Session
In this presentation, you will be introduced to the concept of Persistent Identifier (PID) graph and how PIDs can provide a reliable means of presenting, analysing, and understanding research activity. Relationships between PIDs like ORCID, DOI, ROR etc offer important information about researchers, their works and their collaborations. Understanding how these identifiers connect and relate to one another, you will gain a clearer view of collaboration patterns as reflected by scholarly publications. Using a publicly available script, the presentation will also demonstrate how data derived from institutional publication records can be used to collect and visualise collaboration data. Through animated visualisations you will be able to see how researchers collaborate across national and international borders.
