This webinar will be the first of a series of online events in early 2023 which will present four workflows, each of which is intended to showcase a possible future, in which persistent identifiers (PIDs) are used throughout the research lifecycle to enable automation, efficiency, new discovery tools, and analysis. Each webinar will be run in collaboration with a relevant organisation (OASPA, ARMA, UKRI, and ARDC).

This first online event on January 25 will be run in partnership with OASPA (Open access scholarly publishing association) and will raise awareness of the workflows, in particular the publishing workflow, and demonstrate the value of PID implementations to publishers as well as the costs of not implementing them.

Please register for this free event.

Further information about the programme and the registration will be provided soon on IFLA website.

Open Access Week is an opportunity for the academic and research community to continue to learn about the potential benefits of Open Access, to share what they’ve learned with colleagues, and to help inspire wider participation in helping to make Open Access a new norm in scholarship and research.

This year’s theme seeks to encourage connection and collaboration among the climate movement and the international open community. Sharing knowledge is a human right, and tackling the climate crisis requires the rapid exchange of knowledge across geographic, economic, and disciplinary boundaries.

World Digital Preservation Day (WDPD) is held on the first Thursday of every November. The Digital Preservation Coalition invites all data creators, curators and consumers from around the world to celebrate digital preservation.
