Update on Data Collaboration
Research Portal Denmark has concluded its collaboration with Digital Science, the provider of patent and publication data related to Denmark. As a result, the Portal’s Patent Database—previously based on Dimensions data—has been discontinued and is no longer accessible. In addition, publication data from Digital Science will no longer be included in the Global Database.
Research Portal Denmark thanks Digital Science for a productive, and valued collaboration.
