Available updates from online sources and PRSAvailable updates from online sources and PRS

Due to differences in the default scheduling of, and the data state against which checks are made, the Available updates for online import sources (daily/live data) and the QABO Scopus Publication Update Job (weekly/snapshot data), and the aggressive matching processes of the Available updates for online import sources job, it is highly likely that the suggested updates from Available updates for online import sources may precede updates added by the QABO job. If any of the suggested metadata updates are accepted through normal use of the Available updates for online import sources job, the QABO job, as designed, will not look for updates on the specific metadata fields of the records that were updated or modified by the Available updates for online import sources job.

Recommendations:

• For PRS customers that rely on the QABO Scopus Publication Update Job to update records from Scopus, it is recommended not to enable the Available updates for online import sources job to avoid any inadvertent modifications.
• If PRS customers would still like to enable the job, it is recommended that Scopus is excluded from the list of import sources to be used by the Available updates for online import sources job (see section on Configuration options).
• If PRS customers would still like to enable the job, and have Scopus as an import source to be used by the Available updates for online import sources job, please contact the Pure Support team.
