6 Truths we uphold at Crossref. Read slide. 1. 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, board of directors made up of member, events like this.. 2. All types of publishers. Large commercial, small not for profit, univ, gov’t, library.. 3. Members decide our board.
4, We do R&D to support and expand the shared infrastructure we run for the scholarly community. We create open source tools and services to help our members solve problems and meet best publishing practice.
5. Our broad and inclusive community may have different views, but when it comes to law and policy, Crossref remains impartial.
6. 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.

Sponsors are affiliated organizations, like ABEC, that act on behalf of smaller publishers and societies who wish to register their content with Crossref.
