Books interest group

The Books Interest Group serves as a resource for Crossref and its participants to surface, discuss and make progress on metadata and workflow issues unique to book publishers. The group comprises Crossref members and nonmembers, and is led by a Chair and Crossref staff facilitators.

What we’re working on

This year, the group is focused on:

  • Reviewing book and chapter types in our metadata schema, as well as books representation in JSON outputs.
  • Best practice for books. This guide has had some recent revisions and work on it will continue this year.
  • Bringing others from the industry into discussions on topics of particular interest, such as books on multiple platforms.
  • Education and outreach: ongoing, with use cases of particular interest and most recently including Publisher Participation Reports

Suggestions for topics are welcome.
