link, assess, and reuse.



We’re a not-for-profit membership organization that
exists to make scholarly communications better.
Mission
• Over 11,000 member organizations

• Metadata store of over 100 million scholarly content items

• A DOI is just the start - We offer a wide array of services
to ensure that scholarly research metadata is registered,
linked, and distributed.

• We preserve the metadata we receive and make it
available via our open APIs and Search.
Crossref overview
Metadata, Open Access and More: Crossref presentation
Why do publishers join Crossref?
• To help get their content discovered

• Show people where their content is located and update that if/
when the content moves

• Drive more traffic to publications

• Find out who is using their content

• Participate in collaborative services
First steps
1. We send you a prefix and login
2. Review different methods for registering your metadata
Your prefix
• One prefix may be used for all content

• New titles may be added at any time

• No limit to the number of DOIs created, also no
minimum number is required. 

10.444410.55555
Persistent identifiers
https://doi.org/10.1006/jmbi.1995.0238

• The DOI directory: makes the DOI actionable on the web

• Prefix: assigned by Crossref

• Suffix: assigned by the publisher

Total DOI = routes through the DOI resolver to point to the registered
URL
Your landing page
• A full bibliographic citation so that the user can verify they have been
delivered to the correct item

• The DOI displayed as a URL, per display guidelines https://doi.org/
10.5555/12345678 

• A way to access full text: access to full text is completely controlled
by the publisher but the landing page must be accessible to everyone.
