Lynnfield, MA. December 05, 2006. -- CrossRef, the publisher linking association, is extremely pleased to announce the addition of Geoffrey Bilder to its management team. Bilder will assume the newly created role of Director of Strategic Initiatives at CrossRef in January of 2007.
According to Ed Pentz, CrossRef's Executive Director, "Geoffrey is an excellent addition to the CrossRef team - he is very smart and has a deep understanding of new technologies and how they affect scholarly publishing.
He will be able to play a large role in moving forward with several new CrossRef initiatives."
Bilder has been a Publishing Technology Consultant at Scholarly Information Strategies Ltd. since October of 2005. He has over 15 years experience as a technical leader in scholarly technology. He co-founded Brown University's Scholarly Technology Group in 1993 to provide advanced technology consulting on issues related to academic research, teaching and scholarly communication. He later served as head of R&D in the IT department of Monitor Group, a management consulting firm based in Cambridge, MA. From
2002 to 2005, Geoffrey was Chief Technology Officer at Ingenta. He has since worked and consulted extensively with publishers and librarians on how emerging social software technologies are likely to affect scholarly and professional researchers.
CrossRef is a non-profit membership association founded and directed by publishers. Its mission is to improve access to published scholarship through collaborative technologies. CrossRef operates a cross-publisher citation linking system, and is a registration agency for DOIs(R) (Digital Object Identifiers).

Lynnfield, MA. December 5, 2006. -- CrossRef, the multi-publisher linking association, announced today that it had reached agreement with three new partners to include journals from Africa and Asia in its linking network
The three international organizations collaborating with CrossRef are the International Network for the Availability of Scientific Publications (INASP) (http://www.inasp.info), the National Inquiry Services Centre (NISC) http://www.nisc.co.za and African Journals OnLine (AJOL), http://www.nisc.co.za.
INASP, an international NGO working to promote scientific publishing in developing countries, will initially register journals from Nepal and Vietnam, while NISC will register its entire list of South African-based academic journals and bibliographic databases. AJOL, a fast-growing, independent journal aggregator, currently represents over 260 multi-disciplinary journals from 21 African countries. CrossRef Executive Director, Ed Pentz commented, “For some time CrossRef has been exploring how it could partner with publishers and journal publishing initiatives in regions of the world where scholarship and publication output are less accessible. We believe offering CrossRef’s services on an affordable basis to qualified publishers in these regions links them with the global research literature and raises global visibility of and access to these journals.”
According to Pippa Smart, Head of Publishing Initiatives at INASP, which is a registered educational charity in the UK, “For journals that are largely invisible to most of the scientific community, the importance of linking cannot be overstressed. We at INASP are therefore delighted to be working with CrossRef to promote discovery of journals published in the less developed countries. We believe that an integrated discovery mechanism which includes journals from all parts of the world is vital to global research - benefiting not only the editors and publishers in Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America with whom we work, but countless other citizens in those countries as well.”
