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.

2024 POSI audit

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 they’re working towards each of the principles. In 2020, Crossref’s board voted to adopt the Principles of Open Scholarly Infrastructure, and we completed our first self-audit.

Summary of the environmental impact of Crossref

In June 2022, we wrote a blog post “Rethinking staff travel, meetings, and events” outlining our new approach to staff travel, meetings, and events with the goal of not going back to ‘normal’ 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!

Crossref Surpasses 10 Million DOI Mark

19 January 2004

LYNNFIELD, MA, January 19, 2004 – Crossref, the cross-publisher reference linking service, announced today that it has surpassed the 10 million DOI mark. This million-mark milestone is significant because over 10 million content items have been registered in the Crossref system since 2001. The majority of these DOIs are assigned to journal articles. However, Crossref is also registering DOIs for a wide variety of record types, including several hundred thousand conference proceeding and book DOIs already in its database.

The 10 millionth DOI registered was http://0-dx-doi-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/10.1265/ehpm.8.184 from the Japanese Society for Hygiene.

Among the other record types now included in Crossref are the new Molecule Pages produced by Nature Publishing Group and the Alliance for Cellular Signaling. To see a DOI in action from the Molecule Pages, click on http://0-dx-doi-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/10.1038/nature01307.

Growth in Crossref has been steady and significant. According to Ed Pentz, Crossref’s Executive Director, “Growth in DOI links is also expected to continue increasing at a steady rate because of Crossref’s ability to integrate with the OpenURL and our recent decision to drop DOI retrieval fees in 2004.” To date 265 publishers, 218 libraries, and 36 vendors currently participate in Crossref.
