We have [renewed our partnership with DOAJ](https://www.crossref.org/pdfs/2026-03-12-Cooperation-agreement-2026-CROSSREF-DOAJFoundation-signed.pdf) to focus on a new set of objectives that reflect both organisations’ commitment to improving sustainable and equitable services and infrastructure. This renewed collaboration focuses on improving the quality of scholarly metadata while expanding support for journals in low- and middle income- countries.
