Editor's Notes
- thank you for letting us come and speak with you. This is a great o opportunity to learn about your needs as well as update you on what we have been doing. This is a new thing we’re trying - give us feedback Tell us if we’re slow/fast
- Collaboration is at the core of everything we do. Our focus is on things that are best achieved by working together. We involve the community through active working groups and committees. We do R&D to support and expand the shared infrastructure we run for the scholarly community. Building on the metadata we collect, we use standard web technologies and create open source tools and services to help our members solve problems and meet best publishing practice. Our broad and inclusive community may have different views, but when it comes to law and policy, Crossref remains impartial. We are obsessed with persistence - of links, of our technology, and of the organization. Membership and service fees cover our costs, and our surplus means we can do new things and sustain the community infrastructure for the long term.
