Add Unpaywall database to the Summon index
Unpaywall is a service which harvests Open Access content directly from over 50,000 repositories. It's rapidly becoming the leading source of information about legal OA content across the web.
Unpaywall offer a 'database snapshot', a complete dump of everything we know about every Open Access DOI that exists.
I think it would be a great idea for Summon to incorporate this data in its index. It would allow a much greater level of direct linking to Open Access content for all Summon users.
(It's already possible to integrate Unpaywall's API with 360link for individual, article-by-article requests.)
164 votesLinks directly to PDFs from Unpaywall are included in the November 2019 quarterly release. In 2020 we will expand on this functionality to include facet support and reporting.

Improve handling of duplicates with common titles
Currently, Summon prevents certain common titles from participating in the match & merge process if they are on the "Bad titles" list or the reach a certain count in the "Overmatch" algorithm. This process should be improved so that "real" titles are allowed to merge.
1 voteWe revised the match and merge rules around Overmatch as part of the upgrade to CDI. Hopefully this cleared up some of these issues. Please enter a new idea if there are specifics you’d still like to see included.

Merge Reference & Newsletter Types
Often we will see duplicate records because one is labeled Reference and the other is labeled e-book, or one is labeled an Article and the other is labeled a Newsletter. Allow multiple categories on a record and merge them.
1 voteWe now include Newsletters as part of the match and merge process; if enough of the records match, they should now merge.
