Update on the Resourcing Crossref for Future Sustainability research
Weāre in year two of the Resourcing Crossref for Future Sustainability (RCFS) research. This report provides an update on progress to date, specifically on research weāve conducted to better understand the impact of our fees and possible changes. Crossref is in a good financial position with our current fees, which havenāt increased in 20 years. This project is seeking to future-proof our fees by: Making fees more equitable Simplifying our complex fee schedule Rebalancing revenue sources In order to review all aspects of our fees, weāve planned five projects to look into specific aspects of our current fees that may need to change to achieve the goals above.
