We closely monitor community feedback and work in partnership with industry bodies to promote publishing industry standards. Some of the steps we have taken include:

- Following OpenURL industry standards
- Complying with COUNTER 5 requirements
- Ensuring databases are compatible with reference management software such as EndNote and RefWorks
- Supporting the principles of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics)
- Supplying book industry-standard metadata by ONIX (V2.1 and V3.0)
