The SPARC Portal is an open neuroscience and systems physiology platform containing multi-species data, knowledge, computational modeling and spatial mapping.
Join Sue, Paloma and Mary as they share tips on making your PIDs work for you! SPARC utilizes both @orcid.org and @datacite.org persistent identifiers to tie researchers more visibly to their research efforts. 🧪

Join us tomorrow at 11 am ET: datacite.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
February 9, 2026 at 1:09 PM
Celebrate International Love Data Week with a hands-on SPARC Seminar on persistent identifiers. With SPARC as a use case, learn how ORCID and @datacite.org improve research attribution and discoverability. sparc.science/news-and-eve...
