Edinburgh Research Explorer (Elsevier Pure) — tenant

Edinburgh Research Explorer is the University's public research information portal, running on Elsevier Pure. The research outputs, the people and the DOIs are Edinburgh's; the API contract is Elsevier's and belongs on Elsevier's own record. Recorded here as a real tenant relationship rather than deleted or credited. The Pure OAI-PMH endpoint returned HTTP 500 on both www.pure.ed.ac.uk/ws/oai and www.research.ed.ac.uk/ws/oai when probed on 2026-08-19, so the harvesting surface is currently broken; the previous dead pointer to it has been removed.
