- First just a few words about CrossRef for anyone who isn’t a member or might not be familiar with us as an organization. CrossRef is a not-for-profit membership organization of international scholarly publishers. We have 4000 member publishers, representing all disciplines - not just STM, and comprising commercial publishers, academic societies, open access publishers, university presses. We also have 83 affiliate members and 2000 library affiliates - these libraries and other organisations make use of the CrossRef database to look up DOIs and metadata. We are the largest DOI registration agency and have assigned nearly 62 million DOIs to date, including journal articles, books and book chapters, conference proceedings, theses, and data sets.
- Why is membership growing steadily? Because publishers think that having DOIs will increase their visibility in the scholarly community. We have 1900 voting members, representing 4600 publishers. One of our members is NEJM/Mass Medical Society. They joined at the very beginning, in October 2001
- In other words, traffic generated to publishers by DOIs. This is why we have organizations at the gate wanting to join.
- Departments Technical Finance & Operations Marketing & Business Development Strategic Initiatives Product Management
- The distribution is so skewed the scale is logarithmic
- Diversity includes by subject area (i.e. the humanities), geographical, and content type (i.e. books)
- There is a higher level of trust needed for a sponsor than a member. We need to make sure they understand. We haven’t done much marketing of this, but we could do. It’s complicated to explain and we don’t want just anyone. What we should do is market to new members that they can work with a Sponsor.
- This means that instead of dealing with 1357+ people in organizations, we deal with 25 of them. It also makes implementation and compliance better
