Opening Theses and Dissertations with PIDs and Metadata
As research and scholarship become more global and interconnected, the research community faces the challenge of recognizing and demonstrating the impact of all types of contributions. In this context, persistent identifiers (PIDs) can help leverage connections between local infrastructures and global information resources, as they can uniquely identify different entities (researchers, institutions, outputs and resources) in the research ecosystem (Ferguson et alI 2019). For this reason, PIDs and their associated metadata can be considered the building blocks of research infrastructure (Meadows et al., 2019). In addition, PIDs play a central role in the Open Science framework as they can increase transparency and recognition in research, and facilitate integration and interoperability, as well as making research FAIR (Wilkinson et al. 2016).This poster has been presented during the 26th International Symposium on Electronic Theses and Dissertations ETD 2023, hosted by Information and Library Network Centre (INFLIBNET) in Gujarat, India.
