Newly approved membership terms will replace existing agreement

In its July 2018 meeting, the Crossref Board voted unanimously to approve and introduce a new set of membership terms.

It’s not about the money, money, money.

Our Membership & Fees committee regularly reviews both membership fees and Content Registration fees for a growing range of research outputs.
