GOKb Review Request: No 1st class ID supplied and no match could be made on title name

Full text of review request

No 1st class ID supplied and no match could be made on title name.

Description

This review task is generated when a title imported through OpenRefine has no first class identifier (ISSN, e-ISSN, DOI, or ISBN) and does not match any titles that already exist in GOKb. In this case a new title record will be created in GOKb.

Solution

  1. Do a title search in GOKb to determine whether a duplicate record exits for this title.
  2. If no duplicate title exists, you can leave the existing record as is and close the review task.
  3. If a duplicate title exists:
    1. Delete the newly-created title and TIPP.
    2. Create a new TIPP for the existing title.
    3. Add the title that prompted the review task as a variant title on the existing title record. This should force a match during future updates.
    4. Close the review task.
