Persistent Identifiers (PIDs) are a cornerstone of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles, and we are thrilled to introduce a major step forward in enabling their adoption within catalysis research.

Why PIDs Matter:
- PIDs ensure global, unique identification of critical research resources.
- They are already widely accepted for publications (DOIs) and researchers (ORCID).
- Extending their use to samples, materials, and devices interlinks data seamlessly and enhances reproducibility.
Our Vision:
- Simplified Access: Making PIDs easy to adopt for catalysis researchers.
- Broad Integration: Encouraging their use across ELNs and LIMS.
- Cost Effectiveness: Providing PIDs at reasonable costs to all researchers.
Through our newly established PID gateway, we aim to overcome technical barriers such as the limitations of handle software APIs. Our multi-user and multi-institution access gateway enables secure, streamlined interaction with the handle server.
Join us in adopting PIDs early in your research process to unlock the full potential of interconnected data and advance catalysis research globally.
