Data for: Identifying Metadata Quality Issues Across Cultures

This sample was drawn from the Crossref API on March 8, 2022. The sample was constructed purposefully on the hypothesis that records with at least one known issue would be more likely to yield issues related to cultural meanings and identity. Records known or suspected to have at least one quality issue were selected by the authors and Crossref staff. The Crossref API was then used to randomly select additional records from the same prefix. Records in the sample represent 51 DOI prefixes that were chosen without regard for the manuscript management or publishing platform used, as well as 17 prefixes for journals known to use the Open Journal Systems manuscript management and publishing platform. OJS was specifically identified due to the authors' familiarity with the platform, its international and multilingual reach, and previous work on its metadata quality.
