The Value of RDA for National Persistent Identifier (PID) Strategies – White Paper

Published on August 26, 2025

The Research Data Alliance (RDA) organised workshops on 15 and 20 May 2025, to demonstrate the RDA’s policy impact and encourage implementation of RDA recommendations and outputs in different policy contexts. The workshops focused on critical policy areas that form essential research infrastructure including National Persistent Identifier (PID) Strategies for reliable tracking and citation of research outputs.

The Value of the RDA for National Persistent Identifier (PID) Strategies

National PID strategies are coordinated approaches that countries develop to systematically implement and manage PIDs across their research ecosystems. Featuring real-world adoption stories from France, Ireland, Czech Republic, and the USA, this white paper highlights how coordinated national PID strategies improve research efficiency, and how the RDA’s PID Strategies Guide and Checklist provides a flexible, globally aligned framework for policy action.
