The Crossref Nominating Committee invites expressions of interest to join the Board of Directors of Crossref for the term starting in March 2024. The committee will gather responses from those interested and create the slate of candidates that our members will vote on in an election in September.
Expressions of interest will be due Monday, June 26th, 2023.
About the board elections The board is elected through the âone member, one voteâ policy wherein every member organization of Crossref has a single vote to elect representatives to the Crossref board.
We were delighted to engage with over 200 community members in our latest Community update calls. We aimed to present a diverse selection of highlights on our progress and discuss your questions about participating in the Research Nexus. For those who didnât get a chance to join us, Iâll briefly summarise the content of the sessions here and I invite you to join the conversations on the Community Forum.
You can take a look at the slides here and the recordings of the calls are available here.
We have some exciting news for fans of big batches of metadata: this yearâs public data file is now available. Like in years past, weâve wrapped up all of our metadata records into a single download for those who want to get started using all Crossref metadata records.
Weâve once again made this yearâs public data file available via Academic Torrents, and in response to some feedback weâve received from public data file users, weâve taken a few additional steps to make accessing this 185 gb file a little easier.
In 2022, we flagged up some changes to Similarity Check, which were taking place in v2 of Turnitin’s iThenticate tool used by members participating in the service. We noted that further enhancements were planned, and want to highlight some changes that are coming very soon. These changes will affect functionality that is used by account administrators, and doesn’t affect the Similarity Reports themselves.
From Wednesday 3 May 2023, administrators of iThenticate v2 accounts will notice some changes to the interface and improvements to the Users, Groups, Integrations, Statistics and Paper Lookup sections.

Setting up your iThenticate v2 account MTS integration (admins only)
This section of our documentation is for Similarity Check account administrators who are integrating iThenticate v2 with their Manuscript Submission System (MTS). It explains how administrators need to set up the iThenticate v2 account for their organizations in order to integrate with their MTS.
If you are using iThenticate v1 rather than iThenticate v2, take a look at the section for v1 account administrators.
If you intend to use iThenticate v2 directly in the browser (and not through an integration with your Manuscript Submission System (MTS) please skip to the section on setting up iThenticate v2 for browser users for iThenticate administrators.
Your personal administrator account in iThenticate v2
Once Turnitin has enabled iThenticate v2 for your organization, 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 âSet up my accountâ 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 donât forget to tick to agree to the terms and conditions. You will then arrive at your new iThenticate v2 account.
How do you know if youâre an account administrator?
hen you are logged in to iThenticate, what tabs can you see?
If you’re using iThenticate v2, you will only be able to see Users on the menu if you’re an account administrator.
If you’re using iThenticate v2, 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, youâre not an account administrator, and you can just read the user instructions for iThenticate v2 on the Turnitin website.
