Persistent Identifiers or PIDs, are valuable pieces of information assigned to authors, articles, journals, books, funders, institutions, and other discrete elements embedded in scholarly communication or academic networks. PIDs are unique, open and interoperable, which makes them ideal to connect and distribute associated metadata seamlessly through the ecosystem. Join us to learn about the myriad ways you can use PIDs, such as ORCID, to promote your work and connect with others in academia.
