CrossRef Non-Linking Fees
|
Non-Linking Fee |
After April 1, 2003 |
| After 18 months of joining CrossRef, if a member is not linking a majority of its current journal content, a charge of 22 cents per article deposited in the system will be imposed (if a member is not depositing yet, then the charge will be based on the estimated number of journal articles published the previous year). The charge will be billed on an annual basis and will cease if linking begins. The fee is non-refundable and will not be offset against future retrieval fees. |
|
| In order for the CrossRef system to function efficiently and fairly, CrossRef members must both deposit their online content (to allow other members to link to them) and link their journal references (to link to other members). CrossRef is happy to work with members who are not linking due to technical barriers. | |
DOI Conflict Penalty Fee
|
DOI Conflict Penalty Fee (New) |
|
| DOI Conflict Penalty Fee: $2.00 per conflict, to be charged at CrossRef's discretion. As stated in CrossRef's DOI Guidelines (http://www.crossref.org/02publishers/doi-guidelines.pdf) it is our policy that only one DOI be created for a given work. However, it is very difficult to prevent the assignment of multiple DOIs to the same work owing to the reliability and consistency of the metadata provided in a deposit and to accepted publisher practices. For further information please refer to the following document (http://www.crossref.org/02publishers/DOIConflicts.pdf). |
|
| A conflict exists when two or more DOIs have been assigned to the same logical work as represented by identical metadata or when subtle metadata differences may exist (e.g. a slight variation in the publication title or style differences in the item title). |
Background on Fees
CrossRef is a service run by Publishers International Linking Association, Inc. (PILA), an independent membership
organization comprised of publishers of original scholarly material. Fees are subject to change without notice.
Note: there is no charge to end-user (or publisher) for following a DOI link
*Notes on definition of "Total Publishing Revenue":
- Total publishing revenue includes all publishing revenue from all the divisions of an organization (primary and secondary)
for all types of activities (advertising, books, journals, databases, article charges, etc). For membership organizations,
member dues allocated to subscriptions will be included in total publishing revenue. - For organizations that publish scholarly information as an ancillary activity, such as government organizations, the higher
of either (1) total expenses for publishing operations or (2) gross publishing revenue should be used in determining the
appropriate membership fee.
- The member is considered to be the largest legal entity rather than a division.
- Membership fee billing for 2004 and forward will be done on a calendar year basis.
- Members will self-categorize.
General Policies
- Publishers must deposit metadata from all their online journals in the CrossRef system.
- Before retrieving DOIs for references in articles, Members must deposit the article metadata in the CrossRef system.
In other words, in order to link from an article, the metadata for that article must be deposited in the CrossRef system
so that others can link to the article. - It is an obligation of CrossRef membership to link references in scholarly journals using DOIs.
- Organizations with both primary and secondary divisions only need to pay one annual fee based on total publishing revenue.
- Secondary divisions affiliated with primary-division publishers will not be allowed to retrieve DOIs unless the
primary-division publisher deposits metadata for its journals. - Members and non-members may "cache" retrieved DOIs (i.e. store them in their local systems).
- Members may appoint Agents to act on their behalf with CrossRef (registering metadata, looking up DOIs).
An Agent can represent any number of members.
Note: CrossRef reserves the right to amend these fees in future.
