- 15. Preprints • In July the board voted to accept preprints • Updated rules being reviewed tomorrow • Clarify best practice for: • Assigning DOIs to preprints and requirements for clear labelling and to link to published version - privilege the Version of Record • Assigning CR DOIs at acceptance and maintaining the same CR DOI for the formally published version. • Assigning separate DOIs to duplicative and derivative content such as re-publications, translations, annotated copies, etc.
- 16. Funding data • Changing a name - renaming FundRef - will use funding data and the Crossref Open Funder Registry • “FundRef” caused confusion - many thought it was separate from Crossref or a separate system. • Took focus away from all the metadata we are now collecting including: funder ID and grant number, authenticated ORCID iDs, licenses (embargoes), full text URL for TDM, CrossMark metadata, abstracts
- 17. What’s in store? • 2016 Budget • $7.2 million revenue (7% increase from 2015 YE) • $7.0 million expenses (21% increase from 2015 YE) - staff costs, new website, re-branding roll out • Full roll out of new branding and communications; new website; new manual deposit process, DET, DUL, Linked Clinical Trials, ORCID Auto Update, Participation Reports, international outreach, etc.
- 18. Collaboration & Engagement • Institutional Identifiers - ORCID, DataCite and others • I believe there is an opportunity for the scholarly community to come together and address the challenge of providing a stable persistent identifier for institutions. This conversation should clearly involve the existing stakeholders I have listed above. But a standard alone is insufficient for success; both ORCID and CrossRef demonstrate the need for organisational infrastructure, services and outreach in order to drive uptake and ensure success. • Richard Padley, Semantical - Digital Science - Perspectives • https://www.digital-science.com/blog/perspectives/on-the-benefits-of-institutional-identity-a- guest-post-by-richard-padley/
- 19. The future? • More (valuable) growth • More (thoughtful) change
Editor's Notes
- #3: Hello - for the next part of the agenda we’ll be providing Crossref updates and I’m very pleased that we’ll be hearing from Crossref two newest directors - Ginny Hendricks and Jennifer Lin. My theme today is growth and change at Crossref. Crossref is celebrating its 15th year - and this is actually the 16th Annual Meeting - and I’ve been to every single one - actually - the time has flown by - it’s been really interesting - things are always changing - and the pace of change is accelerating
- #4: So first of all I want to talk about the people at Crossref - they make everything happen. The team has grown but it has also changed - within a couple of weeks we will have 29 people - up 21% from 2014. Of those 29 - 9 of them - or 31% are new since last year - so we’ve got a lot of new blood. But importantly we’ve made strategic changes to our structure by creating to new director positions we’ve re-organized their teams.
- #5: Here is a high level view of our new structure - member and community outreach and product management are the two new teams and there are various new positions within those teams.
- #6: Here is our current ORG chart - the slides will be available online after the meeting if you want to look at this in detail. For 2016 we have three new positions budgeted - 2 developers - we are doing new things and enhancing and improving the existing services and system and a Relationship Manager to work with our Affiliates and the new Service Level Agreement models with DET and the Crossref API
- #7: And here is almost all the team at a staff dinner last night plotting world domination.
- #19: ORCID, DataCite, CHORUS, SHARE
