We were delighted to engage with over 200 community members in our latest Community update calls. We aimed to present a diverse selection of highlights on our progress and discuss your questions about participating in the Research Nexus. For those who didn’t get a chance to join us, I’ll briefly summarise the content of the sessions here and I invite you to join the conversations on the Community Forum.
You can take a look at the slides here and the recordings of the calls are available here.
We have some exciting news for fans of big batches of metadata: this year’s public data file is now available. Like in years past, we’ve wrapped up all of our metadata records into a single download for those who want to get started using all Crossref metadata records.
We’ve once again made this year’s public data file available via Academic Torrents, and in response to some feedback we’ve received from public data file users, we’ve taken a few additional steps to make accessing this 185 gb file a little easier.
In 2022, we flagged up some changes to Similarity Check, which were taking place in v2 of Turnitin’s iThenticate tool used by members participating in the service. We noted that further enhancements were planned, and want to highlight some changes that are coming very soon. These changes will affect functionality that is used by account administrators, and doesn’t affect the Similarity Reports themselves.
From Wednesday 3 May 2023, administrators of iThenticate v2 accounts will notice some changes to the interface and improvements to the Users, Groups, Integrations, Statistics and Paper Lookup sections.

South Korea - Yera Hur
My side hustle has transformed me from a full-time medical professor to a flower designer, research ethics lecturer, family therapist, and character traits instructor five years ago. But my involvement as a researcher (Hallym University College of Medicine), board member and reviewer for SCIE level journals continues to this day. During my experience as an associate editor of two major medical education journals in Korea (KJME and JEEHP), I discovered the excellent tools offered by Crossref. In light of how the two journals have benefited from Crossref’s diverse programs, I am looking forward to my role as an ambassador of Crossref. I always find that anything volunteered that does not involve money is always the most fun!
