Connecting research outputs from
creation to citation

Our PID service, provided by Max Planck Information and Technology (MaxIT), supports researchers and institutions in the adoption and use of Persistent Identifiers (PIDs). We act as a point of contact for questions and provide guidance on suitable PID systems, helping to improve the discoverability, accessibility, and long-term identification of research outputs, resources, researchers and organizations.

What we Offer:

  • Guidance on choosing the most suitable PID system for your needs
  • DOI assignment – for more information, please visit our dedicated page
  • Support for the management of ROR IDs (Research Organization Registry) associated with Max Planck Institutes
  • Support for RRID (Research Resource Identifiers) registration and maintenance
  • Integration advice for institutional systems and workflows
  • Recommendations for PID maintenance and long-term sustainability
