Looking back over 2024, we wanted to reflect on where we are in meeting our goals, and report on the progress and plans that affect you - our community of 21,000 organisational members as well as the vast number of research initiatives and scientific bodies that rely on Crossref metadata.
In this post, we will give an update on our roadmap, including what is completed, underway, and up next, and a bit about what’s paused and why.
The Crossref2024 annual meeting gathered our community for a packed agenda of updates, demos, and lively discussions on advancing our shared goals. The day was filled with insights and energy, from practical demos of Crossrefâs latest API features to community reflections on the Research Nexus initiative and the Board elections.
Our Board elections are always the focal point of the Annual Meeting. We want to start reflecting on the day by congratulating our newly elected board members: Katharina Rieck from Austrian Science Fund (FWF), Lisa Schiff from California Digital Library, Aaron Wood from American Psychological Association, and Amanda Ward from Taylor and Francis, who will officially join (and re-join) in January 2025.
Background The Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure (POSI) provides a set of guidelines for operating open infrastructure in service to the scholarly community. It sets out 16 points to ensure that the infrastructure on which the scholarly and research communities rely is openly governed, sustainable, and replicable. Each POSI adopter regularly reviews progress, conducts periodic audits, and self-reports how theyâre working towards each of the principles.
In 2020, Crossrefâs board voted to adopt the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure, and we completed our first self-audit.
In June 2022, we wrote a blog post âRethinking staff travel, meetings, and eventsâ outlining our new approach to staff travel, meetings, and events with the goal of not going back to ânormalâ after the pandemic. We took into account three key areas:
The environment and climate change Inclusion Work/life balance We are aware that many of our members are also interested in minimizing their impacts on the environment, and we are overdue for an update on meeting our own commitments, so here goes our summary for the year 2023!
Setting up your iThenticate v2 account for use directly in the browser (admins only)

Setting up your iThenticate v2 account for use directly in the browser (admins only)
This section is for Similarity Check account administrators only. It explains how administrators need to set up the iThenticate v2 account for their organizations if they are planning to use iThenticate in the browser. You need to follow the steps in this section before you start to set up your users and share the account with your colleagues.
If you are using iThenticate v1 rather than iThenticate v2, take a look at the section for v1 account administrators.
If you intend to use iThenticate v2 through an integration with your Manuscript Submission System (MTS) instead, go to setting up your MTS integration.
Your personal administrator account in iThenticate v2
Once Turnitin has enabled iThenticate v2 for your organization, the main editorial contact provided on your application form will become the iThenticate account administrator.
You will receive an email from Turnitin with a link to set your credentials. The email will look like this:
Click on the blue âSet up my accountâ button at the bottom of the email. This will bring you to a page which looks something like this:
Fill out your username and password, and donât forget to tick to agree to the terms and conditions. You will then arrive at your new iThenticate v2 account.
How do you know if youâre an account administrator?
When you are logged in to iThenticate, what tabs can you see?
If you’re using iThenticate v2, you will only be able to see Users on the menu if you’re an account administrator.
So if you can’t see Manage Users or Users, youâre not an account administrator, and you can just read the user instructions for iThenticate v2 on the Turnitin website.
Updating your email address, username or password in the future
If you need to change your personal email address, username or password in the future, you can find instructions on the Turnitin website.
If you forgot your password and have never signed into your new v2 account, you’ll need to reach out directly to Turnitin’s support to have your password resent to you from Turnitin.
If you’ve already signed into your v2 account, but can’t remember your password, you can simply use the Forgot Password link on the login screen of your unique v2 website (https://crossref-xxx.turnitin.com, with xxx being your member ID).
