Session
Recording institutional Open Science outputs is challenging particularly when organisations collect information across multiple departments and sites. Uptake of persistent identifiers (PIDs) for various outputs across people, places, and funders offers a solution. To foster an interconnected Open Science landscape, Europe PMC has embarked on two pilot projects with the European Molecular Biology Laboratory and SciLifeLab to incorporate ROR IDs into the literature records. Many institutions generate and maintain publication output lists to measure their positive impact on science and society. Using human-curated metadata to link ROR IDs to publications in Europe PMC creates more open, reliable, and efficient analysis, monitoring and funder compliance checks, and demonstrates the value of upstream PID collection. In this talk, we present the pilot workflows, technical integration, and lessons learned to encourage wider adoption and reduce manual institutional workflows.
