CrossRef has been active in Brazil since 2008, depositing DOIs for journal articles and conference papers from the University of Minas Gerais. Some key initiatives include mapping the visibility of UEM's journals, planning for internationalization of Brazilian scientific output, and advising on indexing journals in the Web of Science and Scopus. CrossRef has also partnered with organizations like CNPq and IBICT on projects integrating DOIs into systems like Lattes and OJS. Over 4,500 DOIs have been assigned to Brazilian content. The benefits of CrossRef participation include improved interoperability, metadata quality, and internationalization of Brazilian research. Challenges include ensuring high visibility of content
