Score by Content Type

Scores calculated separately for each content type registered with Crossref. The aggregate score above includes all types.

Content TypeScoreGrade
GrantTOP22F
Reports6F
Non-article content types (reviews, components, corrections) typically have lower metadata coverage, which can reduce the aggregate score above.
Why doesn't the leaderboard use per-type scores? Deciding which content types count as "primary research" is subjective and varies by discipline and publisher model. The leaderboard uses Crossref's aggregate coverage to ensure a consistent, comparable baseline across all 27,000+ publishers. This per-type breakdown lets you see the full picture for any individual publisher.

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 Provenance

+20 pts potential

Add reference lists to your DOI deposits. Even partial references help establish citation links.

2

Improve People

+16 pts potential

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

3

Improve Access

+15 pts potential

Add abstracts, license URLs (using SPDX identifiers), and full-text links to your metadata.

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.
