Workshop on PIDs for Physical Objects like samples and artefakts 🌱 🌋 🌏 🧫 🧪
– Documentation now available!

⭐ Highlights ⭐

- Importance of #PIDs in enhancing #FAIR principles
- Different use cases and success stories
- Challenges in PID implementation
- Exchange format to address a national PID roadmap
- Emphasis on early PID assignment, standardized #metadata, community collaboration, and sustainable funding.

We are looking forward to our next workshop on #PIDs for academic events on 07.05.2025 at @tibhannover (or online 🖥️ ).

You can expect exciting presentations and, especially on site in Hannover, there will be the opportunity to exchange ideas and network. Catering will be provided ☕

We look forward to seeing you there!

I like this idea for a #LettersToTheEditor #preprint server.
link.springer.com/article/10.1

"Such a preprint server would offer three major benefits…: format-free ease of swift communication, increased author visibility and accountability, and avoiding the homelessness of unpublished [letters]."

PS: I've sent letters to journals that had policies not to publish them, but without saying so anywhere. Once I sent a letter to a new journal that had never received or published one and needed time to think about it. Right now #SocialMedia takes up this slack and does a pretty good job. But posting letters as preprints would give authors more space, prevent even published letters from languishing behind #paywalls, and offer better opportunities for #PIDs, #metadata, and #discoverability.

SpringerLinkReinventing the Letter to the Editor in Science: A Dedicated Preprint Server - Publishing Research QuarterlyAlthough letters to the editor (LTEs, or Correspondence) have a wide range of communicative functions within science, they also present several drawbacks, three of which we highlight: editorial ambiguity, technological limitations and skewed perceptions about their format. An assessment of Scopus (September 16, 2023) indicated that letters account for 1.7% to 3.2% per year, relative to articles and reviews, suggesting that the LTE field is undeveloped. We argue that the creation of a new preprint server, which we name CoArXiv or LettersArXiv, would allow LTEs—with timely and valuable knowledge and insight—to be posted in much the same way as other preprints, and would be one way to overcome needed reform of LTE-publishing culture, ultimately expanding the range of science communication channels for multidisciplinary research. We consider that such a preprint server would offer three major benefits for scientific research: format-free ease of swift communication, increased author visibility and accountability, and avoiding the homelessness of unpublished LTEs.

👀 Have you already seen it? The @PIDNetworkDE is organizing another workshop on #PIDs for academic events in Hannover on 07.05.2025.

There will be an exciting program from the perspective of different stakeholders. The presentations will also be broadcast online, but we always enjoy to meet you and exchange on-site.

📢 Check out our new PID icons!

We've created a set of icons to visually represent Persistent Identifiers (#PIDs) and their use cases—from datasets and software to researchers and grants!

💫 Improving data discoverability, facilitating visual analysis, and promoting a more unified understanding of research information.

➡️ Check out the full collection and and carry it into the world!

📢 Join our workshop on Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) for Academic Events! We'll explore how #PIDs can benefit researchers, conference organizers, publishers, librarians, and funding organizations.

🗓️ Date: May 7th, 2025, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

📍 Location: Hannover at @tibhannover + Online (lectures only)

🔗 Program & Registration: events.hifis.net/event/2232/

🗣️ Note: Presentations will be held in both English and German. Details can be found in the agenda.

New blog post from us here at Thoth on #PIDs in #OAbooks publishing - in which we highlight some of the problems being encountered with the implementation of PIDs, and particularly DOIs for books when created by multiple agents in the distribution channel
