Do we need direct access to WoS & PubMed to meet the data coverage & quality dashboard requirements?

What data does PubMed and WoS have that SUL-Pub is not harvesting?

• PubMed offers full text for some OA publications.

Does SUL-Pub validate publication coverage? e.g. if the same publication (same doi) is available in PubMed and WoS, will the publication data exported from SUL-Pub reflect this?

• There is a provenance column but it is unclear to me how the source is chosen? Is it whichever gets harvested first or does one API have priority when available?

We do not expect new publications from direct connections since sul-pub already queries WoS and Pubmed by ORCID.

So the question is: is the metadata we have from sul-pub sufficient to provide data coverage without having to go directly to APIs?

[peetucket]

sul-pub doesn't indicate which query was used to find a publication (e.g. by name vs by orcid)

if we only search OpenAlex and Dimensions by ORCID, to compare equally across all sources, we'd need to run the same type of query against WoS

Leaning towards adding WoS and Pubmed as additional connections via direct calls to API
