Open access publishing is driving a complete new set of standards from version of publication, to identifiers for authors, funding bodies, and data management. Some standards have been fairly widely adopted such as ORCID whereas other standards like CrossMark have been slow to gain traction in the research communities. The standards are applied to different communities as outlined in this table:

3.1 Open Access Metadata & Indicators
3.2 ORCID
3.3 FundRef
3.4 CrossMark
3.5 Preservation & Storage Formats
3.6 Alternative Metric Schemes
