Opened this issue · 1 comments
Description
Q: What is the name of the feature?
A: Better handling of no-article-found case
Q: What does this feature enable the user to do?
A: Enter article details when article not found in Pubmed / Biorxiv.
Q: What information must the user provide to use the feature?
A:
- Author list / first & last (free text)
- Article title (already provided)
- Journal name
- Year
Q: What are the applicable constraints, e.g. compatibility or performance?
A:
- Everything but the author list is simple
- The author list could be formatted in lots of different ways (e.g. comma-separated, semicolons, initials, middle name...)
- Just do free text (good for display only) for author list and show as-is until populated by cron
Q: How does this feature affect each class of user (persona)?
A:
- Biologist:
- Editor:
- Computational biologist:
- Curator:
Specification
Mockup
Version A. Add "journal"
Add a Journal input to the existing popup in the editor.
- Pros
- Removes a lot of guesswork
- Cons
- No year, authors
- Used in matching algorithms
- No year, authors
Version B. Fall-back when unable to find match
When unable to match author's article, fall-back to a form with more fields.
- Cons
- More work for an author
- Pros
- We reuse current form (which generally works) and only use this in rare case of unmatched

As we are piloting with Nature Cell Biology, I looked back at their last 3 issues (Volume 26, Issues 9-11) to get a sense of the relationship between preprints and the version of record/publication. In this period, where were N=34 research articles published.
The take home message Most published NCB research articles won't have a preprint, and for those that do, the titles won't be the same. Only 4/34 articles had a preprint with the same title. You mileage may vary depending on the journal.
Notes:
- PubMed and Crossref lack any information about relations between the preprint and publication, at least at the point of publication
- CrossRef provides information and code used to match preprints-articles
- Incredibly accurate tool to match article DOI to preprint (100%): https://marple.research.crossref.org/match?task=preprint-matching&strategy=preprint-sbmv&input=10.1038/s41556-024-01541-5
- Can we extract this, get the converse service: preprint --> publication?
1. How long does it take for an accepted NCB article to end up on PubMed?
2. What proportion of NCB articles had an associated preprint?
3. For NCB articles with a preprint (N=15), what is the period between the posting and PubMed indexing?
4. For NCB articles with a preprint, how often are the titles identical?
