The lack of interoperability between tools presents a significant barrier to streamlining research workflows throughout the research lifecycle. These gaps prevent the comprehensive collection and incorporation of research data and metadata into the research record captured during the active research phase. This is a particular issue in relation to persistent identifiers (PIDs).  Furthermore, it limits the scope for passing this data and metadata, including PIDs,  on to data repositories, thus undermining FAIR data principles and reproducibility. This IG is proposed as: A place...
