ODIN ORCID and DataCite: Towards Holistic Open Research
Wednesday September 24 2014 - 13:30-17:00 - The ODIN project has been working since 2012 to link researchers to their datasets using PIDs in real-world research systems. The team have examined the landscape as it evolves with input from an international group of experts in the field and built practical tools to enable others to link PIDs. We would like to invite all those interested in research data citation, management, policy, evaluation and systems to join us for the ODIN project final event. We are delighted that additional context and experience will be provided by the keynote speakers for the day, Dr Merce Crosas, Director of Data Science at IQSS, Harvard University, and Dr Simon Hodson, Executive Director of CODATA.
