Robbykha joined Crossref in April 2022 as a Member Support Specialist. She previously worked at Universitas Indonesia’s Research and Innovation Management Product Office, supporting researchers in publishing their academic journals and articles. In addition to that, she spent time as an Assistant Editor in Chief and Reviewer for Makara Journal of Health Research. She works remotely from Jakarta, Indonesia, and enjoys walking, traveling, and cooking. She is also a practicing Dentist.
Each organization in the global community of Crossref members (that’s currently over 25k organizations in 166 different countries) plays a key role in building the Research Nexus. Any opportunity we have to meet with our members in person is a highlight and a way for us to learn more from each other. The month of January saw three of us travel to Bangkok to attend the first-ever Charleston Conference organised in Asia and to meet with our growing community in Thailand.

As Crossref celebrated its 25th anniversary last year, we are highlighting some of the most active and engaged regions in our global community.
Over the past 25 years, the makeup of Crossref membership has evolved significantly; founded by a handful of large publishers, we now have more than 24,000 members representing 165 countries. Nearly two-thirds of them self-identify as universities, libraries, government agencies, foundations, scholar publishers, and research institutions.
This June, we presented at the Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF) and connected directly with our growing community in China. With a surge of interest from Chinese publishers and partners, it was clear: there’s a strong and rising curiosity around how metadata plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of the scholarly record.
