Abstract

The rapid growth of scholarly information resources available in electronic form and their organisation by digital
libraries is proving fertile ground for the development of sophisticated new services, of which citation linking will be one
indispensable example. Many new projects, partnerships and commercial agreements have been announced to build
citation linking applications. This paper describes the Open Citation (OpCit) project, which will focus on linking papers
held in freely accessible eprint archives such as the Los Alamos physics archives and the other distributed archives, and
which will build on the work of the Open Archives initiative to make the data held in such archives available to
compliant services. The paper emphasises the work of the project in the context of emerging digital library information
environments, explores how a range of new linking tools might be combined and identifies ways in which different
linking applications might converge. Some early results of linked pages from the OpCit project are reported.
