@MikeTaylor @rmounce They make the changes at our request. So yes.

@MikeTaylor FTR- They also provided foundational loans for the creation of Crossref and ORCID. And what they did with Funder Registry is roughly what Digital Science later did when they worked to transition GRID to ROR.

@MikeTaylor It means they created the original dataset and then donated it to the community CC0. They handle the day-to-day curation of the data (at no charge) and Crossref coordinates edits/releases. It has operated like this for a decade.

@rdmpage @timrobertson100 @CrossrefOrg @JSTOR @WileyEcolEvol @Botanical_ @mfenner Thanks.

FTR- I wouldn’t use the ableist language these days.

At the very least they should be aliased (don’t seem to be, but hard to tell with Cloudflare)

NB API doesn’t support aliases yet. It should.

Still , point stands- aliases should not be used as a workaround either.

@sckottie So they are inserting the doi—like strings on their pages, but not registering them? I wonder if they changed platform at some time?
