New Shorter SLUGsSLUG : Human readable part of a URL

Old: http://test.ands.org.au/a-bestatin-based-chemical-biology-strategy-reveals-distinct-roles-for-malaria-m1-and-m17-family-aminopeptidases

New: http://test.ands.org.au/bestatin-based-chemical-family-aminopeptidases/11296• Generated by removing stop words from the title then concatenating the first 3 and last 2

words.

• Improve Search Engine Optimisation.

• Existing URLs will still resolve to the correct records.

• URLS using “view?key=<record key>” format still work.

• Registry Object ID appended to end of URL can be used to resolve record without knowing SLUG. E.g. http://test.ands.org.au/11296

7

• Existing framework contained a number of minor bugs which need to be addressed (e.g. blank grey screen and server connection bugs).

• Completely rewritten but functionality and interface remains mostly unchanged.

• New “Provide Records to Data Citation Index” option added.

Exporting Collection References

9

• Minor enhancements to the COINs exports to fix multiple author issue and missing abstract.

• Export to EndNote functionality added to RDA. Exports collection references in Research Information Systems (RIS) format.

• EndNote chosen as preferred reference manager as it provides support for a “DataSet” Reference Type.

• RIS is also supported by other reference management software (e.g. Zotero & Mendeley). However these tools don’t support a “DataSet” Reference Type and the import and display of the collection references is not ideal.

• Custom field used within “DataSet” Reference Type to store Rights information.

ORCID Import Wizard Enhancements

12

• Enhancements and tweaks to the interface with the emphasis on ensuring users review prior to importing collections to ORCID.

• Removed the “Import All” option.

• Checkboxes provided allowing users to select multiple collections for import.

• Mini review and import workflow implemented.

• Brief guidelines added to the page.

• “Already imported datasets” list is updated when users remove a reference from their ORCID profile.

• CitationMetadata added to search index.

New RDA Feedback Form

13

• Old Contact Us form was difficult to locate and quite basic.

• New form is available via a highly visible tab which is shown on every page of RDA.

• Provides users with a series of predefined request types to select from.

• Linked directly to Jira.

• New visible form will hopefully encourage RDA user engagement.
