Strengthening support for data citations and saying goodbye to Event Data - Crossref

We’re excited to announce a new data citation API endpoint and are seeking your feedback. The new service makes existing data citation relationships in our metadata available, thereby surfacing this part of the research nexus. At the same time, we’ve decided that it’s time to move on from Event Data.

On metadata enrichment - Crossref

Metadata is communication; it can tell a story about research and paint a picture for others to respond to and learn from, across the world and throughout the forthcoming generations. Metadata can feel technical with words like ‘infrastructure’ and ‘schema’, and sometimes, like tech in general, it comes with hyperbole. But metadata really is part art (storytelling and pictures) and part science (structured models and standards) with both aspects being equally important, and requiring people as w

Reflections from the Crossref Ambassador Community - Crossref

Crossref Ambassadors act as local points of contact, meeting editors, librarians, researchers, and institutions to help them navigate Crossref services and understand how strong metadata supports visibility, integrity, and trust in research. They explain how to participate in our rich network of connections between works, people, and institutions, in ways that make sense in their own contexts. And last year, being our 25th anniversary, Ambassadors also massively contributed to our celebrations!

Ticket of the month - February 2026 - If Google can’t find it, is my DOI registered?

We see versions of the question “Is my DOI registered?” all the time. Because it’s such a fundamental part of the process, it’s easy to assume everyone else just “gets it,” and members have worked up all different ways to check their DOIs, some more reliable than others. But because the answer to this question is so definitive, it’s worth returning to the fundamentals. For this Ticket of the Month, we’re going back to the basics for everyone and I, as a new tech support specialist, am learning

Reflections from Bangkok - Crossref

Each organization in the global community of Crossref members (that’s currently over 25k organizations in 166 different countries) plays a key role in building the Research Nexus. Any opportunity we have to meet with our members in person is a highlight and a way for us to learn more from each other. The month of January saw three of us travel to Bangkok to attend the first-ever Charleston Conference organised in Asia and to meet with our growing community in Thailand.

What "basic bibliographic information" should my landing pages include? - Membership Ticket of the Month - March 2026

Crossref’s guidelines say that each object for which a DOI record is registered (each article, each chapter, each dataset, each book, etc.) needs to have its own landing webpage with a unique URL. We talked (a lot) more about landing pages and their requirements in a Membership Ticket of the Month from two years ago. If you recall, a landing page must include three elements: 1) basic bibliographic information about the object for which the DOI is registered, 2) some way to access the article fu
