Validating Repository Content (VALREC)
The key objective of this project is to increase trust in the contents of
repositories by developing and testing a service designed to validate the
scholarly research articles found in repositories against the final
publisher's PDF available from the publisher's website.
The system of validation will perform three essential tasks:
-
verify the basic facts of publication against the publication claims made
in the repository metadata b)check for the differences between repository
version and publisher's PDF
-
provide a signed, digital certificate that attests to the publication of
the postprint and any differences in content
