Ex Libris, a ProQuest company, has announced a partnership with DataCite, a global organization that provides persistent identifiers (DOIs) for research outputs and data. The integration between the Ex Libris Esploro™ research information management solution and the DataCite service enables researchers and librarians to seamlessly publish institutional research work and facilitates the discovery, citation, and tracking of the publications and underlying datasets via unique identifiers.
Esploro enhances the discoverability of research outputs and data by including the complete set of metadata for each research asset, along with its identifier. When any change is made to research outputs in the Esploro system, the metadata in the DataCite platform is automatically updated.
According to Nadav Doron, Ex Libris vice president of research information management solutions, commented, this collaboration with DataCite is an important step in supporting the interoperability of data and systems in the research ecosystem and helping customers comply with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) guidelines. The Ex Libris-DataCite partnership enable easy discoverability and accessibility of research outputs. In a single click, customers can now obtain DOIs, leveraging Esploro’s rich, up-to-date metadata.
