Crossref

We are partnering with the Association of African Universities (AAU) on a new three-part webinar series exploring how rich #metadata can strengthen African scholarly publishing. In the first session, our colleague Madhura S. Amdekar, PhD looks at how Crossref's open infrastructure and metadata services help publishers and institutions strengthen research integrity and increase the reach of their scholarly outputs, improving visibility, discoverability, and trustworthiness along the way.

We're planning our #Crossref2026 annual meeting and board election on 22 October. What would help you join the discussions? Vote in the poll, or share your thoughts in the comments.

The Crossref Service Providers Program is open for applications. Free to join, two tiers (Basic and Advanced), built for organisations that enable content registration for our members. Details on our blog. https://lnkd.in/d9GM872C #researchmetadata

If you're a research funder tracking open science commitments or monitoring policy compliance, this one is for you. On 7 July, our colleague Rocio Gaudioso Pedraza will walk you through how funding metadata and the Grant Linking System turns #research information into assets that support strategic decision-making. The session is designed for funders who are new to Crossref, familiar with funding metadata but not yet leveraging it, or existing members who are curious about registering their grants. 📅 7 July 2026 - 5:00 AM UTC 🔗 Register https://lnkd.in/eNGUZYfU #ResearchFunding #OpenScience #PersistentIdentifiers #GrantData

Si eres una agencia de financiación, universidad o fundación que aporta fondos a la investigación y desea hacer seguimiento de los mismos esta sesión es para ti. Únete a Crossref el 7 de julio para explorar el papel de los metadatos de financiación en la creación de un registro académico completo e íntegro. En la sesión cubriremos como los metadatos de financiación y el Grant Linking System convierten metadatos en activos que pueden respaldar la toma de decisiones estratégicas. La sesión está diseñada para agencias financiadoras que quieran saber más sobre metadatos, aquellas que están familiarizadas con los metadatos pero aun no los están aprovechando o miembros de Crossref que tienen curiosidad por registrar sus actividades de financiación. 🔗 Registro https://bit.ly/4etghdv

Every update we make brings us closer to a richer, more connected scholarly record. 🔗 Read about our journey to building better connections https://lnkd.in/eqBR2e-x and keep an eye 👀 out for the schema 5.5 announcement soon. #MetadataDevelopment #ResearchNexus

🔊Librarians and editorial teams What’s the most important contextual information that’s not easy to capture in metadata? ☝️We’ll go first 👀 How much of time do you have, we have a list this big 🫸           🫷 And we’re working on shortening that list with richer metadata that can support more of the context surrounding research outputs.

The behind-the-scenes platforms and numerous plugins and integrations that make scholarly communications run—hosting systems, submission/review tools, grant proposal systems—do the background work that turns research objects into metadata that the wider community can reuse. When they do it well, the whole ecosystem benefits. The new Crossref Service Providers accreditation program is open for applications. Any platform that works with (or wants to work with) our infrastructure can now signal the quality of their work by becoming Crossref-accredited. Members get clearer signals about whom to trust with their work and their budgets. Service Providers already doing excellent work get formal recognition for it, and others get a clearer bar to meet.

🎉We have officially re-launched our Service Providers Program. Do you 🫵 provide tools that support registration of rich metadata for Crossref members’ records? Read more about the new program and how to apply on our blog 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d9GM872C We look forward to working together to support richer metadata and seamless infrastructure workflows. #CrossrefServiceProviders #CommunityManagement #Community Madhura S.

Thank you to the Crossref team for their support, enthusiasm, and belief in our mission! We're excited to build together to test the limits of what’s possible for high-volume, high-granularity DOI management. Our goal is to get working prototypes in front of real use cases as quickly as we can — and answer the technical, UX, operational, and infrastructure questions through that process. If you have a use case or want to be involved in the design process, get in touch! https://lnkd.in/eT-E4ZES
