PIDapalooza 2018

With Crossref’s late 2017 introduction of support for peer review reports and other review outputs, such as referee reports, decision letters, and author responses, PIDs - for people, places, and things - are now being used throughout the peer review process. This new functionality will is aimed at enabling better citation, recognition, and discoverability of peer reviews, as well as increasing transparency of the peer review process. This session will describe how PIDs have been integrated into the process for journal articles, highlight opportunities and challenges around adoption and use, and raise the question about what is needed for other forms of peer review, such as grant application, conference abstract submission, and annotation. We will present updated statistics on uptake of ORCID and Crossref’s peer review functionality and brainstorm ways to increase future adoption through community engagement and evangelization to researchers and their organizations.
