The practice of China Science & Technology Resource identifier (CSTR) in National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC)

Persistent identifiers (PIDs) play an important role in scientific data management, especially in data publication and citation to support the findability and accessibility of scientific data. Data organizations and institutions in China are increasingly aware of PIDs as required for implementation of the FAIR principles, and as a result, many good practices have been developed. It is worth noting that China has also established a persistent identifier, namely the China Science & Technology Resource identifier (CSTR). In my session I will share a typical case of National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) embedding four types of PIDs into its workflows, exemplifying the application of PIDs in scientific data management in China. In these four types, I will emphasize the case of CSTR.
