The programs approach: our experiences during the first quarter of 2025

At the end of last year, we were excited to announce our renewed commitment to community and the launch of three cross-functional programs to guide and accelerate our work. We introduced this new approach to work towards better cross-team alignment, shared responsibility, improved communication and learning, and make more progress on the things members need.

Version 5.4.0 metadata schema update now available

This year, metadata development is one of our key priorities and we’re making a start with the release of version 5.4.0 of our input schema with some long-awaited changes. This is the first in what will be a series of metadata schema updates.

What is in this update?

Publication typing for citations

This is fairly simple; we’ve added a ‘type’ attribute to the citations members supply. This means you can identify a journal article citation as a journal article, but more importantly, you can identify a dataset, software, blog post, or other citation that may not have an identifier assigned to it. This makes it easier for the many thousands of metadata users to connect these citations to identifiers. We know many publishers, particularly journal publishers, do collect this information already and will consider making this change to deposit citation types with their records.

2025 public data file now available

Every year we release metadata for the full corpus of records registered with us, which can be downloaded for free in a single compressed file. This is one way in which we fulfil our mission to make metadata freely and widely available. By including the metadata of over 165 million research outputs from over 20,000 members worldwide and making them available in a standard format, we streamline access to metadata about scholarly objects such as journal articles, books, conference papers, preprints, research grants, standards, datasets, reports, blogs, and more.

Browsable title list

The browsable title list provides an alphabetical list of journals, books, and conference proceedings for which Crossref has metadata, and is updated weekly. Browsing and searching may be limited by genre (all, journals, books, or conference proceedings) or search type (title, ISSN/ISBN, subject, or publisher). To search for a specific title, enclose the title in quotes, or search by ISSN.

Search results will include the following (when available):

  • Title (Journal/Book/Conf Proc): Title name. Journal titles are gray, book titles are green, and conference proceedings titles are purple.
  • Publisher: Publisher of the title as registered with us.
  • Print ISSN/ISBN: ISSN or ISBN (indicated by color) of the print version of the title.
  • Electronic ISSN/ISBN: ISSN or ISBN (indicated by color) of the electronic version of the title.
  • DOI: DOI assigned at the title level.

To review the results:

  • Click the Pink arrow down icon icon to view the year(s), volume(s), and issue(s) deposited with Crossref for a title
  • Click the Green arrow down icon icon to view alternative title information, abbreviated titles (if any), other ISSNs or ISBNs, subjects covered, and any coverage notes for this content item. This information is obtained from a third party and may not match data deposited with Crossref
  • To request a missed conflict report for a title, click the Blue chevrons right icon icon at the far right of the row

You can also download a comma-separated journal coverage list (warning: large file).
