The Crossref Grant Linking System (GLS) has been facilitating the registration, sharing and re-use of open funding metadata for six years now, and we have reached some important milestones recently! What started as an interest in identifying funders through the Open Funder Registry evolved to a more nuanced and comprehensive way to share and re-use open funding data systematically. That’s how, in collaboration with the funding community, the Crossref Grant Linking System was developed. Open funding metadata is fundamental for the transparency and integrity of the research endeavour, so we are happy to see them included in the Research Nexus.
Crossref and the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) have been working closely together for many years, sharing resources and supporting our overlapping communities of organisations involved in communicating research. Now we’re delighted to share that we have agreed on a new set of objectives for our partnership, centred on further development of the tools that our shared community relies upon, as well as building capacity to enable richer metadata registration for organisations using the Open Journal Systems (OJS).
To mark Crossref’s 25th anniversary, we launched our first Metadata Awards to highlight members with the best metadata practices.
GigaScience Press, based in Hong Kong, was the leader among small publishers, defined as organisations with less than USD 1 million in publishing revenue or expenses. We spoke with Scott Edmunds, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief at GigaScience Press, about how discoverability drives their high metadata standards.
What motivates your organisation/team to work towards high-quality metadata? What objectives does it support for your organisation?
Our objective is to communicate science openly and collaboratively, without barriers, to solve problems in a data- and evidence-driven manner through Open Science publishing. High-quality metadata helps us address these objectives by improving the discoverability, transparency, and provenance of the work we publish. It is an integral part of the FAIR principles and UNESCO Open Science Recommendation, playing a role in increasing the accessibility of research for both humans and machines. As one of the authors of the FAIR principles paper and an advisor of the Make Data Count project, I’ve also personally been very conscious to practice what I preach.

Setting up your iThenticate 2.0 account MTS integration (admins only)
This section of our documentation is for Similarity Check account administrators who plan to access iThenticate 2.0 through their Manuscript Submission System (MTS).
If you are using iThenticate v1 rather than iThenticate 2.0, take a look at the section for v1 account administrators.
If you intend to use iThenticate 2.0 directly in the browser (and not through an integration with your Manuscript Submission System (MTS) please skip to the section on setting up iThenticate 2.0 for browser users for iThenticate administrators.
Your personal administrator account in iThenticate 2.0
Once Turnitin has enabled iThenticate 2.0 for your organisation, the main editorial contact provided on your application form will become the iThenticate account administrator.
You will receive an email from Turnitin with a link to set your credentials. The email will look like this:
Click on the blue ‘Set up my account’ button at the bottom of the email. This will bring you to a page which looks something like this:
Fill out your username and password, and don’t forget to tick to agree to the terms and conditions. You will then arrive at your new iThenticate 2.0 account.
How do you know if you’re an account administrator?
When you are logged in to iThenticate, what tabs can you see?
If you’re using iThenticate 2.0, you will only be able to see Users on the menu if you’re an account administrator.
So if you can’t see Manage Users or Users, you’re not an account administrator, and you can just read the user instructions for iThenticate 2.0 on the Turnitin website.
Updating your email address, username or password in the future
If you need to change your personal email address, username or password in the future, you can find instructions on the Turnitin website.
If you forgot your password and have never signed into your new 2.0 account, you’ll need to reach out to Turnitin’s support to have your password resent to you from Turnitin.
If you’ve already signed into your 2.0 account, but can’t remember your password, you can simply use the Forgot Password link on the login screen of your unique 2.0 website (https://crossref-xxx.turnitin.com, with xxx being your member ID).
