Research Integrity Roundtable 2024

For the third year in a row, Crossref hosted a roundtable on research integrity prior to the Frankfurt book fair. This year the event looked at Crossmark, our tool to display retractions and other post-publication updates to readers. Since the start of 2024, we have been carrying out a consultation on Crossmark, gathering feedback and input from a range of members. The roundtable discussion was a chance to check and refine some of the conclusions we’ve come to, and gather more suggestions on the way forward.

How good is your matching?

In our previous blog post in this series, we explained why no metadata matching strategy can return perfect results.

Imagine a database of scholarly metadata that needs to be enriched with identifiers, such as ORCIDs or ROR IDs.

Update on the Resourcing Crossref for Future Sustainability research

We’re in year two of the Resourcing Crossref for Future Sustainability (RCFS) research. This report provides an update on progress to date, specifically on research we’ve conducted to better understand the impact of our fees and possible changes. Crossref is in a good financial position with our current fees, which haven’t 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, we’ve planned five projects to look into specific aspects of our current fees that may need to change to achieve the goals above.

Size is determined based on the organization’s membership tier (small members fall in the $0-$1,650 tiers and large members in the $3,900 - $50,000 tiers).

ALPSP announces winners of 2008 Awards

The winners of the 2008 Awards were announced at the ALPSP International Conference Dinner on Thursday 11 September.

ALPSP Award for Service to Scholarly Publishing Was awarded by the Council of ALPSP to Kurt Paulus as a great ‘unsung hero’ of scholarly publishing – who has quietly made an enormous contribution both at the publisher he served for almost all of his career, in the community and in his work for ALPSP as Treasurer and Editor of Learned Publishing.

ALPSP Award for Publishing Innovation
Was awarded to CrossCheck from the Crossref/iParadigms Partnership. This new antiplagiarism service enhances the crucial issue of trust necessary in a robust scholarly publishing system, and provides a further demonstration of the value and reassurance which the formal publication process can offer to authors, readers, and research funders.

A Highly Commended Certificate was awarded to Bioscience Horizons from Oxford Journals. This new journal potentially unlocks the value of research undertaken by undergraduates by giving unprecedented global exposure to the best of it.

Also shortlisted were: OECD.Stat from the Organisation for Economic and Co-operation Development; Ringgold Institutional Identifier from Ringgold Ltd; and Routine authoring and publication of enhanced figures from the International Union of Crystallography.

ALPSP Award for Best New Journal ** Was awarded to the Journal of Informetrics published by **Elsevier. The judges commented that this is an excellent example of the research and planning needed when launching a new journal, combined with the attention needed to integrate it into a particular research community.

The judges awarded a Highly Commended Certificate to ACS Nano published by the American Chemical Society which demonstrated impressive implementation and results from a highly professional new journal launch.

Also shortlisted were: Industrial and Organizational Psychology: Perspectives on Science and Practice (IOP), published by Wiley-Blackwell for the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology and the International Journal of Managing Projects in Business published by Emerald Group Publishing.
