One of the most exciting additions to our network in recent months has been the Association of University Presses’ (AEUP) collection, which includes book and book chapter titles from universities across Europe including a multilingual support that ScienceOpen implemented to answer and quickly adapt to publishers’ needs.

ScienceOpen is offering AEUP a catalog service based on DOIs, which is fully supported by a wide range of discovery and promotional services and tools that highlight content from AEUP members on our network and beyond. This project supports AEUP’s knowledge distribution mission by providing cutting-edge indexing and metadata services and facilitating communication between AEUP members and scholarly circles in Europe and beyond.

The Association of European University Presses has 46 members from 18 countries.

Our automation technology and metadata management services make it easy to import new content from AEUP members directly into BookMetaHub via a simple DOI-based query for metadata registered with Crossref, DataCite, or Zenodo. If DOIs are not available, ONIX files can be uploaded alternatively, and missing data such as persistent IDs added via an intuitive user interface (different formats can also be merged given the respective relational data is available).

Book and optional chapter records can subsequently be enhanced for rich and persistent sets of metadata. All available DOI-based data (or optionally via the BMH enriched data) is then represented and showcased in its own AEUP collection and the larger context of our network’s 87 million publications.

Sharing knowledge on a European level

Over the summer, we have seen how the collection has grown, with interaction and interest in older and newer titles constantly on the rise, and over 3000 new books and book chapters added.
