Case Study: IEEE strengthens article metadata integrity with Ringgold from Copyright Clearance Center

IEEE streamlines metadata with Ringgold using 770,000+ persistent identifiers

IEEE, a global professional organization, faced a challenge in disambiguating its vast amount of institutional organization data, which was difficult and time-consuming to manage manually. This hindered its ability to gain deeper customer insights and map authors to their correct organizations. To solve this, IEEE turned to vendor Copyright Clearance Center and its Ringgold service, part of the CCC Scholarly Communications Suite.

Copyright Clearance Center implemented Ringgold's database of over 770,000 persistent identifiers to standardize and disambiguate IEEE's organization records. This solution streamlined the submission process, eliminated manual disambiguation, and provided a linked hierarchy structure for improved reporting. As a result, IEEE strengthened the integrity of its article metadata, gained enhanced business intelligence for better customer relationships, and acquired the ability to guide customers toward more customized subscriptions.
