Translated articles in the CrossRef database
CrossRef is an organization of scientific publishers that manages the Digital Object Identifiers given to scientific articles.
* We have 4142 translations, while only 2152 articles have a translation, the main difference is the year 2021, where we have many Russian journals published translations.
* Likely these journals (especially the Russian ones with entries for 2021) also have translations for other/earlier years. As it is a limited set, we could contact them.
* The publisher with most translations is https://www.pleiades.online/, which is a publisher that specializes on translating Russian articles into English.
* Looks like publishers add translations together when the original is published, but to not go back into their catalogs to add older translations. For example, Pleiades Publishing states it is an international group of companies founded in 1971. But we only have recent translations, while translations are their main focus.
* It looks suspicious that the first year (2008) with translations is so recent and has so many translations. But it seems to be okay, They are all publications in e-Anatomy by the publisher IMAIOS, which publishes an anatomical atlas. https://www.imaios.com/en/e-Anatomy
* Many translations have a URI, not a DOI. Especially when you look at the number of translations (rather than the number of translated works). The ones with an URI tend to have multiple translations. Information on these translations (language, title, translator, ...) will have to be scrapped. Example:
> id-type id asserted-by
> uri https://www.imaios.com/es/e-Anatomy subject
> uri https://www.imaios.com/de/e-Anatomy subject
> uri https://www.imaios.com/fr/e-Anatomy subject
> uri https://www.imaios.com/br/e-Anatomy subject
> uri https://www.imaios.com/cn/e-Anatomy subject
> uri https://www.imaios.com/jp/e-Anatomy subject
> uri https://www.imaios.com/ru/e-Anatomy subject
> uri https://www.imaios.com/pl/e-Anatomy subject
