GACOPA is now a recognized and voting member of Crossref
Crossref is the world’s largest registry of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) and metadata for the scholarly research community. Unlike other DOI agencies, Crossref encompass all research stakeholders and all geographies. They facilitate an average of 1.1 billion DOI resolutions (clicks of a DOI link) every month, which is 95% of all DOI activity. And their APIs see over 1 billion queries of their metadata every month
Crossref was founded in 2000 by some established scientific societies and publishers. Now, our membership comprises just 35% publishers or societies, with the largest membership group (40%) self-identifying as research institutions and universities. The other 25% is made up of funders (who started joining to record grants, use of facilities, and other support) alongside hundreds of museums, government organisations, libraries, data and subject repositories, conference providers, standards bodies, individual scholars, and news outlets. Our members register any research object that might be part of the scholarly evidence trail – from grants, articles, books, preprints, and reports to data, software, video, and physical objects.
Crossref runs open infrastructure to link research objects, entities, and actions, creating a lasting and reusable scholarly record. As a not-for-profit with over 21,000 members in 160 countries, Crossref drive metadata exchange and support nearly 2 billion monthly API queries, facilitating global research communication, for the benefit of society.
This global network effect means your work is more likely to be found, if it’s in Crossref.
