Established in 1957 by joint action of the National Science Foundation and the American Institute of Biological Sciences, the Council enjoys close relationships with a number of scientific publishing organisations, both national and international.
CrossRef is a not-for-profit membership association founded and directed by publishers. Its mission is to enable easy identification and use of trustworthy electronic content by promoting the cooperative development and application of a sustainable infrastructure.
