x-operator-evidence: 'researchdata.gla.ac.uk is a CNAME to new-researchdata.lib.gla.ac.uk (130.209.34.138),

  This is the surface that in most of this cohort turns out to be a Figshare or Dataverse tenancy — at
  Glasgow it is not: the repository is the university''s own EPrints deployment and the DOIs are minted
  under the university''s own DataCite prefix.'
