  4. Thanks God, a simpleSummary • Research project assessment • National research assessment exercise

  5. Project assessment (1/2) • Each year • All in one month • Only electronic submission • A personal workspace for each researcher • We know all about them • (219.144 registered users, with carriers and curricula) • We have scientific production of all of them • (3.333.615 publications) • A catalogue of scientific journal titles • (201.903 journals)

  6. Project assessment (2/2) >4.000 project proposals presented every year (56.172 research projects in the last 12 years) >13.000 organizational units involved >6.500 international experts for peer review A ranking is calculated Funds assignment Monitoring the financial data during project life-cycle Collect periodical reports and final statements

  7. Summary • Research project assessment • National research assessment exercise

  8. national research assessment exercise (1/2) • Covers from 3 to 5 years • Only the best research products • Bibliometric indicators • Peer review • Good ranking position means more funds and salary increase

  9. national research assessment exercise (2/2) • First exercise was successfully concluded in 2006 • 17.329 products were evaluated by 151 panelist, assisted by 6.661 international experts • At least 2 blind reviews per product • Final ranking calculated by scientific area and by structure • A new (bigger!) exercise will start very soon

  10. interoperability • Universities and Research Institutions can exchange data with the National Research Information System via: • web services • file upload/download • OAI-PMH (work in progress)

  11. standards • Researchers’ curricula are in Europass format. We are going to use the same format for University professors CVs soon. • We are working to provide research projects data according to the CERIF 2008 standard. • For publications metadata exchange we use many formats, but our main reference is MODS.

  15. CINECA’s vision on research processes • Project management internally and externally funded (Gov, EU, Industry): administering the grant, complying with regulations, reporting to funders. • Research results repository management (publications, patents, conference speeches, proceedings..) • Research results assessment (publication, projects, research groups) • Research assets management (research teams and groups, research units, laboratories, equipments, facilities, skills..) • Dissemination and Technology transfer • Integration with national and istitutional repositories/systems • Projects • Results • Assessment • Assets • Dissemination

  16. U-GOV Research facts and figures • U-GOV Research installations: 35 • Managed publications: 432.773 • Year 2009 publications: 197.654 • End users: 26.538 • Publications linked to ministerial systems: 177.350 • Reviewed/Assessed publications: 46.734

  18. U-GOV & Full Interoperability Ministerial Systems

  19. What future for interoperability ? • standards are a feasible goal • but • standards come through adoption • so… • we need to build tangible services for the research community on top of standardization !
