Recent Enhancements, News, and Activities

EZID announced a major shift in its DOI service, scaling back its scope of business to encompass solely the University of California (UC). Non-UC clients will be gradually transitioned to an alternate DOI service provider. More details are available here: http://cdlib.org/2017/08/04/ezid-doi-service-is-evolving/. What does this mean for you, specifically?

  • If you are a University of California (UC) EZID user, you will have no change in service.
  • If you are not associated with UC and you utilize the EZID ARK service only, you will have no change in service.
  • If you are not associated with UC and you use DOI services, then we will be working with you on a rolling basis as your annual subscription comes up for renewal. If you wish to make a change prior to that time, please contact ezid@ucop.edu.

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.
