The Research Data Alliance and the Open Research Funders Group have partnered to issue a report that highlights persistent identifies, their associated metadata, and the systems that connect them as a means to advance open scholarship in the United States.
Recommendations regarding persistent identifiers (PIDs) that can be applied to numerous elements of the research landscape across the US, including governmental entities, infrastructure providers, research institutions, public and private funding bodies, publishers, content providers, and other stakeholders. Ideally, this guidance will be widely adopted by organizations throughout the research ecosystem in the US and potentially adapted globally in other national contexts around the world, as part of a growing movement to deploy national persistent identifier strategies.
