This workshop will look at the benefits of persistent identifiers (PIDs) for researchers and how they can help support the expansion of Open Science practices by facilitating the creation and preservation of accurate and transparent scholarly records.

Open Science has been a major policy initiative across research communities for more than a decade. As in UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science, a key step in making science open lies in improving data quality and transparency via a shared Open Research Infrastructure so that researchers can easily share and get credits for their research work, and all the stakeholder organizations in the research ecosystem can exchange trusted research information interoperably. ORCID strives to enable transparent and trustworthy connections between researchers, their contributions, and their affiliations by providing a unique, persistent identifier for individuals to use as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities.
