In this presentation, we will look at the state of interlinking between ORCID, DOI and other Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) across the Australian research ecosystem. We provide a quantitative description on how the connection between grants, publications, datasets and other research objects are discoverable across Australian research infrastructures.
This work is inspired by the vision of improving interoperability between Australian research infrastructures, and we hope to gain a better understanding of the gaps in adoption of PIDs, and identify new opportunities to improve connectedness in the Australian research ecosystem.
Our presentation is supported by the Research Graph Foundation, and we have leveraged open scholarly information provided by ORCID, Crossref, DataCite, RAiD, ROR, WikiData, and Scholix initiative, that include connections between 300 million research objects. We have benefited from the Research Graph entity resolution engine that connects organisations across this network to ROR, ISNI and WikiData. This capability provided the support to connect 105,997 ORCID profiles to 1,717 Australian research institutions such as hospitals, government agencies, medical centres, and all Australian Universities. Our work demonstrates how PIDs have been used by staff and students working in diverse Australian organisations leading to new opportunities to discover and connect research and research outcomes in Australia.
Biography:
Amir Aryani is the founder of Research Graph Technology and the secretary of the Research Graph Foundation. Since 2015, the Foundation has contributed to a number of research and infrastructure projects on interlinking and knowledge mining from the distributed network of scholarly records. In other capacities, Amir leads the Swinburne node for the Centre for Information Resilience (CIRES) and Social Data Analytics Lab at Swinburne. He is an adjunct professor at the University of Canberra, and he is leading the Data CO-OP platform, a joint venture with Swinburne, the University of Canberra, Griffith University and a number of other universities working closely with local/state governments and the non-profit sector on building data collaborative projects.
