SURVEY ON REFERENCE LINKING - http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07e2l01ztcfzx1ad97/start
If you are a researcher or professional visiting this website, please take a few minutes to answer some simple questions about linking in online journals.
The target audience for our survey is authors, researchers, and scholars rather than publishers or librarians. We will share the results with our members. We plan to use the results to inform our strategy for promoting the value of CrossRef to the broader scholarly community.
Thank you once again for your cooperation. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns
Sincerely,
Carol Anne Meyer
