DESCRIPTION:This Birds‑of‑a‑Feather session examines how persistent i
 dentifiers (PIDs)\, in particular  people identifiers such as ORCID\, can
  enhance trust\, accountability\, and interoperability in scholarly commun
 ication by enabling robust researcher identity verification.\nAs fraudulen
 t submissions rise\, STM’s Researcher Identity Verification Framework hi
 ghlights the importance of proving both individual identity and academic p
 articipation\, requiring a network of underlying PIDs\, metadata\, and lin
 kages.\n\nThe discussion addresses how verified affiliations\, academic co
 ntributions\, and institutional identity providers can anchor scalable ver
 ification\, linking researchers to their roles and outputs. A key theme is
  the propagation of trust signals across infrastructures like ORCID and Cr
 ossref\, improving accountability and reducing fraud.\n\nThe session also 
 acknowledges the need for anonymity or pseudonymity in legitimate contexts
 \, emphasising a flexible PID ecosystem. Participants are invited to share
  challenges\, including global inclusivity and early‑career researcher i
 ssues\, with the aim of defining actionable steps for advancing PID‑enab
 led verification.
