Ex Libris, a ProQuest company, has announced the launch of new research portal capabilities in the Ex Libris Esploro™ research information management solution. With Esploro, institutions can deploy a fully branded portal that enables researchers, funders, industry stakeholders, and the public to access publications, explore researchers’ work, and find scholarly expertise. The new portal is in use by Esploro customers since September 2021.
The Esploro-enabled research portal draws on the comprehensive data in the Esploro research information hub, which contains multiple types of scholarly information, such as publications, data sets, creative works, projects, and media mentions. The portal enables users to search for publications and researchers with relevant expertise; navigate between researcher profiles; and obtain a comprehensive view of a researcher’s work, affiliations, achievements, and previously awarded grants.
Universities can customize the portal to display their brand and make the portal accessible from their website. Configuration is versatile and self-explanatory, enabling institutions to meet their specific needs in showcasing research and researcher profiles. Developed according to search engine optimization (SEO) guidelines, the portal framework allows for comprehensive, accurate indexing by search engines and Google Scholar.
