CrossRef Workshops Publisher Participation Segment - Call for Volunteers

A large portion of the Workshops day will be devoted to CrossRef staff discussing how things work on our end and what we expect from our members but we'd also like to hear from you. We are looking for a few volunteers to round out the publisher participation segment of our Workshops. Possible topics include but are not limited to:

* an overview of the processes and tools you use to deposit and/or query with CrossRef
* how DOIs are integrated into your editorial workflow
* how you manage and maintain your outbound links
* any special projects you have planned (or are planning) such as cited-by linking.

Presentations should be 10-15 minutes long, and we hope to generate some healthy discussion. If you are interested in participating, please contact Patricia Feeney (pfeeney@crossref.org)
