Kathleen joined Crossref in May 2019 as part of the member experience team. She previously worked at the University of Hawaii Libraries, managing their instiutional repositories and Open Access policy. She also spent some time working in Open Access publishing at PLOS in San Francisco. When not immersed in scholarly communications and metadata, Kathleen can be found in the ocean (usually on a surfboard) or with her nose in a book.
Tl;dr Crossref is taking over the service management of Similarity Check from Turnitin. That means we’re your first port of call for questions and your agreement will be direct with us. This is a very good thing because we have agreed and will continue to agree the best possible set-up for our collective membership. Similarity Check participants need to take action to confirm the new terms with us as soon as possible and before 31st August 2019.
