Abstract
This ongoing project aims to evaluate the quality and completeness of publisher-generated metadata in Spanish law journals by comparing records from Crossref and OpenAlex with those curated by Dialnet, a major Spanish bibliographic platform. Using a mixed-methods approach, we analyze metadata elements such as authorship, abstracts, references and ORCID identifiers across a corpus of journals. The expected findings may help identify inconsistencies and gaps, particularly in metadata standardization and completeness, which hinder the discoverability and interoperability of legal scholarship.
