DataCite Connect Livingstone 2024 (#DataCiteConnect24)
November 4, 2024 @ 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm CAT
Get Global Visibility for Your ETDs With PIDs
The DataCite community will convene in Livingstone on 04 November 2024 to discuss how we can increase the visibility of theses and dissertations (ETDs) through the use of persistent identifiers (PIDs). In the session, we will discuss the value of PIDs, more specifically Digital Object Identifiers, in ETD workflows. We will present use cases of institutions implementing DataCite infrastructure for ETDs, data, and other workflows. The session will include several interactive components, such as breakouts to discuss PIDs and metadata best practices for ETDs.
This is an in-person event that will not be recorded. Slides of the speakers will be made available afterwards. Make sure to use the hashtag #DataCiteConnect24 when sharing your experience on socials.
For more information, please read the wrap-up blog post of the event.
