New faces at Crossref

Please help us welcome new faces at Crossref! Martyn, Sara, Laura, and Mark joined us very recently and we are happy they’re with us. Both Martyn and Sara have joined the Product team and this has given us the chance to reorganize the team into the following groups: content registration, scholarly stewardship, scholarly impact, metadata retrieval, and UX/UI leadership. Laura joined the Finance and Operations team to help make the billing process simple for our members. Mark joins the Technology team and one of his projects will be improving the Event Data service.

It is exciting to already see the impact of your contributions and look forward to what’s to come!

Community Outreach in 2020

2020 hasn’t been quite what any of us had imagined. The pandemic has meant big adjustments in terms of working; challenges for parents balancing childcare and professional lives; anxieties and tensions we never had before; the strain of potentially being away from co-workers, friends, and family for a prolonged period of time.

Come for a swim in our new pool of Education materials

After 20 years in operation, and as our system matures from experimental to foundational infrastructure, it’s time to review our documentation.

What happened at last month’s LIVE local in London

In OutreachCrossref LIVECommunity

So much has happened since we held LIVE16 (our annual meeting) in London last year that we wanted to check-in with our UK community and share the year’s developments around our tools, teams and services ahead of LIVE17 next month in Singapore.

And so, on 26th September we held a half-day ‘LIVE local', covering a wide range of strategic topics, well-attended by a diverse representation of our UK community of publishers, funders, researchers, and tool-makers.

What we discussed on the day:

This event was one in a series of smaller, regional events which aim to better cater to our global membership and provide a tailored program of activities. You can read more about this series of events on our LIVE locals page, and if you are interested in hosting an event near you or have suggestions for one in your region then please contact me to get involved.
