Recent Enhancements, News, and Activities
- We shared EZID’s development roadmap for the next 18 to 24 months: https://confluence.ucop.edu/display/DataCite/2016-2018+EZID+Roadmap.
The roadmap includes a combination of back-end and front-end work, so whether you interact with EZID via the application programming interface (API) or the user interface (UI), you will see some enhancements in the coming months.

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.
