Exploring RAiD like workflows with figshare and Overleaf

Proposed session description (300 words maximum): One of the promising functions of RAiD identifiers is their ability to represent a research activities as they evolve. As research activities develop over time, RAid workflows shift from structured definition, to providing structure for new research outputs that the activity creates, and then finally to contributing to the discovery and provenance infrastructure necessary to build trust in research. Using the figshare project as a proxy for a RAiD activity definition, we demonstrate how RAid can facilitate the flow of metadata from creation through to publication - automatically creating publication authorship details from associated ORCiDs, and providing incentives for researchers to improve their ORCiD records in the process. Finally, by linking publication outputs to RAiD identifiers (our stand in figshare project), we demonstrate the advantages of leaving a RAiD id provenance trail in your research publication - making it easier to distinguish research that has been created over time vs fabricated outputs that may have been created by Paper Mills using generative AI.
