Becoming a member
CrossRef operates a technical service on behalf of its member publishers helping them
establish URL links between their content and the content of other CrossRef publishers.
These links primarily go from the references listed in an item's bibliography to the item
being cited by the author. CrossRef services are technical in nature and require
member's staff responsible for integrating with CrossRef's offerings to have some
understanding of XML and Web technologies and to have a thorough understanding of
their own production processes.

Membership process
Publishers join CrossRef by completing and signing the membership application
and membership agreement. After joining CrossRef, you receive a DOI prefix, a user
name and password to access the CrossRef system, and the general login to the
members' area of the CrossRef web site. For information about the cost of joining
CrossRef as a publisher, see Publisher Fees on the CrossRef web site.
1. Join CrossRef using our membership request form.

2. When you become a member, you will be assigned a DOI prefix. You must
establish a DOI suffix pattern before creating DOIs.
3. Build deposit XML for containing your DOIs and their metadata (non-technical
users try our basic Web deposit form).
4. Add DOIs to your DOI response pages
5. Retrieve and construct outbound DOI links for the references in your content
Publishers may also participate in other CrossRef services.

Member obligations
When participating in CrossRef members are expected to:

Build and operate the necessary systems on their side which compose the XML
deposit files and submit them to CrossRef
add DOI links (when available) to the reference list for journal articles deposited
with CrossRef
Regularly monitor their transactions with CrossRef, and identify and correct
errors.
Remain vigilant about updating the metadata for their DOIs, particularly the
URL of the resource.
Review the various CrossRef reports issued to members and correct any
identified errors.
Use commercially reasonable efforts to make your content available and ensure
persistance of links through an authorized archive if you are no longer able to
host your content.

Si no entend mal hay que pagar una cuota anual, que entiendo en vuestro caso
sera la mnima, 275 $, y despus habra que pagar por cada tem al que se otorga
un DOI (un dlar?)
