Persistent Identifiers, commonly referred to as PIDs, play a pivotal role in fostering trust within scholarly publications while concurrently enhancing publication discoverability and accessibility.
Join the December 10th OpenCon Librarian Community Call to learn about the multifaceted value of PIDs at different levels, including: authors, articles, and journals. Perhaps more vitally, PIDs are often interoperable and push metadata between organizations and services. And, they do so with an "automagical" open infrastructure maintained, largely, by not-for-profit organizations.
Meet the Speaker:
Mike Nason is the Open Scholarship and Publishing Librarian at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. He is also the Metadata and Crossref Liaison with the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) and a PKP Publishing Services team member.
