Abstract

This study aimed to characterize the current status of a variety of digital standards in medical journals published in Korea in 2016.A total of 256 journals listed as member journals of the Korean Association of Medical Journal Editors were searched to evaluate the following items: an independent journal homepage domain; an e-submission system; the use of digital object identifiers (DOIs), CrossMark, and FundRef; the availability of text and data mining; the presence of Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) information, an open access declaration, and the language of the journal.The search was carried out from July 29 to 30, 2016.Independent journal homepage domains were found for 190 of the 256 journals (74.1%).Of the journals, 216 were equipped with an e-submission system (84.4%), and 218 journals used DOIs (85.2%).CrossMark and FundRef were used in 105 journals (41.0%), text and data mining were available for 31 journals (11.1%),ORCID identifiers were present in 24 journals (9.4%), and an open access declaration according to a Creative Commons license was present for 199 journals (77.8%).The number of English-language journals was 130 (50.8%).Open access journals and English-language journals were found to have implemented more digital standards than non-open access journals and Korean-language journals respectively.The above results demonstrate that digital standards have been rapidly implemented by a considerable number of medical journals in Korea.In order to facilitate the more active promotion of journals to the international level, more journals should utilize these standards.The use of full-text JATS (journal article tag suite) XML is recommended for the easy adoption of DOIs, CrossMark, FundRef, and ORCID.
