摘要：Ginny Hendricks has recently been appointed as the new Director of Member and Community Outreach at CrossRef. CrossRef runs the metadata engine for scholarly content, bringing together publishers and their data for the benefit of the whole community of researchers, publishers, funders, librarians and readers. It was set up by a group of publishers initially to enable reliable reference linking, and that remit has extended over the years to include other data and services that address the status of and relationships between scholarly works of all kinds. For example, CrossRef now includes services that allow publishers to show which organization funded the research, when an article has been changed or updated (or even retracted) and to check for signs of plagiarism. A recent development also enables text and data mining.
