Notice of amendments to Crossref membership terms and bylaws

In its March 2025 meeting, the Crossref board unanimously voted to update both the Crossref bylaws and the Crossref membership terms to:

  • Provide more clarity and alignment between our bylaws and membership terms, where they had become out of sync over the years.

  • Reflect previous board motions and bring both documents up-to-date with current processes for suspending and revoking membership, and reviewing those decisions.

  • Work towards being more explicit about what “Member Practices” should look like in terms of preserving the integrity of the scholarly record.

Metadata Advisory Group call for applications

We’ve been accelerating our metadata development efforts and recently released version 5.4 of our metadata schema, and are planning to release version 5.5 (including support for multiple contributor roles and the CRediT taxonomy) this summer. We will also extend our grants schema based on the Funders Advisory Group work, and make progress on other changes as set out on our new metadata development roadmap.

As we work towards the vision of the rich and reusable open network of relationships connecting research organizations, people, things, and actions, dubbed the Research Nexus, our schemas need to change to accommodate the evolving landscape of research processes and communications.

Webinars and events

Webinars and Events

We attend, speak at, and participate in a number of community events held by organizations in the scholarly community each year––held online and in person––such as conferences, workshops, hack days, and seminars You can also attend our regular online events which are a great way to find out more about the various Crossref services.

We also host our events under a program known as “Crossref LIVE.” We’ve recently changed our emphasis from broadcast/informational to learning/ listening to our membership community. Crossref LIVEs are free to attend and open to all who want to learn more about our services, with a program tailored to each country or segment of the community. At these events –– held online and in-person –– we also build time to have conversations with attendees and get feedback on what we’re doing right and what could be better.
