Quick Wins to Improve Your Ranking

Small metadata improvements can significantly boost your score. Here are the highest-impact changes you can make:

1

Improve Funding

+16 pts potential

Include funder information using Open Funder Registry IDs and grant/award numbers.

2

Improve People

+14 pts potential

Include ORCID iDs for authors. Encourage authors to authenticate their ORCID during submission.

3

Improve Organizations

+12 pts potential

Pro Tip: Focus on your current (recent) publications first. Improving metadata on new deposits is easier than updating backfiles, and it will immediately improve your "current" coverage scores.
