News from Research Portal Denmark – data from Danish Institute for International Studies and new filter implemented
May 2023
The research portal’s database with data from local systems has now been expanded with data from DIIS – Danish Institute for International Studies. In addition, a new filter has been added to the database. The filter, called ‘Added On’, allows you to limit your search to for example display only the most recently added publications. This can be of help if you have a saved search that you would like to limit to only showing publications that have been added after the monthly update of the database. Find, search and export publication data from all the Danish data providers in the database with local data
New Danish affiliation groupings in Research Portal Denmark
February 2023
Following feedback from several of the users and data providers of the Research Portal, we have revisited and re-designed the original organizational affiliation categories that have been in use since the launch of the Research Portal Denmark last year. This has resulted in an expansion of the number of normalized Danish affilliation names (so-called NORA names) and the addition of further organization groupings, which can be found and used in for example the filter Danish Affiliations in all the databases. These additions should make the search experience in the Research Portal even better. Among the new groupings are Business Academies and Artistic Higher Education Institutions. Explore all the new organizations and categories in one of the portal’s current publication-based databases:
