> Persistent Identifiers, commonly referred to as PIDs, play a pivotal role in fostering trust within scholarly publications while concurrently enhancing publication discoverability and accessibility. Join this session to learn about the multifaceted value of PIDs at different levels, including authors, articles, and journals. The second part of this webinar will explore practical skills around PIDs, plugins, integrations, and interoperability for Open Journal Systems (OJS) users. Join this webinar and learn to think more maximally about metadata in your OJS publications!
