Stepping up our deposit processing game

Some of you who have submitted content to us during the first two months of 2021 may have experienced content registration delays. We noticed; you did, too. The time between us receiving XML from members, to the content being registered with us and the DOI resolving to the correct resolution URL, is usually a matter of minutes. Some submissions take longer - for example, book registrations with large reference lists, or very large files from larger publishers can take up to 24 to 48 hours to process.

Discuss all things metadata in our new community forum

TL;DR: We have a Community Forum (yay!), you can come and join it here: community.crossref.org. Community is fundamental to us at Crossref, we wouldn’t be where we are or achieve the great things we do without the involvement of you, our diverse and engaged members and users. Crossref was founded as a collaboration of publishers with the shared goal of making links between research outputs easier, building a foundational infrastructure making research easier to find, cite, link, assess, and re-use.

Event Data: A Plan of Action

Event Data uncovers links between Crossref-registered DOIs and diverse places where they are mentioned across the internet.

We’ve collected events for several years and make them openly available via an API for anyone to access, as well as creating open logs of how we found each event.

Executive committee

The Executive Committee is made up of the Chair, Treasurer and three other board members, one who has to be a representative of a non-profit member. The Executive committee has three major functions, to:

  1. Steer: create and review agendas for discussion and decision by the Board.
  2. Oversee: evaluate key performance indicators and suggest corrective actions between Board meetings.
  3. Expedite: take any decisions delegated to it by the board. This usually happens after full board discussion reaches a consensus on a major initiative and wants open details resolved before the next board meeting.

Executive Committee members

  • Scott Delman, ACM (Chair)
  • Catherine Mitchell, CDL (Treasurer)
  • Melissa Harrison, eLife
  • Rose L’Huillier, Elsevier
  • Reshma Shaikh, Springer Nature
