[OUP] Withdrawn of not? Metadata vs landing page

I reported metadata vs landing page discrepancies on PubPeer:

Hi Guillaume,

Thanks for your post.

I’ve adjusted your forum permissions, so you should be able to post links in the future.

In these cases, some information seems to have been lost in the midst of an ownership transfer for the Cardiovascular Research journal. All of these items were initially registered by Elsevier, and Elsevier added the “WITHDRAWN” in front of the article titles shortly after they were registered. And then shortly after that (all within the span of a year) the journal and all its DOIs were transferred to Oxford University Press.

And, whatever caused the addition of the “WITHDRAWN” was not clearly communicated to OUP. For their part, OUP has updated the resolution URLs several times in the intervening years, and added references, but they never submitted updates for the core bibliographic metadata, including the article titles.

We can pass this feedback along to our contacts at OUP with a request to bring the metadata and landing pages in synch as to whether the content is withdrawn or not.

Thank you Shayn for this valuable information and for offering to relay my concerns to OUP.
