Knowledge Exchange

The purpose of the project is to investigate the operation and development of a well-functioning Persistent Identifier (PID) infrastructure. PID is a unique identifier for digital objects that can support modern digital research processes and contribute to Open Science and FAIR data management. There are many types of PIDs, DOIs for publications and datasets or Orcid for researchers to name a few. The following deliverables are planned:

• Case studies of PID infrastructures in the KE countries
• Analysis of risk and trust aspects of PID infrastructures.
• Recommendations to stakeholders on how to reduce risk and increase trust in a well-functioning PID infrastructure.

The project is led by Josefine Nordling, CSC and Frank Manista, JISC, for Knowledge Exchange. Rene Belsø, DeiC is the technical leader of the project.

The project is about improving the evaluation of research and researchers. Knowledge Exchange wants to create more recognition of contributions to Open Science and has therefore developed a proposal for a tool called Openness profile, which can highlight data management, FAIR data and other Open Science activities and can be included in research evaluations. Lorna E. Wildgaard (The Royal Library) participates as a Danish expert in the project. The project is led by Josefine Nordling (CSC) and Jean-Francois Nominé (CNRS).

The project is about making it easier for researchers to publish reproducible data. In this European project, Knowledge Exchange explores opportunities to improve social and technical infrastructures in relation to reproducible publishing. Birte Christensen Dalsgaard (Aarhus University) participates as a Danish expert in the project. The project is led by Juliane Kant (DFG) and Anna Mette Morthorst from DeiC.
