Dimensions is built on several principles that we\u2019ve talked about before. Here the most relevant of those principles are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>unique identifiers should underlie everything that we do;<\/li>\n<li>data should not be inclusive and the tool should allow the user to select what they want to see;<\/li>\n<li>data should be more available to our community;<\/li>\n<li>data should be presented with as much contextual information as possible;<\/li>\n<li>the community should have enough data available to be able to create and experiment with their own metrics and indicators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the context of these principles, Crossref makes a perfect starting place to create a tool like Dimensions. We use the Crossref data to know about our possible \u201cuniverse\u201d of articles. We then enhance the Crossref core with data from several different places: open access publications in the DOAJ, PubMed, BioArXiv, and through relationships with publishers. In all, 60 million of the 95 million articles in the Dimensions index have a full text version that we can text and data mine for additional information.<\/p>\n<p>In Dimensions\u2019 enhancement stage we can extract address information (where not included in the original Crossref record) and map it to GRID funding information and the list of funders in Crossref\u2019s Funder Registry as well as to our database of grants in Dimensions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1496 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/dimensions-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"819\" height=\"431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/dimensions-2-1.jpg 1128w, https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/dimensions-2-1-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/dimensions-2-1-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/dimensions-2-1-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/dimensions-2-1-571x300.jpg 571w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To read more about the uses of Crossref metadata, read the full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crossref.org\/categories\/api-case-study\/\">Crossref blog series.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Hook, Digital Science CEO; Christian Herzog, \u00dcberResearch CEO; and Simon Porter, Director of Innovation talk about how Dimensions uses the Crossref REST API to augment other data and their workflow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1585,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"latestblog_background":"","latestblog_bgcolor":"","latestblog_textcolor":"","latestblog_overlay":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"resource_audience_segment":[],"class_list":["post-1495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":{"author_name":"Christine Cormack Wood","author_image":10473},"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/AdobeStock_119946081-e1559929234366.jpeg",1000,375,false]},"post_excerpt_dimensions":"<p>Daniel Hook, Digital Science CEO; Christian Herzog, \u00dcberResearch CEO; and Simon Porter, Director of Innovation talk about how Dimensions uses the Crossref REST API to augment other data and their workflow.<\/p>\n","category_list":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/blog\/category\/blog\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Blog<\/a>","author_info":{"name":"admin","url":"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/blog\/author\/admin\/"},"comments_num":"0 comments","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1495"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1495\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1495"},{"taxonomy":"resource_audience_segment","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dimensions.ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/resource_audience_segment?post=1495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
