Investigating - Several members have reported that their sessions have been dropped (screen turning white) when attempting to add contributor metadata to their registrations within Metadata Manager - https://0-www-crossref-org.oasis.unisa.ac.za/metadatamanager/. Members facing this issue should register their metadata without contributors and then use the new record registration form - https://0-manage-crossref-org.oasis.unisa.ac.za/records - to import those records so their contributors can be added to the metadata. Please contact our support team - support@crossref.org - if you have questions. - IF
