The INFORMATE Project has combined three data sources to explore how the global research infrastructure might help the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and other federal agencies identify and characterize the impact of their support. The data sources are the NSF Award Database, the NSF Public Access Repository (PAR), and the global research infrastructure as viewed through CHORUS.
Last week I wrote about the options we have for including DOIs in RSS feeds. This week is implementation time. Starting today, the Atom feed of this blog includes the DOI in the Atom metadata field.
