href=/blog/research-integrity-roundtable-2024/>Research Integrity Roundtable 2024</a></h3><p>For the third year in a row, Crossref hosted a roundtable on research integrity prior to the Frankfurt book fair. This year the event looked at Crossmark, our tool to display retractions and other post-publication updates to readers. Since the start of 2024, we have been carrying out a consultation on Crossmark, gathering feedback and input from a range of members. The roundtable discussion was a chance to check and refine some of the conclusions we’ve come to, and gather more suggestions on the way forward.</p></div><a href=/blog/research-integrity-roundtable-2024/ class=nav2019__post-readmore>...Find out more</a></div><div class="nav-col nav2019__post"><img class=profile-pic src=https://www.crossref.org//images/staff/dominika-thumbnail.jpg alt='Dominika Tkaczyk' height=57 width=57><div class=nav2019__post-text><h5>2024 November 06</h5><h3><a href=/blog/how-good-is-your-matching/>How good is your matching?</a></h3><p>In our previous blog post in this series, we explained why no metadata matching strategy can return perfect results. Thankfully, however, this does not mean that it’s impossible to know anything about the quality of matching. Indeed, we can (and should!) measure how close (or far) we are from achieving perfection with our matching. Read on to learn how this can be done! How about we start with a quiz? Imagine a database of scholarly metadata that needs to be enriched with identifiers, such as ORCIDs or ROR IDs.</p></div><a href=/blog/how-good-is-your-matching/ class=nav2019__post-readmore>...Find out more</a></div><div class="nav-col nav2019__post"><img class=profile-pic src=https://www.crossref.org//images/staff/kora-fisher-edit.png alt='Kornelia Korzec' height=57 width=57><div class=nav2019__post-text><h5>2024 October 28</h5><h3><a href=/blog/update-rcfs/>Update on the Resourcing Crossref for Future Sustainability research</a></h3><p>We’re in year two of the Resourcing Crossref for Future Sustainability (RCFS) research. This report provides an update on progress to date, specifically on research we’ve conducted to better understand the impact of our fees and possible changes. Crossref is in a good financial position with our current fees, which haven’t increased in 20 years. This project is seeking to future-proof our fees by: Making fees more equitable Simplifying our complex fee schedule Rebalancing revenue sources In order to review all aspects of our fees, we’ve planned five projects to look into specific aspects of our current fees that may need to change to achieve the goals above.</p></div><a href=/blog/update-rcfs/ class=nav2019__post-readmore>...Find out more</a></div><div class="nav-col nav2019__post"><img class=profile-pic src=https://www.crossref.org//images/staff/lucy3.jpg alt='Lucy Ofiesh' height=57 width=57><div class=nav2019__post-text><h5>2024 September 24</h5><h3><a href=/blog/2024-board-election/>Meet the candidates and vote in our 2024 Board elections</a></h3><p>On behalf of the Nominating Committee, I’m pleased to share the slate of candidates for the 2024 board election. Each year we do an open call for board interest. This year, the Nominating Committee received 53 submissions from members worldwide to fill four open board seats. We maintain a balanced board of 8 large member seats and 8 small member seats. Size is determined based on the organization’s membership tier (small members fall in the $0-$1,650 tiers and large members in the $3,900 - $50,000 tiers).</p></div><a href=/blog/2024-board-election/
