Youth STEM 2030 Joins Crossref
We’re excited to share that Youth STEM 2030 is now a member of Crossref! Read on to find out how this will help us give young people a platform at Youth STEM Matters…
We’re joining over 18,000 publishers globally as members of Crossref - a membership organisation that exists to make scholarly communications better. Our membership will allow us to make articles published in Youth STEM Matters - our youth-led scientific journal - easier to find.
In practice, this means that all of the Original Research and Review Articles published in Youth STEM Matters will now be assigned a DOI (digital object identifier), creating a persistent link to the article. It’s a small change, but one that helps us achieve our aim of demonstrating best practice within scientific publishing, while creating an accessible for the world’s youth to share their research, ideas and innovations.
To date over 120 million journal articles and other forms of published content have been registered with Crossref, and we’re proud to be playing our part in the research ecosystem alongside the likes of Wiley, PLoS and Royal Society of Chemistry.
By making research outputs easy to find, cite, link, assess and reuse, our membership of Crossref will also make Original Research and Review Articles published in Youth STEM Matters more discoverable. In turn, this means our authors’ work has even greater potential to make a difference to the world’s biggest challenges!
On becoming members of Crossref, Youth STEM Matters Co-Founder and Editor-In-Chief Adam Khan-Qureshi said:
“By having unique DOI numbers associated with our Original Research and Review papers, it means our young authors will have a louder voice within the scientific research community. It’s a massive step forward for the journal in setting an example of best practise within scientific publishing!”
