Introduction to CrossrefPatricia Feeney

Product Support Manager

Founded in 2000

A not-for-profit trade association of global

scholarly publishers

Members from over 80 countries

5770 international publishers & societies

76+ million DOIs registered

Why do publishers join CrossRef?

To get persistent identifiers for their

content

To drive more traffic to their content

To turn references into hyperlinks

To pull in cited-by links (who cites this?)

Participate in other collaborative services

and in (CrossCheck, CrossMark)

DOI = Digital Object Identifier

Uniquely identifies a digital object

Solves link rot (broken links)

76,288,012 Crossref DOIs!

* figures, tables, supplemental materials

Also: Standards, Working Papers, Dissertations, Datasets

International DOI Foundation (IDF):

oversees the central DOI system, promote

DOI as a standard, and provides an

organizational infrastructure that ensures

persistence and interoperability.

Corporation for National Research

Initiatives (CNRI): they (among other things)

are responsible for the Handle system, which

is the technology that causes DOIs to resolve.

Registration Agencies (RAs): Register

DOIs on behalf of other organizations.

CrossRef is a RA.

Deposit DOIs and metadata

Basic citation metadata:

author (s), journal title, article title, volume, issue,

publication date, book title, chapter title, page numbers,

article IDs, internal identifiers, ISSN, ISBN…

Optional (but recommended):

Funding information, ORCIDs, references (to support cited-

by linking), CrossMark metadata, text and data mining

license information

http://dx.doi.org/10.1666/09-114.1<- DOI

Prefix:

Assigned to members

Format is 10.XXXX (or

10.XXXXX)

Identifies who initially created

the DOI

Prefix does not identify the

current owner of the DOI

Suffix:

Unique within a prefix – a DOI can

only be assigned to one item

Publishing and displaying DOIs

Display CrossRef DOIs as a URL

Include CrossRef DOIs on response pages

(required), TOCs, abstracts, PDFs, citation

downloads, metadata feeds, social network

links

Do not publicize DOIs until links are live

Display DOIs

Response page must include:

bibliographic information about the item

means to access full text

There is no charge for updating your DOIs – we encourage you to

update them as often as needed.

Acquire a title from a Crossref member? DO NOT create new DOIs

for existing content.

Resolve all conflicts

Conflict: two (or more) DOIs share the same

metadata, suggesting two DOIs are assigned to a

single item.

Recurring reports:

As-needed reports:
