## Why Metadata Compliance Matters



Open access grants and transformation contracts with publishers increasingly require licensing metadata.



General metadata recommendations:

- [ESAC Guidelines for Transformative Agreements](https://esac-initiative.org/about/transformative-agreements/guidelines-for-transformative-agreements/)

- [Crossref: Recommended journal metadata]( https://www.crossref.org/get-started/content-registration/journal-metadata/)

- [METADATA 2020: Negotiate metadata in contracts](https://metadata2020.org/do-more/negotiate-in-contracts/)
