We are delighted to announce that Ireland’s National Persistent Identifier (PID) Strategy and Roadmap, Impact, Openness, Interoperability: Recommendations and a Roadmap for an Irish National PID Strategy, will be launched during a private meeting of the nineteen NORF-funded open research projects on Friday, 25 October, 10:00-10:45.

This is the final output in the NORF-led project to develop a national roadmap for the adoption of a range of Peristent Identifiers in accordance with A.4.4.2 of the National Action Plan for Open Research 2022-2030. Earlier this year, we published Efficiency and Insight: A cost-benefit analysis for a central support service to support persistent identifier implementation in the Republic of Ireland.

To help deliver this, NORF commissioned the scholarly communications consultants MoreBrains Cooperative to carry out a review and analysis of the Irish landscape. Their work has included conducting a national survey and carrying out community consultations through workshops and focus groups. They have been supported in their work by a national taskforce. We would like to thank everyone who got involved in these community consultations and helped with this work.

To coincide with the launch of the National PID Strategy and Roadmap, Alice Meadows, a co-founder of the MoreBrains Cooperative, recently shared a case study in the Scholarly Kitchen about how the Irish community were engaged for the project. Read the case study
