Instead they produce Evidence Records The Percolator does the job of processing the Evidence Record into Events and inserting them into the system. You can read about the process in [Evidence Records](/data/evidence-records). -Some Agents, such as Crossref metadata and DataCite metadata, create Events directly from their internal databases and skip the Evidence Record stage. In the future, Agents operated by external parties may also do this. The reason for this is that Evidence Records exist to document how external data was processed, and to make transparent the internal processes within Event Data. When the data comes directly from the external source, we perform no extra processing, so there is nothing to document. External services which operate Agents may choose to record their own form of Evidence, but these will be different to the standardized Crossref Event Data Evidence Records. +Some Agents, such as Crossref Metadata and DataCite Metadata, create Events directly from their internal databases and skip the Evidence Record stage.
