Definitely yes here - Wikidata re-use of such citation data is one of the
major drivers behind

Hi all WikiJournal participants,
I received this message from Crossref (which manages the doi codes of our
journals) about whether we want to have our references open at their site,
which as I understand will be the article titles, authors, and journal
issues. Unless anyone has a reason to disagree, I will allow it to be open.
Best regards,
Mikael

Under the new reference policy, tell us which setting your want per prefix

Dear Mikael,
Recently I wrote to you outlining the change to section 9b of the
Crossref membership agreement, which allows for more efficient
distribution of metadata, which in turn helps to increase discoverability
of your content. Following that we would like to notify you of the updated board
policy
<https://outreach.crossref.org/acton/ct/16781/s-00f6-1710/Bct/l-0114/l-0114:670/ct1_0/1?sid=TV2%3ANlyQisUuV>
with respect to reference distribution.
Members deposit references with Crossref to enable the Cited-by service.
References are treated differently than all other metadata in how they are
distributed. Some members have recently decided to make their references
open
<https://outreach.crossref.org/acton/ct/16781/s-00f6-1710/Bct/l-0114/l-0114:670/ct2_0/1?sid=TV2%3ANlyQisUuV>
and references have also been distributed as part of "Enhanced Crossref
Metadata Services" for many years, which was subject to a case-by-case
opt-out that has now been phased out. As part of our new metadata delivery
options the board has approved a new, clearer policy on references.
This new policy will not change how you register content, nor will it
affect your fees in any way.
If you deposit references with us, you now have three options for how
Crossref does—or doesn’t—distribute the references:
1.
*Open:* references will be openly available through all Crossref APIs
and services.
2.
*Limited:* references will be available only to paying metadata
service users who sign an agreement with us. (This is the default)
3.
*Closed:* references will only be used in the Crossref Cited-by
service.
*Because the default is Limited, no action is necessary on your part
unless you want to make your references Open or Closed.*
If you want to change your reference distribution setting to either Open
or Closed, please email us *by 1st December* to let us know if you're
changing your setting, for each of your prefixes <support(a)crossref.org>rg>.
If you would like to know your current setting, please check this report
of publishers with open references
<https://outreach.crossref.org/acton/ct/16781/s-00f6-1710/Bct/l-0114/l-0114:670/ct3_0/1?sid=TV2%3ANlyQisUuV>.
If you are not on this list then your references are not open.
The new reference distribution policy is on our website
<https://outreach.crossref.org/acton/ct/16781/s-00f6-1710/Bct/l-0114/l-0114:670/ct1_1/1?sid=TV2%3ANlyQisUuV>.
We welcome your questions and feedback <support(a)crossref.org>rg>.
Best regards,
Ginny
