About us - Crossref

We envision a rich and reusable open network of relationships connecting research organisations, people, things, and actions; a scholarly record that the global community can build on forever, for the benefit of society. We’ve been progressing towards this vision for two decades so far. And “we” means 17,000+ members from 146 countries, 130+ million records, 600+ million monthly metadata queries from thousands of tools across the research ecosystem. An ecosystem that includes several other foundational infrastructure organisations we collaborate with.
