Press releases

Press releases are reserved for announcements that change the public record: a dictionary release, a federation agreement, a standards adoption, a board appointment, or a formal editorial statement. The cadence is deliberately low. Where an item belongs in editorial commentary rather than the official record, it appears on the Perspectives page.

What you can expect here

• Numbered dictionary releases and the editorial decisions behind them.
• Joint statements with federation partners — NISO, euroCRIS, CODATA — when shared infrastructure changes hands.
• Standards alignments — particularly with the formal ANSI/NISO Z39.104-2022 CRediT standard.
• Board appointments and chair confirmations across the 24 working groups.
• Editorial statements on contested matters where the federation has a duty to speak in one voice.

Archive convention

Releases are durable URLs. We do not retract; corrections appear as dated addenda on the original page. The model follows NISO press-release practice and the CRediT press archive.

Current status

No release has yet been tagged separately from the broader editorial coverage on the news index — formal releases will appear here once they are categorised as such. In the meantime, the dictionary's release history (including the v2026.1 launch) is tracked on the changelog.
