Research Portal Denmark

November 2022

• Beta-2 release (May 2022) of the portal database with Clarivate data, which in this beta version solely includes publication metadata

Imported Data

• Web of Science (WoS) publication data with Danish country code from 2011 to date (year and country as defined by the data provider)

• Additional information from InCites for this set of WoS publication records

Data Enhancements

• Danish affiliation names from the set of WoS publication records are mapped to Danish Affiliations in a standardized form (NORA names) and grouped in categories like Universities, Private Research etc. This is an ongoing effort

• UN SDG Classification is added based on Clarivate’s UN SDG classification from InCites Citation Topics as they are tagged on the individual WoS record

• AU/NZ FoR Classification is added based on Clarivate’s FoR classification from journals as they are tagged on the individual WoS record

• OECD Classification is added based on Clarivate’s OECD classification from WoS categories as they are tagged on the individual WoS record

• The Danish classification scheme DK Main Research Area is added based on a NORA mapping from WoS subject categories as they are tagged on the individual WoS records

• Collaboration Countries are mapped into Collaboration Regions of analytical interest, like OECD, EU etc. Regions are in standardized form (NORA names)

• Interlinking across all four databases (Matching Records in) has been implemented based on DOI-matching

• Clarivate’s Open Access types are mapped to a standardized NORA OA terminology

• Keywords are based on the Author Keywords as they are added on the individual WoS record

Help and Guides

• Currently we provide in-context help in the form of mouse-overs and pop-up windows

• On the website you can find the presentation/webinar Introduction to NORA and Research Portal Denmark

Analytics Functionality

• Is being developed and will be added at a later stage

Imported Data

• When harvesting/importing publication data we rely on the country code(s) the data provider relates to the publication records – this means:
  • Records with Danish affiliations, but no Danish country code are consequently not included in the NORA database
  • Records with Denmark as a country code, but without any explicit Danish affiliations are consequently included in the NORA database

Danish Affiliation Names

• Mapping of Danish affiliation names to NORA standard names is primarily based on Clarivate’s normalization of these names in the Affiliation field (formerly Organization-Enhanced). If you think the normalization of your institution’s name variants could be improved – read more here on how you may work with Clarivate to do this 

  • This becomes explicit in the NORA names category ‘Hospitals’, because some Danish university hospitals, as of now, only are connected to a normalized university name variant in WoS. We are working with Clarivate to see how we may improve this  

• Affiliations with country code Denmark, which in the mapping process are identified as falsely classified as Danish, will not be mapped to any Danish affiliation names or groupings

Full Record View

• Abstract is only displayed if the publication is Open Access

• Funder and Publisher information is not displayed

Help and Guides

• As we move along – and collect user feedback – more user guides, PDFs as well as videos will be added
