ARDC: How Five PIDs and Metadata Could Save Your Country Millions

ARDC: How Five PIDs and Metadata Could Save Your Country Millions

• Date: Tuesday, November 22, 2022
• Location: Online
• Recorded: Yes
• Description: A recently published report by the MoreBrains Cooperative commissioned by the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and the Australian Access Federation (AAF) indicates that persistent identifiers (PIDs) are an important part of the solution to the problem of administrative burden on researchers. It found that close to 38,000 person-days per year, equivalent to nearly AUS$24 million, could be saved through the nationwide adoption of five key PIDs and the reuse of their associated metadata. After a brief overview of the report, representatives from Crossref, DataCite, ORCID, RAiD, and ROR discuss their responses, their thoughts on next steps, and how they are working together to help realise these benefits for the research community in Australia and around the world.
