16. Crossref is now….
• Metadata source on compliance with funder mandates -
Crossref has extended the metadata it collects and its APIs
to enable funders, institutions, publishers and researchers to
track compliance with mandates
• Solution to the problem of bi-lateral relationships -
Funders will need to track outputs from thousands of
publishers and publishers need a standard and efficient way
to demonstrate conformance to thousands of funders. All
spanning disciplines, institutions, geographies and
jurisdictions.
17. Crossref has….
• Updated the metadata it collects to be a central source of
standard, authoritative metadata to track outputs of research
- it’s NOT just funding information but also licensing and full
text links and other information
• Updated the Crossref API (http://api.crossref.org/) so that
funders, institutions, publishers and researchers can all use
the same metadata to track a wide range of scholarly content
• This only works if publishers supply the appropriate
metadata and follow the specified metadata deposit
workflows.
18. Update metadata and URLs
• There are no charges for updates
• Acquire a title from another Crossref member?
• DO NOT create new DOIs for existing content
19. Actively manage Crossref interactions

And the key to Crossref
fulfilling its mission
Good morning - I’d like to welcome everyone here today. It’s great to see so many people. We’ve got a great agenda of workshops and case studies today followed by the main annual meeting tomorrow. But the other thing I want to mention is that the Crossref staff are here so please take the opportunity to talk to them and ask them questions during the workshops but also during the breaks and lunch.
The has always been the idea of what constitutes Best Practice for Crossref but over the last couple of years ‘best practice’ for Crossref has been changing
talk about best practice from a strategic point of view as well as diving into some specifics. one side of best practice is correct XML formatting, correct and complete metadata and issues that we talk about a lot. But all the services that Crossref offer depend on our members following best practice - and this is the key to Crossref fulfilling its mission. Now you may have noticed Crossref has a new logo - which is fantastic - but we’ve also given a lot of thought to how we describe Crossref and how to simplify it.
Best practice enables all of this.
