Abstract

This study proposes a selection plan for research entities and PIDs and a strategy for building and operating a PID consortium based on a survey of advanced cases of research entities and PID operations in major countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Japan, China, and Australia. The criteria for selecting research entities and PIDs are ‘research life cycle’ and ‘PID infrastructure maturity’. Based on the two selection criteria, it is proposed to prioritize research entity-PID pairs such as ‘Researcher-ORCID’, ‘Publication-DOI’, ‘Data-DOI’, ‘Institution-ROR’, ‘Grant-DOI’, and ‘Project-RAiD’ and expand to other research entities and PIDs in the emerging stage. The strategy for establishing and operating a PID consortium should encourage the participation of various PID takeholders, identify the latest trends through collaborative networks with domestic and international PID organizations, lead education and outreach activities to raise awareness and increase utilization of PID, and secure policy support and financial stability. This is expected to lay the foundation for domestic research entities to gain visibility and accessibility at the global level.
