Role of Persistent Identifier for the Knowledge Repositories - IIT Hyderabad

Abstract:  This paper would like to emphasize the persistent Identifier "ORCID" and its impact on the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad [IITHYD] Institutional Repository. With the advent of the PID Open Researcher and Contributor ID [ORCID] into the faculty profile management systems at the IITHYD, the visibility factor of the IITHYD intellectual research output had a significant impact. The phase-wise shift of the institutional repositories embedding the vitality of the persistent identifiers has changed the perception of the institutional repositories as one channel for creating the awareness of research visibility, encouraging the researchers to publish in the repositories for better outreach of the research.
