Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) – globally unique digital codes – connect people (scholars), places (research institutions), and things (research outputs) across the research landscape. PIDs enable disambiguation, connection of metadata, and interoperability of software systems. ORCID iDs are the PID used to identify scholars. In this session, John Aspler (Manager, Canadian PID Community) will explore how ORCID works, its ideal integration into publishing workflows, and how to practically integrate and use the ORCID integration in OJS.

Speaker bio: John Aspler, Manager of the Canadian Persistent Identifier Community at CRKN-RCDR,  graduated from McGill with a PhD in Neuroscience, where his passion for public science literacy led him to work on projects on media discourse about neurodevelopmental diagnoses. In his role at CRKN, John combines his love of scholarship with a love of libraries by dedicating himself to community service and knowledge access.
