  • Consider integrating the creation of title and chapter-level metadata records in Thoth early in your publishing workflow, to ensure detailed, high-quality metadata records are available right at the time of online publication for your books.
  • Refer to Thoth’s mandatory, recommended and optional elements to make sure your metadata records can be submitted to your selected platforms.
  • Review and maintain the metadata, keeping it clean, complete, and up-to-date. Incorrect or incomplete metadata records can negatively impact downstream dissemination workflows, and thus reduces the discoverability, reusability, and credibility of your presses’ valuable contributions to the scholarly record content.

The Thoth Wiki has been developed in the context of the COPIM (Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs) project. Individual contributions to the wiki have been made by Tim Elfenbein, Joanne Fitzpatrick, Rupert Gatti, Ross Higman, Hannah Hillen, Brendan O'Connell, Tobias Steiner, and Vincent W.J. van Gerven Oei under the general editorship of Van Gerven Oei.
