Jerusalem, Israel—March 10, 2021. Ex Libris, a ProQuest company, is pleased to announce its partnership with DataCite, a leading global organization that provides persistent identifiers (DOIs) for research outputs and data. The integration between the Ex Libris Esploro™ research information management solution and the DataCite service enables researchers and librarians to seamlessly publish institutional research work and facilitates the discovery, citation, and tracking of the publications and underlying datasets via unique identifiers.
Ex Libris is an active participant in the community of all those striving to make research outputs discoverable, citable, and connected through interoperable standards and technologies.
Esploro enhances the discoverability of research outputs and data by including the complete set of metadata for each research asset, along with its identifier. When any change is made to research outputs in the Esploro system, the metadata in the DataCite platform is automatically updated.

Achieving service provider certification signifies not only that Esploro’s integration with DataCite exemplifies best practices, but also that Ex Libris is an active participant in the community of all those striving to make research outputs discoverable, citable, and connected through interoperable standards and technologies.”
