Better Data, Lower Burden, Higher Impact: the Value of Persistent Identifiers Across the Research Ecosystem
Thursday May 15, 2025
From 1:00pm to 2:00pm
Document
Persistent identifiers (PIDs) are long-lasting, globally unique, digital labels for a person, place or thing. Examples include digital object identifiers (DOIs) for journal articles, books, and datasets, ORCID iDs for people, and Research Organization Registries (RORs) for organizations. PIDs are being integrated into the research ecosystems around the world because they enable the accurate and consistent identification of researchers, institutions, projects, awards, publications, data sets, and other research inputs and outputs and the linking of research inputs and outputs to longer term impact. The incorporation of PIDs into institutional and granting agency systems also reduces administrative burden by enabling researchers to upload and download information directly to and from those systems. This session will describe the development of a national PID strategy for Canada and the use and value of PIDs within research institutions, the federal granting agencies, and by researchers.
