How to get involved?
• Committees: Membership & Fees, CrossCheck, CrossMark, Text and Data Mining, DET, DUL• Working Groups: Taxonomy, Linked Clinical Trials,
Standards Technical, Book Interest Group, Funder Advisory Group
Preprints
• In July the board voted to accept preprints• Updated rules being reviewed tomorrow• Clarify best practice for: • Assigning DOIs to preprints and requirements for clear
labelling and to link to published version - privilege the Version of Record • Assigning CR DOIs at acceptance and maintaining the same
CR DOI for the formally published version. • Assigning separate DOIs to duplicative and derivative content
such as re-publications, translations, annotated copies, etc.
Funding data
• Changing a name - renaming FundRef - will use funding data and the Crossref Open Funder Registry• “FundRef” caused confusion - many thought it was
separate from Crossref or a separate system. • Took focus away from all the metadata we are now
collecting including: funder ID and grant number, authenticated ORCID iDs, licenses (embargoes), full text URL for TDM, CrossMark metadata, abstracts
What’s in store?

new website; new manual deposit process, DET, DUL, Linked Clinical Trials, ORCID Auto Update, Participation Reports, international outreach, etc.
Collaboration & Engagement
• Institutional Identifiers - ORCID, DataCite and others• I believe there is an opportunity for the scholarly community
to come together and address the challenge of providing a stable persistent identifier for institutions. This conversation should clearly involve the existing stakeholders I have listed above. But a standard alone is insufficient for success; both ORCID and CrossRef demonstrate the need for organisational infrastructure, services and outreach in order to drive uptake and ensure success.• Richard Padley, Semantical - Digital Science - Perspectives• https://www.digital-science.com/blog/perspectives/on-the-benefits-of-institutional-identit
