CrossRef is an association of scholarly publishers that develops shared infrastructure to support more effective scholarly communications. In the 14 years since CrossRef launched, it has developed a number of services that hinge around the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and the publication metadata submitted to CrossRef by publishers registering DOIs. CrossMark and FundRef are two additional services from CrossRef that publishers can choose to participate in, and both require publishers to provide additional information with the bibliographic metadata provided within their CrossRef deposits. This article will aim to show what this additional metadata is, how it should be formatted and why, so that publishers can use it to enhance their content and participate in additional CrossRef services that benefit the scholarly communications industry.

CrossRef is an association of scholarly publishers that develops shared infrastructure to support more effective scholarly communications. Launched in 2000, CrossRef’s citation-linking network today covers over 68 million journal articles and other content items (books chapters, data, theses, and technical reports) from thousands of scholarly and professional publishers around the globe. CrossRef has over 4,000 member publishers who join as members in order to avail of a number of CrossRef services, reference linking via the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) being the core service. To deposit CrossRef DOIs, publishers and editors need to become familiar with the basics of extensible markup language (XML). This article will give an introduction to CrossRef XML and what publishers need to do in order to start to deposit DOIs with CrossRef and thus ensure their publications are discoverable and can be linked to consistently in an online environment.
