13. What is to be done?

14. What is to be done?
Everyone to contribute to, and benefit from, the PID commons.
Examples:
1. Repositories register PIDs for content they hold. Where relevant,
link to journal DOIs, DataCite DOIs, etc
2. Publishers register a DOI at acceptance, using Crossref guidance
on how to do this when no article is yet available
3. Funders take ownership of the development of a global research
project identifier registry, to ensure it is community-governed
4. Everyone require ORCIDs and use the ORCID API…
