November 27, 2025 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Are you curious about how to demonstrate the impact of your research, training, data sharing, instrumentation? Join us for our roundtable November 27 from 11 AM - 12 PM on Connecting Research Impact co-hosted with Research Impact and Bibliometrics Librarian Jack Young.
Persistent identifiers (PIDs) are the backbone of a connected research ecosystem, enabling reliable discovery, reuse, and attribution for a variety of research objects. While PIDs, such as DOIs, are widely recognized for journal articles and datasets, their potential for non-traditional outputs (e.g. instruments, software/code, research projects, etc.) is only beginning to be realized.
This panel brings together experts from across Canada to explore why PIDs matter for these emerging areas, how they support transparency and interoperability, and what practical steps institutions can take to implement them. Attendees will gain a clearer understanding of key PID systems like ORCID, DataCite, and RoR, and learn how expanding PID adoption can strengthen research visibility, accountability, and impact across disciplines.
Around the table this month:
- John Aspler, Manager, Canadian Persistent Identifier (PID) Community at the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN)
- Mike Nason, Open Scholarship & Publishing Librarian at the University of New Brunswick and an Open Scholarly Infrastructure Advisor with the Public Knowledge Project
- Thomas Guignard, acting Persistent Identifiers (PID) Librarian at Université Laval
