Publishers are reporting researchers are linking direct from the DOI shown in APO to full text articles on the publisher website. The APO database is currently being cleaned and validated with many changes. In addition authors are being brought together under one official name to facilitate a single view. New items are being added as part of the validation and cleanup of the database. In addition where possible Bitstreams are being added to the database to allow viewing of an item without following links. Notes are also being added to identify where hardcopy is available in the ANSTO Library.
