Mandate:
The CrossRef Advisory Board (or CAB) will consist of members of the academic, library, corporate, and vendor community
who have demonstrated expertise and vision on new directions in scholarly publishing. CAB is intended to serve as an an
open forum for discussion with the CrossRef staff and Board of Directors about the behavior of researchers, and their
evolving publishing and communication needs. Discussion will cover a broad range of issues in scholarly communications
today, with a special focus on topics that pertain to then-current strategic initiatives at CrossRef. Such topics may include
(but are not strictly limited to) ongoing technical developments at CrossRef; citation linking and indexing; identifier registries;
institutional repositories and the changing role of libraries; document versioning and authentication; and metadata use,
quality, and standards.
