- Using Crossref and DOIs (digital object identifiers) to provide reference linking services
- Introducing OpenAthens software so users can authenticate subscription access to our databases
- Following OpenURL industry standards
- Complying with COUNTER 5 requirements
- Ensuring databases are compatible with reference management software such as EndNote and RefWorks
- Supporting the principles of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics)
