Examples of basic services for FAIR data management
Abstract
As part of the FAIR Data Management module, this lecture introduces key examples of basic services supporting FAIR data practices through a hands-on approach. Students will explore the use of ORCID iD as a persistent researcher identifier, experiment with Zenodo Sandbox for data or publication deposit, and consult platforms such as Open Policy Finder (ex Sherpa Romeo) and DOAJ to check editorial policies related to open access and self-archiving rights.

ORCID ID for researchers
What is an ORCID? https://orcid.org/
About ORCID About ORCID - ORCID ORCID, which stands for Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a global, not-for-profit organization, headquartered in the United States (see the privacy policy), sustained by fees from member organizations. It is a community-built and governed by a Board of Directors representative of membership with wide stakeholder representation. ORCID is supported by a dedicated and knowledgeable professional staff. ORCID’s vision is a world where all who participate in research, scholarship, and innovation are uniquely identified and connected to their contributions across disciplines, borders, and time.
ORCID mission ORCID strives to enable transparent and trustworthy connections between researchers, their contributions, and their affiliations by providing a unique, persistent identifier for individuals to use as they engage in research, scholarship, and innovation activities. This is achived by providing three interrelated services: •The ORCID iD: a unique, persistent identifier free of charge to researchers •An ORCID record connected to the ORCID iD, and •A set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), as well as the services and support of communities of practice that enable interoperability between an ORCID record and member organizations so researchers can choose to allow connection of their iD with their affiliations and contributions About ORCID - ORCID
Register yourself with ORCID ID 1) Create an account on ORCID (sign in if you alredy have one). 2) Fill as many information as you can about your education and your research and work experience.
ZENODO
Zenodo open philosophy The name “Zenodo” is derived from Zenodotus, the first librarian of the Ancient Library of Alexandria and father of the first recorded use of metadata, a landmark in library history. Open in every sense Zenodo code is itself open source, and it is built on the foundation of the Invenio digital library which is also open source. The work-in-progress, open issues, and roadmap are shared openly in GitHub, and contributions to any aspect are welcomed from anyone. All meta data is openly available under CC0 license, and all open content is openly accessible through open APIs. Open to all suggestions for new features, via GitHub, and especially open to all contributions of code via pull requests! About | Zenodo
Register yourself on Zenodo Sandbox 1) Create an account on Zenodo Sandbox (new registration is mandatory). 2) Search for MDMC 25-26 Prova community and enter the community. 3) Upload a document in the community and fill all the metadata, be creative ☺. 4) Submit a document for review (I will receive your request and will review your submission for publication).
