PIDs and Open Science: Building Community in Latin America
Persistent identifiers are playing a key role in driving more robust research infrastructure and open science initiatives across Latin America. This was a primary theme at the event “Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) and Open Science in Latin America” (#PIDsLATAM23) held on April 18 in Buenos Aires (Argentina) during csv,conf,v7. Organized by DataCite, ORCID, and ROR, the event was attended by more than 70 research stakeholders from across the Latin American region and elsewhere, representing 40 different institutions in total.
Investigating PIDs for organizations – ORCID DE 2 project successfully completed
As an open infrastructure that is embedded in its community, DataCite is involved in various projects to promote our vision of connecting research and identifying knowledge through persistent identifiers (PIDs). Within the German ORCID DE 2 project, DataCite led the work package on organization identifiers – including ROR. This guest blog post by Antonia Schrader is a crosspost from the ORCID DE blog outlining the achievements of the ORCID DE 2 project.
Finding the Proof of the PID Pudding
If you’re reading this blog post, the chances are you’re a bit of a PID enthusiast. You understand the value of PIDs and their metadata, and you advocate for them to be widely adopted and implemented so that everyone can benefit from them. But sometime, somewhere, someone is going to ask you for proof that investing in PIDs is really worthwhile. And, other than anecdotally and/or for small and quite specific use cases, such as this simulator developed by Portuguese funder FCT, that proof has been largely lacking — until recently….
Grounding Indigenous Rights in DataCite metadata
