CrossRef
Reference Linking
• Next frontier in journal publishing• End user access to logically related articles
in one or two clicks• Linking allows body of primary literature as
group of logically associated articles
Reference Linking
• End Users (researchers and scientists) pursue inquiries in a logical, sequential way
• Researchers want everything to link• Researchers expect everything to linkLinks Add Value
Why CrossRef?
• Current Linking– Between Secondary and Primary– Within online systems (HighWire)
• Linking Agreements – Bilateral - Secondary to Primary– Define terms of linking– “no surprises”
Why CrossRef?
• 1/2(N)(N-1) problem• 2-party agreements not scaleable
– too many publishers– too many linking schemes
• Result - Cooperation among publishers• CrossRef makes broad-based linking
manageable
CrossRef Goals
• Enable Reference Linking– initial focus on primary article to primary article
links (one or two clicks)– X to primary article links important– Primary article to X links– X = A&I Databases, Local Catalogs/Holdings,
Conference Proceedings, Reference Works• Broad-Based, Not-for-profit initiative
– All scholarly publishing
CrossRef Principles
• Aggregation (collect full text content)– duplicate/missing content/no “one stop shop”
• Gateway (Collect “less-than-full text”)– various models - some add value some don’t
but always lead to full text content• Distributed (Virtual) Aggregation
• ‘minimal’ centralized date - full text remains on publishers’ site
• access to full text determined by publisher
Reference Linking Infrastructure
• Article identifiers• Resolution system• Technical Infrastructure
– software & services• (Meta) Data Rules• Business Rules
Article Identifier• Digital Object Identifier (DOI)
– just the number– unique, persistent, managed by IDF– identifies Intellectual Property, not a location
(URLs)– NISO standard
• 10.1006/jmbi.1999.2736
• http://dx.doi.org/10.1006/jmbi.1999.2736

DOI Resolution - IDF System
DOI Lookup - CrossRef System
• DOI-X Prototype (AAP/IDF/CNRI)• Reference linking prototype• Metadata
– Data Rules/XML DTD• Metadata Database (MDDB)• Reference Resolver (RR)
– Academic Press/Wiley– DOI Lookup/Matching
Metadata Deposit• Publishers submit article metadata
– Journal Title, ISSN/Coden,Volume, Issue, First Page, First Author, Year - mandatory
– Article Title is optional• XML-based DTD (DOI-X)
– Formal grammar – Supplementary “data rules”
• Journal articles today– Other genres to follow

DOI Lookup
• Publishers submit references to Reference Resolver (RR)– References tagged in SGML/XML– Minimum Data
• Abbreviated title, volume, first page - possibly first author and year
– Send Batches of References– RR - intelligent “link agent”
Business Rules/Governance
• CrossRef Membership– Primary scholarly publishers– Deposit metadata/Add links to references– Provide full bibliographic citation for
incoming DOI links– many publishers will give free abstracts– information on acquiring article (pay online,
document delivery, subscription)• CrossRef guarantees links
Organization
• Publishers International Linking Association (PILA)
• not-for-profit corporation to run CrossRef
• non-members can use system
• Close association with International DOI Foundation
• Incorporated Feb 2000• Executive Director, Board of Directors

CrossRef Fees
• Member Fee• Annual Administrative Fee• Deposit Fee• Lookup Fee• Principles
• cost recovery
• flexibility
• no charges to end users to follow links
Fees
• Primary Publisher Annual Member Fee• 1 title, max 500 articles per year
$200• 2-5 titles, max 2,500 articles per yr
$500• 6-20 titles, max 10,000 articles per yr $750• 21-100 titles, max 50,000 articles per yr
$1,000• >100 titles or >50,000 articles per yr $2,000
Fees
• Non-Member Annual Administrative Fee• Secondary, database <100,000 records/yr $2,000• Secondary, database >100,000 records/yr $5,000• Agents $5,000 • Non-resellers (e.g., libraries) $300
Fees
• Deposit Fee for Primary Material• Current Year -- full text $0.60• Back File (deposit after 10/1/2000) $0.10• Back File (prior to 10/1/2000) $0.05
Fees
• Member Retrieval Fee (for successful match)• Current File $0.10 • Back File $0.05
• Non-Member Retrieval Fee (for successful match)• Secondaries & Agents, Current $0.10 • Secondaries & Agents, Back File $0.05• Non-reseller (libraries) $0.05
CrossRef and Libraries
• Libraries can use CrossRef system directly– submit metadata queries to get DOI– $300/year - $.05 per DOI matched
• Intermediaries can use CrossRef system • DOIs in place when content gets to libraries• Bibliographic metadata standards will
streamline content syndication
Future Developments
• Multiple Resolution– one DOI = one URL is starting point– multiple locations and multiple files
• Appropriate Copy Issue• Interoperability
– Metadata is “system neutral”• Collaboration - CrossRef wants to work with
libraries and other parties to address these issues
