<p class="MsoNormal">EDP Sciences, in collaboration with the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is delighted to announce the introduction of links between
<i>Astronomy & Astrophysics (A&A)</i> articles and corresponding ESO datasets. This initiative establishes
<i>A&A</i> as the first major astronomy journal to feature such links, significantly enhancing research discoverability and facilitating a more comprehensive reader experience.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ESO Telescope Bibliography (<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><a href="https://telbib.eso.org/"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#0563C1">ESO telbib</span></a></span>), a longstanding resource developed and curated by the ESO Library,
Documentation and Information Services (LDIS) department, references articles published in the major astronomy journals that utilize ESO data. Now, the
<i>A&A</i> publication platform, maintained by EDP Sciences, integrates direct links to the associated datasets at ESO telbib by leveraging its API. This development offers researchers approximately 8000 links to ESO data<i>,</i> enabling them to explore and
analyze the linked data seamlessly.<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By simply following the "ESO data at telbib"* links on the <i>
A&A</i> publishing platform, readers can easily access the corresponding datasets. This integration expands upon EDP Sciences' existing provision of direct links to essential astronomy databases, including the
<span style="font-size:12.0pt"><a href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#0563C1">NASA ADS Abstract Service</span></a></span> and the
