Research Portal Denmark

February 2023

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

• A re-organization- and new groupings of Danish Affiliations and NORA names have been implemented. New affiliation groupings added are: Artistic Higher Education Institutions, Business Academies, Governmental Institutions, Non-Profit Organizations and GTS Institutes

Imported Data

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

Data Enhancements

• Danish affiliation names from the set of Dimensions 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 Digital Science’s UN SDG classification from Dimensions as they are tagged on the individual Dimension record
• AU/NZ FoR Classification is added based on Digital Science’s FoR classification from Dimensions as they are tagged on the individual Dimensions record
• OECD Classification is added based on the official ANZSRC 2020 FoR correspondence to FORD 2015 mapping using Digital Science’s FoR Classification as they are tagged on the individual Dimensions record 
• The Danish classification scheme DK Main Research Area is added based on a NORA mapping from Digital Science’s FoR Classification as they are tagged on the individual Dimensions record
• 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
• Digital Science’s Open Access types are mapped to a standardized NORA OA terminology

• Keywords are based on Digital Science’s Concepts as they are added on the individual Dimension 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 are primarily based on the normalization of these names in the context of the Digital Science’s GRID database. Danish affiliation name variants without a GRID will also be mapped to a NORA name if the name variant occurs in a greater share of the publications
• Danish affiliations without a GRID can be hard to identify as indeed being Danish owing to the way affiliation information is structured on the individual record level. Hence affiliation name variants with less than two records connected to the specific affiliation name variant are not mapped to any Danish affiliation names or groupings
• 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

Filter Functionality

• Groups as a Contributors sub-filter is not available
• Languages as a filter is not available
