Research projects don’t fail, research systems do. As teams, funding, and institutions shift, project context is routinely lost. RAiD (Research Activity Identifier) fixes this structural flaw by making research projects persistent, traceable entities in the scholarly record. This article explores why RAiD is fast becoming essential research infrastructure and how it reshapes collaboration, attribution, and long-term research accountability.

Journal delays, scattered data, and compliance hurdles now decide priority in scientific publishing. myLaminin's latest article reveals how Research Data Management, preprints, FAIR data, and secure global collaboration help researchers publish first without cutting ethical or regulatory corners.

Persistent Identifiers are now table stakes in research but most teams are using them poorly, inconsistently, or not at all. DOIs, ROR IDs, ORCIDs, and RAiDs promise transparency and credit, yet fragmented adoption creates gaps, broken links, and lost attribution. This article exposes where PID practices fail and why integrated, lifecycle-wide implementation is becoming impossible to ignore.

Non-compliance in research is more than a policy risk, it’s a financial and reputational one. With rising regulatory demands across Canada, the U.S., and Europe, many teams underestimate the true cost of getting it wrong. This article explores the real-world impact of non-compliance, from lost funding to multi-million-dollar fines, and introduces a practical Cost of Non-Compliance Calculator to help assess your risk.

Researchers today must navigate a complex landscape of privacy, security, and compliance requirements. This compliance primer breaks down five key frameworks—HIPAA, PHIPA, PIPEDA, GDPR, and NIST 800-171—highlighting what they cover, how they differ, and why they matter. Learn how consent, data protection, technical security, and cross-border responsibilities intersect, and what research teams need to stay compliant in a global, data-driven environment.
