Happy anniversary @crossref.bsky.social ! And thank you for all you’ve done over the past 25 years to aid global research communication and the research community, from the initial reference linking to all the services and tools you’ve created since then – we appreciate it!

Panel at #Crossref2025 talks about the potential ability of metadata and the Research Nexus to remove some of the existing hierarchies and create a more equitable landscape.
October 23, 2025 at 11:19 AM
The panel at #Crossref2025 discusses some of the challenges of the Research Nexus in the real world - the technical challenges of the scale, keeping metadata open (particularly abstracts), use of metadata by AI, importance of metadata in languages other than English.
October 23, 2025 at 11:08 AM
Panel at #Crossref2025 wonders if metadata has an image problem. Bianca Kramer says the word metadata not used in the Barcelona Declaration. Mariángela Napoli thinks perception of metadata is something too technical. Kazuhiro Hayashi describes metadata as "the unsung hero". Time for a rebrand ;)

And we find ourselves at the final session of #Crossref2025 with a fascinating panel on "Research Nexus in the real world: What is the impact and potential of open scholarly metadata?" chaired by @ginsta.bsky.social. More on the Research Nexus here: www.crossref.org/documentatio...
The research nexus - Crossref
The ‘research nexus’ is the vision to which we aspire: A rich and reusable open network of relationships connecting research organisations, people, things, and actions; a scholarly record that the gl...

And now, Achal Agrawal from PostPub explains "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Author-Affiliation Co-Occurrence for Institute Disambiguation" - great to see Crossref metadata being used out in the world! #Crossref2025

An overview now from Leena Shah of @doaj.bsky.social on our collaboration; we have MOU to look into gaps in journal coverage, and we're two of the partners on theplace.discourse.group, which helps smaller publishers to learn about both our organisations, OASPA and COPE. #Crossref2025

Soichi Tokizane of Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) explains how Crossref paved the way for the foundation of J-STAGE and JaLC services; our work together began in 2002. To this day, they remain a sponsor, a member, and also register Grants funded by the Japanese government. #crossref2025

Day 2 of our Annual Meeting (it's the 26th meeting in our 25th year!) and Ed Pentz discusses the scale of Crossref today #Crossref2025
October 23, 2025 at 7:34 AM
Why are we focusing on metadata matching? Well, says Data Scientist Jason Portenoy, there are gaps to fill! We already match billions of relationships, and we're working on expanding this. The goal? A more complete scholarly record. More info at www.crossref.org/community/sp... #crossref2025
October 22, 2025 at 3:48 PM
Why did Crossref need a dedicated Data Science team? Dominika Tkaczyk, Director of Technology, explains why and gives the team's mission as *"The Crossref Data Science team uses scientific research and data science to deliver, assess, improve, and enrich scholarly metadata."* #crossref2025
October 22, 2025 at 3:35 PM
Now an update on our metadata schema: Grants schema 0.3.0 will add support for project ids (RAiD); Publications schema 5.5 for contributor roles and statements (e.g. funding, acknowledgements, data/software availability). And a reminder (attached) of the most recent updates. #crossref2025
