Recent Enhancements, News, and Activities

  • EZID’s big news this month was the introduction of link checking. EZID will be checking target URL links for DOIs and ARKs on a monthly basis, though for accounts with hundreds of thousands or millions of identifiers, links are checked only once every 3 to 4 months. Links that are broken will show up on EZID’s Dashboard page under Identifier Issues. Additionally, we will be sending out an Excel-compatible CSV file via email each month, starting in November. Full details about this new service can be found in this blog post.

EZID Service DescriptionEZID (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.
