Unlocking socioeconomic potential through global collaboration: connecting researchers to research output

As Team Science and global collaborations expand, the metadata about the research teams, including affiliation, funder, grant, and specific contribution information, will be a critical part of measuring the socioeconomic impact of open research as well as enabling equity and inclusion in research funding. Although there are mechanisms in place to tag research output with critical identifiers such as DOIs, ORCIDs, OpenFunder IDs, RORs and Ringgolds, the collection and validation of these identifiers remains inconsistent, hampering the industry’s ability to connect researchers to research.
Who is responsible for collecting and validating researcher information? What is the role of publishers or research and submission platforms vs. research institutions or funders? What organizations or activities will drive dramatic improvements to the accuracy and persistence of this data and how? What parts of open access publishing, open science, and DEI will fail when this researcher data is subpar?
This panel will bring together industry leaders to discuss the infrastructure that exists today, what is still needed, and how it can facilitate global collaboration and the measurement of its impact; efficient and cost-effective OA publishing; and improved research assessment, including credit for and measurement of research contributions.

Unlocking socioeconomic potential through global collaboration: connecting researchers to research output

As Team Science and global collaborations expand, the metadata about the research teams, including affiliation, funder, grant, and specific contribution information, will be a critical part of measuring the socioeconomic impact of open research as well as enabling equity and inclusion in research funding. Although standard identifiers such as DOIs, ORCIDs, OpenFunder IDs, and RORs are widely used, the persistent sharing and accuracy of many identifiers related to research output is still subpar compared to the rapid progress being made in global collaboration and the overall evolution of the research ecosystem.
