Persistent identifiers (PIDs) are necessary to facilitate discoverability, citation, and re-use of research outputs today and in the future. A Digital Object Identifier (DOI) is one such a PID and helps research institutions and researchers to increase the visibility and impact of their publications.

This is a recording of an AfLIA/DataCite Webinar on PIDs and metadata. The resource can be used individually by librarians to understand about PIDs and the role of DataCite. The CPD coordinator could also play it at training sessions on PIDs.
