Dear Colleagues,

For many years, this journal has been a vehicle for the delivery of timely and thoughtful information and opinions on the many issues that involve the VUJS community. Firstly, I would like to thank all the past editors-in-chief for their service to our readers. And I appreciate and acknowledge the scientists who are authors and our reviewers for their valuable contributions to the today's success of the journal.

After much effort by all VUJS members over the years, the journal has now been officially accepted to become a member of the Crossref organization - an official digital object identifier (DOI) Registration Agency of the International DOI Foundation. In this letter, I would like to share my knowledge about what advantages we could get from becoming a Crossref member.

Firstly, VUJS has become a Crossref member, which means that VUJS is now able to get access to all the benefits of Crossref membership. VUJS will join a community of publishers who are all linking to each other persistently through their references. VUJS’s metadata will be shared with hundreds of organizations in the scholarly ecosystem, helping to make its articles more discoverable and benefiting the entire scholarly community.

Secondly, by becoming a Crossref member, VUJS will be able to take advantage of Crossref’s services, such as content registration, the Funder Registry, Similarity Check, Cited-by and Crossmark, etc. And, of course, being members of Crossref means that now the journal is able to create a persistent identifier for each citable article that you publish with us.

Joining Crossref is much more than just getting a DOI – VUJS is now committing to a long-term relationship with your content and metadata, and to the rest of the community once your article is published with us.
