Description

This session explores how persistent identifiers (PIDs) can be aligned to support sustainable Diamond Open Access in Africa. Bringing together perspectives from ORCID-WACA, Crossref, institutional stewardship frameworks, and emerging integration platforms, the discussion highlights how identity, interoperability, and preservation can be coordinated within a coherent multi-PID ecosystem. The focus is on strengthening African research visibility while ensuring long-term institutional responsibility and governance.
