Persistent identifier coverage in the humanities: a gap analysis

Authors
Abstract
Coverage lags the sciences by a wide margin, driven largely by monograph and edited-volume publishing that existing identifier schemes handle poorly. The analysis draws on a corpus assembled from institutional repositories, preprint servers and publisher metadata feeds, and the full dataset together with the code needed to reproduce every figure is deposited under a permissive licence. Limitations, including coverage gaps in non-English sources, are set out in the discussion.
