The billing of the 2008 annual membership fees is coming up soon. Invoices will be mailed out in mid-December. We would also like to remind everyone that the CrossRef annual membership fees have increased for 2008.

2008 Billing Changes - please be aware that there are two key billing changes for 2008. The first is that the Annual Membership fees are changing
- there are increases in each of the fee categories and a new top tier. This is the first increase in fees in four years.

More information on the 2008 fees is available on the publishers' fee page:
http://www.crossref.org/02publishers/20pub_fees.html

The second change is that CrossRef will be offering the option of prepaying deposit fees at the beginning of the year.

This is a reminder that after 18 months of membership, all CrossRef members should have implemented reference/outbound linking.

Please visit the golive report http://www.crossref.org/06members/50go-live.html to see if you are listed as outbound linking. If you are outbound linking and have informed us of doing so, you should have a "yes" listed under the Reference Links Live column.

If you are in fact currently adding DOIs to the references in your publications in order to link out, but are not yet marked in the golive report as doing so, please let us know as soon as possible via an email message to annat@crossref.org. This will allow us to update our records appropriately.

If technical issues are preventing you from implementing outbound linking, please contact us and we will gladly help with the implementation.

The CrossRef Institutional Repositories Committee , chaired by Bernie Rous at ACM, has addressed the document versioning and citation problem by recommending that standard language be used when authors post versions of authoritative content to their personal home pages, to employer websites, or to Institutional Repositories. By being consistent in their instructions to authors CrossRef member publishers can help ensure that users can get to the authoritative version of the content and that a DOI is available to persistently cite the authoritative version.

The CrossRef Guidelines for Standard Citations in Author Postings (http://www.crossref.org/08downloads/author_guidelines.pdf) are available on the CrossRef website. General guidelines are available on the "Guidelines" page (http://www.crossref.org/02publishers/guidelines.html)
