensure a successful path forward such that all researchers have the tools needed to include all digital object citations in their manuscript no matter the volume, type, or complexity.

The Challenge: The current scholarly communication landscape does not easily support the ability for an author to cite a large number of existing data and other digital objects in their manuscript in a way that enables credit for each object as well as the provenance needed for transparency and traceability. The scholarly ecosystem requires accurate identification of the datasets and other digital objects used to support research findings. In some disciplines this can mean hundreds to millions of digital object citations.

Our  all-actor approach allows us to  “solve a complex problem in a simple way”. Together we are stronger.

Current task teams:

• Adoption Task Team
• Technical Task Team
