“…Our study focused on the Finnish context, however our results suggest that CRIS data can be a useful resource for responsible assessment also in other countries. Hundreds of research performing and funding organisations have institutional CRISs, and also in several other countries institutional CRIS data has been integrated at national level (Sīle et al, 2017(Sīle et al, , 2018. Completeness, correctness, consistency, and timeliness are required of any publication data used for evaluative metrics, however CRIS data requires relatively strong effort to ensure sufficiently rich and structured metadata on outputs including all types and languages (Azeroual & Schöpfel, 2019;Sīle et al, 2019).…”

“…As mentioned above, integration of CRIS data at national level is not something that is unique to Finland; in fact some countries, like Norway for example, predated Finland in this (Sīle et al, 2017;Sivertsen, 2019). Possibilities for producing uniform national level data on publications and corresponding CRIS depend on at least a couple of factors.…”

Research performance and scholarly communication profile of competitive research funding: the case of Academy of Finland

The Academy of Finland (AKA), Finland’s major public research funding agency, uses a Web of Science (WoS) based bibliometric indicator to assess the performance of research it has funded. We use an alternative methodology to compare (1) the research performance and (2) the scholarly communication profile of AKA-funded research to the Finnish universities’ entire output across the major fields of arts and sciences. Our data consists of 142,742 publications (years 2015–2018) registered in the national information service, which integrates Current Research Information System (CRIS) data of 13 Finnish universities. Research performance is analyzed using the Finnish community-curated expert-based rating of publication channels (so-called JUFO). Our results show that compared to the Finnish universities’ entire output a larger share of AKA-funded research is published in leading JUFO rated journals and book publishers. JUFO and WoS-based indicators produced consonant results regarding the performance of AKA-funded research. Analysis of publication profiles shows that AKA-funded research is more focused than the universities’ output on using peer-reviewed publications, articles published in journals, English language, foreign publishers and open access publishing. We conclude that the CRIS-based publication data can support multidimensional assessments of research performance and scholarly communication profiles, potentially also in other countries and institutions. CRIS development and maintenance require multi-stakeholder commitment, resources and incentives to ensure data quality and coverage. To fully recognize diverse open science practices and to enable international comparisons, CRISs need further development and integration as data sources.

“…We carried out a literature review of similar registries and the related literature. Registries of data sources and databases are a common practice in academia, for example, to describe national bibliographic databases (Sīle et al, 2017) and services for persistent identifiers (PIDs) in a structured manner (PID Services Registry, 2020).…”

In this article, we describe the Registry of Scientometric Data Sources (RSDS) and several scientometric data sources recorded in this open registry that could be of interest for scientometricians, institutional researchers, librarians, practitioners, policy makers, students and other stakeholders with an interest in scientometrics. This registry was created after carrying out a literature review and a technical evaluation of several data sources. Each data source is recorded with descriptive metadata fields and URLs to further information. This article describes the motivation behind the development of the registry, explains the features that are available on its public website (https://labs.tib.eu/rosi), and closes with a call for participation.

“…In the last two decades, the construction of national databases and information systems has gained momentum. In Europe alone, the number of databases and information systems operated at institutional, regional as well as at the national level has been rapidly increasing (Ribeiro et al, 2016;Sīle et al, 2017). On the one hand, this expansion of data sources collecting data on research outputs in social sciences (and science in general) offers resources that can be used in research assessment, monitoring, and for understanding of research practices in a broader sense.…”
