Incompatibility between the CrossRef Export to XML plugin and Crossmark

Hello everyone. I’m having a problem with depositing DOIs for my articles. Since Crossref changed its DOI deposit system, I’ve been using the Crossref Export in XML plugin. However, this has caused the Crossmark functionality for my articles to malfunction. Further investigation revealed that deposits made directly through the plugin don’t include the “Crossmark update policy page” information, which remains blank. When we manually enter the information directly into the Crossref system, Crossmark works again. However, this manual process is time-consuming.

I’m wondering if it’s possible for me to download the XML using the plugin, edit it to insert the “Crossmark update policy page” information, and then manually submit the XML.

However, I don’t know where this information would be inserted within the XML. I’m attaching the XML from an article below in case someone can guide me on this.

Este estudo teve como objetivo mapear e sintetizar as evidências científicas sobre as ferramentas utilizadas para a detecção e o diagnóstico precoce da PC em lactentes, com ênfase no Exame Neurológico Infantil de Hammersmith (HINE), a partir da pergunta norteadora: quais ferramentas têm sido utilizadas para a detecção e o diagnóstico precoce da paralisia cerebral em lactentes e quais evidências apontam a acurácia do HINE nesse processo? Realizou-se uma revisão de escopo conforme as diretrizes PRISMA-ScR e do Joanna Briggs Institute, com buscas nas bases PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, LILACS, Cochrane e literatura cinzenta, incluindo estudos publicados entre 2014 e 2024. Sete estudos foram incluídos, predominantemente de coorte, envolvendo lactentes com fatores de risco neurológico, como prematuridade e encefalopatia hipóxico-isquêmica. As principais ferramentas identificadas foram a ressonância magnética, a General Movements Assessment e o HINE, que apresentou sensibilidade entre 69% e 96% e especificidade entre 54% e 88%, destacando-se pela aplicabilidade clínica e baixo custo. Conclui-se que o HINE é instrumento válido e acessível para o rastreamento e diagnóstico precoce da PC, com potencial para fortalecer a vigilância do desenvolvimento infantil e qualificar o cuidado na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Cerebral palsy (CP) is the leading cause of physical disability in childhood, and its diagnosis still occurs late in many contexts, limiting early interventions and the potential for brain plasticity. This study aimed to map and synthesize the scientific evidence on tools used for early detection and diagnosis of CP in infants, with emphasis on the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE), guided by the following research question: which tools have been used for early detection and diagnosis of cerebral palsy in infants and what evidence supports the accuracy of HINE in this process? A scoping review was conducted according to PRISMA-ScR and Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines, with searches in PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, LILACS, Cochrane, and gray literature, including studies published between 2014 and 2024. Seven studies were included, mostly cohort designs, involving infants with neurological risk factors such as prematurity and hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy. The main tools identified were magnetic resonance imaging, General Movements Assessment, and HINE, which showed sensitivity ranging from 69% to 96% and specificity from 54% to 88%, standing out for its clinical applicability and low cost. It is concluded that HINE is a valid and accessible instrument for early screening and diagnosis of CP, with potential to strengthen developmental surveillance and improve care quality in primary health care.

I would appreciate any other way to resolve the issue, including a plugin update, if available.

I’m not aware of any plugin updates, but you can post-process your xmls to add the crossmarks to them (that’s how I do this). You can check this https://voffch.github.io/single-pages/ojs2crossref.html#adding_crossmark , which was written for different OJS and different crossref xml schema, but the basics should be the same (I strongly suspect that their newest schemas are not different in this regard). And keep in mind that what’s written there about the two-step deposit is not quite right, because their documentation was a bit ambiguous in this regard. See this post https://community.crossref.org/t/two-step-deposits-and-crossmark-metadata/15500

Maybe even a simple search and replace will be sufficient in your case (e.g., substituting crossmarks for <ai:program>).

Hey, thanks a lot for the feedback. The information you gave me was very helpful, and I’m already testing editing the XML of an article to see if it works.

If you don’t mind, could you tell me if you use the tool below to deposit XML and if you choose the Metadata, Query, or DOI Query option?

https://doi.crossref.org/servlet/useragent

I’m not the one depositing, I only prepare the xmls and check them with crossref.org : metadata quality check on occasion, so I had to ask. Yes, we use the Administration Console for depositing, Type: Metadata.
