A summary of our Annual Meeting

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 Crossref’s 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.

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!

Crossref Holds Annual Meeting - New Chairman of the Board and Treasurer Elected

LYNNFIELD, MA, September 25, 2003 - At its third annual meeting on September 15, 2003 in London Crossref announced that it had grown to over 240 member publishers with 8.9 million DOIs registered from 8,400 scholarly journals. That’s dramatic growth from the 6.5 million DOIs registered in 2002 and Crossref’s founding in 2000 with 12 initial members. User clicks on reference links enabled by the Crossref linking network have been running at over 3.5 million per month since February 2003. Crossref is having a demonstrable impact for readers of online scholarly content.

At its Board of Directors meeting following the Annual Meeting, the Publishers International Linking Association, the non-profit membership organization that runs the Crossref reference linking service, elected Anthony Durniak as Chairman and President. Durniak, Staff Executive of Publications for IEEE, has served as Crossref’s Treasurer since 2002. He replaces Pieter Bolman, who was Crossref’s founding Treasurer before being named Chair of the Crossref Board last year. Also elected were Robert Campbell, President of Blackwell Publishing, as Treasurer, and Edward Pentz, Executive Director, Crossref, as Secretary. A complete listing of the board is available.
