Destacando nuestra comunidad en Colombia

English version

Dado que Crossref celebra su 25º aniversario este año, nos gustaría destacar algunas de las regiones activas y comprometidas en nuestra comunidad global.

Durante los primeros 25 años, la composición de los miembros de Crossref ha evolucionado significativamente. De un puñado de grandes editoriales fundadoras, ahora tenemos más de 22.000 miembros de 160 países. Casi dos tercios de ellos se identifican como universidades, bibliotecas, entidades gubernamentales, fundaciones, editoriales académicas, e institutos de investigación.

Notice of amendments to Crossref membership terms and bylaws

In its March 2025 meeting, the Crossref board unanimously voted to update both the Crossref bylaws and the Crossref membership terms to:

  • Provide more clarity and alignment between our bylaws and membership terms, where they had become out of sync over the years.

  • Reflect previous board motions and bring both documents up-to-date with current processes for suspending and revoking membership, and reviewing those decisions.

  • Work towards being more explicit about what “Member Practices” should look like in terms of preserving the integrity of the scholarly record.

Warnings, Caveats and Weasel Words

Most of the experiments linked to here are running on R&D equipment in a non-production environment. They may disappear without warning and/or perform erratically. If one of them isn’t working for some reason, come back later and try again.

Funding data widget

 1 minute read.

A number of Crossref members have told us that they are struggling with implementing a usable funding data collection user interface in their content management systems. To that end, we have worked with some user interface consultants to come up with a “funding data widget” that illustrates some of the considerations one has to take into account when collecting funding data data.

Specifically the funding data widget illustrates how to:

  1. Autocomplete on Funder Registry names
  2. Handle multiple funders
  3. Handle multiple award numbers
  4. Handle sub-organizations
  5. Handle funding agencies that have the same name, but are in different locations (e.g. “Academy of Sciences”)
  6. Handle sub-organizations that have the same name, but different parent organizations (e.g. “Division of Physics”)
  7. Query the funding data API to make sure your Funder Registry list is always current
  8. Allow users to manually enter a funding agency if it is not already included in the Funder Registry.

The funding data widget source is posted on Github and is released under an open source license (MIT). We encourage anybody implementing funding data to either use the Widget as-is or base their own UX on the widget.

As usual, we welcome feedback and snark at:
