Recent Enhancements, News, and Activities

    • The EZID user interface redesign launched in mid-June. The redesign features include:
      • Usage statistics
      • Identifier search
      • New identifier management tools, including metadata and statistics download
      • A new, mobile friendly design

EZID Service Manager Joan Starr held a webinar to introduce the new site on June 22, and a recording of the presentation is available on EZID’s new media page.

  • EZID clients engaged in several interesting discussions this month. For example, one client asked how others were describing data publications using the DataCite metadata schema. Various approaches were suggested, and Starr, the co-chair of DataCite’s Metadata Working Group, brought the topic to the Working Group for further exploration. You can read the exchanges in the listserv archive.

EZID Service Description

EZID (easy-eye-dee) is a production service that gives researchers the ability to create and manage long-term identifiers so that they can to track usage, get credit for their work, share their data, and have the data reused for additional research. As a result, EZID identifiers also make it possible to increase citations, to build on previous work, to conduct new research, and avoid duplicating previous efforts.
