Prior to this IG meeting, a survey will have been sent to all IG members to provide suggestions on focus areas for the group into the future. This will be discussed and expanded on in this session providing clear actions for the group for the rest of the year. With countries progressing at various speeds in establishing PID strategies and roadmaps, it’s the right time to revisit the landscape to review where we are now and how far we have come. This session will give members of the IG the opportunity to contribute to this process. A call for new case studies will be launched at the start of 2025 and a summary of any submissions will be presented at this session for feedback. Depending on the number of submissions, those who submitted an intention to submit a case study will have the opportunity to give a short presentation on progress with their country’s PID strategy. Part of the IG’s remit is to maintain and review the outputs of the previous WG. We will be highlighting changes to these outputs including a revised case study template and updated case studies. We will also aim to identify, through group input, whether there are any new materials we could create that would add value to the community.

Target audience

Researchers, PID providers, research information managers, publishers, policymakers, funders, service providers. Anyone with an interest in developing policy and implementation strategies that leverage the power of persistent identifiers at scale.

Group Activities and Scope

The National PID Strategies Interest Group aims to:
1. Facilitate information exchange between those developing and/or delivering national PID strategies
2. Facilitate engagement between developers of national PID strategies and international PID providers such as ORCID, DataCite and CrossRef
3. Collaboratively develop the value proposition for national PID strategies overall as well as its component parts (such as grant identifiers, person identifiers, organisation identifiers) that can be reused/adapted by the community
4. Collect case studies of national PID strategies from countries across the globe
5. Maintain outputs (the Guide, Checklist and Case Studies) produced by the National PID Strategies WG

Short Group Status

The National PID Strategies IG had its first meeting at P21 Salzburg in 2023 as part of a joint session with the RDA Working with PIDs in Tools IG. It is the successor Group to the National PID Strategies Working Group which wrapped up in June 2023. The IG explores how Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) form part of national policy and research infrastructure implementation frameworks. The Group recognised that there are systemic and network benefits from widespread and consistent PID adoption, and funders, government agencies, and national research communities have created PID consortia or policies (including mandates) in pursuit of these benefits. The Working Group concluded in June 2023 producing a Guide, Checklist and Case Studies and the IG now maintains these outputs. With national PID strategies on the rise and in rapid development, the Interest Group was formed to continue discussions and build on the outputs of the Working Group. The Interest Group ran the “Equity challenges for National PID Strategies” session at Plenary 22 and is now looking to engage with the group’s members to plan out further activities that support the aims of the IG.
