And,

Content changes

“The Web is by nature an interactive environment, yet online journals are mostly static, befitting their traditional role as a never-changing scholarly record.”

When content changes, readers need to know

How Does a Researcher Know What to Trust?•Author name

•Affiliation

•How many times something has been cited

•On a reputable web site (publisher or journal brand)

•Ratings, Comments

A Little Quiz: Does this article have

corrections?

Does this article have corrections?

Researcher Concerns

• Which version of a document am I reading?

• Google and Google Scholar search results return multiple versions

• Librarians do not have time to help me track post-publication changes at the article level.

• I might site an “incorrect” versions of a paper that has a correction or retraction without knowing

• Google does not return up-to-date versions of my own articles.

• Metrics do not always reflect all of the accesses of different versions of a my published work

Lack of awareness of corrections or updates

particularly problematic in medicine and related fields.

•Where the publisher-maintained version is

•Other important publication record information
