摘要

CrossRef, the not-for-profit association of scholarly publishers that provides collaborative business and infrastructure services, has signed its 1000th voting member, St Plum-Blossom Press of Melbourne, Australia. Voting members represent over 3,200 publishers and societies that participate in CrossRef s digital object identifier (DOI) reference linking system. "CrossRef s membership is increasingly diverse," notes CrossRef Executive Director Edward Pentz. Well over half of our participating publishers are not-for-profit. Most of our membership growth comes from small publishers all over the globe. In fact, our members now come from more than 50 countries. They employ all business models, from subscription access, to open access, to hybrid models.
