About Local Systems Database
A number of Danish Research Institutions with local systems (CRIS) for registering their publication outputs are data partners in this database of Danish research, observed from the local perspective based on locally curated data. The data partners contribute data as well as expertise in order to achieve the best possible result. To see a list of current as well as potential data partners, read more under Data Partners.
May 2022
Beta release of the portal database with data from Danish Local Systems, which in this beta version solely includes publication metadata
Imported Data
Publication data 2011 to date from the 8 Danish universities
Some data exchange problems have been addressed which, for institutions currently using Pure as CRIS, required an update to version 5.23.1. Currently all universities, except RUC and ITU have upgraded
Data Enhancements
Danish affiliation names from the Danish Local Systems’ publication records are mapped to standard forms (NORA names) and grouped in categories like Universities, Private Research etc. This is an ongoing effort
Collaboration countries are mapped into Regions in a standardized form (NORA names) of analytical interest, like OECD, EU etc.
Interlinking across all four databases has been implemented based on DOI-matching
Multi-affiliation is now reflected on a contributor level
Group collaborations are now reflected in the data and added as a Contributors sub-filter
Filter Functionality
Improved filter functionality
Updated filter names
Search Functionality
Improved versions of basic as well as expert search
Updated search codes for basic and expert search
Added a simple, Google-like, search option
Full Record View
Changes to sidebar in order to make the info appear more structured
Keywords added
Export Functionality
Export of up to 20.000 records have been implemented. Metadata fields derive from the National Exchange Format, DDF-MXD named according to the NORA filters and fields
Help and Guides
Currently we provide in-context help in the form of mouse-overs and pop-up windows
Imported Data
Only the universities are currently included and a number of issues were discovered in the transfer of data from their local systems to the portal. These have now been corrected in collaboration with the software vendor and will be made available in the early March Pure software update, version 5.23.1. All universities except RUC and ITU have now updated. Data on ‘Author Collaborations’ as well as multi affiliation is hence not yet reflected in the data from RUC and ITU
The different institutions have set up their web service/API from their local system in different ways, which means that only some institutions displays unpublished, submitted and in-press records in the NORA database while others do not
Some University Hospital publications are registered at the Universities and hence will appear as University publications
During 2022 we will begin the integration of data from the Esploro system of Royal Danish Defense College
During 2022 we will furthermore begin integration of data from other Danish Research Institutions. See under Data Partners for a full list of research institutions to be included
Danish Affiliation Names
We collaborate with the Data Partners in order to keep securing the best possible metadata on Danish affiliation names from the CRIS systems
Help and Guides
As we move along – and collect user feedback – we’ll add more user guides, PDFs as well as videos
