Revealed: The Powerful Alliance Revolutionizing How African Innovation in Scholarly Research Is Discovered
TCC Africa’s Open Infrastructure program includes the Africa PID Alliance, whose mission is to secure the future of African innovation, indigenous knowledge, and cultural heritage. It supports scientists and inventors in disseminating and commercializing their research innovations.
CCC’s leading persistent identifier (PID)-based solution, Ringgold, contains more than 750,000 records of global organizations engaged in scholarly research. Ringgold has been trusted by 80 publishers, service providers, and funders for more than 20 years. TCC Africa will use a subset of Ringgold organization data within the Digital Object Container Identifier (DOCiD). CCC will incorporate updates to African institutions in the Ringgold database.
