Seeing your place in the Research Nexus

Having joined the Crossref team merely a week previously, the mid-year community update on June 14th was a fantastic opportunity to learn about the Research Nexus vision. We explored its building blocks and practical implementation steps within our reach, and within our imagination of the future. Read on (or watch the recording) for a whistlestop tour of everything ā€“ from what on Earth is Research Nexus, through to how itā€™s taking shape at Crossref, to how you are involved, and finally ā€“ to what concerns the community surrounding the vision and how weā€™re going to address that.

Announcing our new Head of Strategic Initiatives: Dominika Tkaczyk

TL;DR A year ago, we announced that we were putting the “R” back in R&D. That was when Rachael Lammey joined the R&D team as the Head of Strategic Initiatives.

Of course, you might already know her. We will also immediately start recruiting for a new Principal R&D Developer to work with Esha and Dominika on the R&D team.

This changed drastically in March 2020, when we had to stop traveling and stop having in-person meetings and events.

The day I received my learner driver permit, I remember being handed three things: a plastic thermosealed reminder that age sixteen was not a good look on me; a yellow L-plate sign as flimsy as my driving ability; and a weighty ā€˜how to driveā€™ guide listing all the things that I absolutely must not, under any circumstances, even-if-it-seems-like-a-really-swell-idea-at-the-time, never, ever do.

Everyone is invited to our free annual event this 1-2 November in London. (Register here)! In years past, only Crossref members typically attended theĀ [Crossref Annual Meeting](/crossref-live-annual).Ā This year, we looked at the event with new eyes. We realized that weā€™d have even richer conversations, more creative energy, and the meeting would be even better for our membersĀ if we could rally the entire community together. So we decided to re-develop our annual event from the ground-up.
