Dear Domin,

We wrote last week to ask in hope that you are as safe as possible during this Russian invasion of Ukraine. We're now writing again to you and all 350 Ukrainian members and eight Sponsors regarding a small action by which we may be able to show our support, a fee waiver:

Any invoice due in February that has not already been paid has now been waived - these will show as 'paid' for you or your Sponsor. We will also suppress all Content Registration invoices for Q1 and Q2 of 2022. We know it must be hard to publish as normal right now but this is hopefully one less thing you have to worry about. 

We will review this decision in June but we hope we will not have to extend this fee waiver because Ukraine will have returned to peace much sooner and normal business may resume. 

Again, know that our thoughts are with you and your colleagues and families - and please keep us informed of your situation.

Stay safe,
Crossref team

We are writing in the hope that you are okay during this very difficult time. All the staff here at Crossref are watching in horror as this war unfolds. We have 350 members in Ukraine and eight Sponsors and many other community members in surrounding countries who are affected by this situation, including some of our own staff with links to the region.

To the extent that we can, we will continue to support all our members, sponsors, and ambassadors in all countries as it is Crossref's mission to support the global research community and our governing bylaws prevent us from doing otherwise.

You may receive automated emails from our systems related to invoices but we know these will not be your priority. Next week, we will write again in a separate email with details of how we will support Ukrainian members further regarding those invoices. For now, we are primarily writing to check in and express our deepest wish that you, your family, and your colleagues are coping as well as you can and that you all stay safe and well. 

Take care,

Everyone at Crossref
