CRIStin in the Norwegian research landscape

Abstract

CRIStin as the national CRIS in Norway is an important hub for metadata in the research ecosystem. The presentation provides an overview of work in progress and shows some examples of how CRIStin gathers data "in real-time" about Norwegian research publications and research projects and serves as a hub to make metadata about Norwegian research easily available for reuse and further studies. Another area of activity supported by CRIStin is using reported publication data as a source for OA-monitoring. Work is also being done for an improved data quality and ease of administration by implementing the new API from NSD to improve data flow between CRIStin and The Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers.

At the CRIS2016 conference we presented the new integration with The Regional Committees for Medical and Health Research Ethics (SPREK), http://hdl.handle.net/11366/513. At the Helsinki membership meeting 2019 a work in progress is presented based on this integration to establish a new indicator for hospitals on a subset of health projects (number of patients included in clinical trials).

In other news: We are also on the verge of getting new types of institutions in Cristin. In addition to the hospitals, research institutes and HE institutions, Cristin will include archives, museums and libraries.
