The CrossRef network today covers millions of journal articles and other scholarly content from several hundred academic publishers and societies. CrossRef launched in early 2000 as a co-operative venture among publishers to support persistent, industry-wide citation linking in journals using the Digital Object Identifier, or DOI. In five-plus years of operation, CrossRef has grown steadily in many dimensions, including the number of voting members and participating publishers; the number of journals covered; the types of content to which DOIs are assigned; coverage of scholarly and professional disciplines; usage by the research community; and overall technical functionality. This article briefly surveys recent CrossRef developments, focusing on functional enhancements to the CrossRef system.
