Research Portal Denmark

15 May 2022

• Beta-2 release 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

• 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 categories related to the 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

Imported Data

• When harvesting/importing publication data we rely on the country code(s) Clarivate relates to the publication records – this means:

  • Records that have a Danish affiliation, but no Danish country code are consequently not included in the NORA database

  • Records that have a Danish country code, but do not have an explicit Danish affiliation are included in the NORA database, but are not mapped to any of the Danish Affiliations names in the standardized form, but rather to ‘Other Research’

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  

Full Record View

• For the Clarivate publication data we only show Abstracts if the publication is Open Access 

• For the Clarivate publication data we do not show Funder or Publisher information in the full view of the records

Help and Guides

• As we move along – and collect user feedback – we’ll add more user guides, PDFs as well as videos
