FECYT - Integrating Research Information at a National Scale: The Normalized CV (CVN) Project and beyond 5/11/2012
Index • FECYT • Brief presentation • Department of scientific information management • CVN • Brief presentation • Previous common scenario • Birth • Present situation • Problems (2) • Needs
Promoting its INTEGRATION AND APPROACH to society, by responding to the needs and expectations of the Spanish and Technology System PROMOTING science and innovation FECYT – Brief Presentation (I) • Spanish Fundation for Science and Technology • Public Fundation created in 2001. • Key leader in disseminating, communicating and measuring science and innovation in order to contribute to the development of a knowledge-based economy • Reinforce a value chain of knowledge
FECYT – Brief Presentation (I) • FECYT initiatives: • A Culture of Science and Innovation for All • To bring science closer to the public through actions at various interest groups • A Culture of Science and Innovation for Children and Young People • FECYT mantains an active commintment toward promoting a culture of science and innovation among children and young people • A Culture of Science and Innovation for the Media (SINC) • FECYT manages a services to provide Science NEWS • A culture to bring science closer to the community of researchers in other countries • The Spanish R&D&I observatory (ICONO) • It generates and analyses the most up to date information in relation to the main indicators in science and innovation • Resources and Services for Researchers* Groups of interest of the FECYT: The Media, Society, European Organisms, Autonomous Regions, Local Adm. Educational System, SECTE, OPIS, Universities, Science Museums, Ministry, Gen. State Adm.
DEPARTMENT OF SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION MANAGEMENT • Spanish Scientific Journals Support Program • Open Access projects • Normalized Curriculum Vitae (CVN): Format To exchange research information among systems. Implemented in 38 universities TO PROMOTE VISIBILITY AND POSITIONING OF THE SCIENTIFC PRODUCTION TO REACH INTERNATIONAL SCOPE • Support digital repositories infraestructure. • OpenScience harvester • Platform suport and encourages open access • in all SpanishR+D institutions • Facilitate access to scientific resources (Web of Knowledge and Scopus) TO FACILITATE THE MANAGEMENT AND EFECTIVE COORDINATION OF SCIENTIFIC RESOURCES RESOURCES AND SERVICES FOR RESEARCHES
CVN – Brief Presentation - Previous Common Scenario (I) Researchers Funding institution (Ministry of Economy) Research Information Curriculum Vitae • Funding institutions store a huge amount of information • But… difficult to process
CVN – Brief Presentation - Previous Common Scenario (II) • Let’s use information technologies • Applicants must enter their data through web forms
CVN – Brief Presentation - Previous Common Scenario (III) Universities Quality Agencies Funding Institutions • Researchers spend around 2 weeks introducing their data every time they apply for funds, quality evaluations …
CVN – Brief Presentation - Birth University Funding Institution Quality Agency University II • CVN: Standardize CV to exchange research information among research information systems
CVN – Brief Presentation - Present situation University Funding Institution • PDF with embedded XML • Manual exchange
CVN – Problems (I) – Not updated information NOT updated information Typical scenario (National Plan): One application every three years Ministry of Economy University 2006 2009 2012 … The researcher has to send his data manually
CVN – Problems (I) – Not updated information - Solution Solution: Research Network Instead of manually sending the informartion: the institution ask for that data Ministry of Economy University (updated information)
CVN – Problems (I) – Not updated information – Need University Funding Institution = (158) Local research ID C-54 Local research ID: 157 (158) = (P85) Local publication ID: P-17 (P85) Local publication ID: 1317 Local publication ID: 879 (P87) Local publication ID: P-1389 (P195) • All CV Items must have a unique ID
CVN – Problems (II) - Aggregation Data duplication when aggregating data • Duplication problem when all the CVN are put together • Two researchers have the same publication in their CV • Two researches have the same project in their CV • … = = +
CVN – Problems (II) – Aggregation - Solution Solution: All CV Items must have a unique ID • Duplication problem when all the CVN are put together • Two researchers have the same publication in their CV • Two researches have the same project in their CV • … (451) = (451) (451) = (451) + (63) (63)
CVN - Needs • CVN • Problem: NOT updated information • Solution: Research Network -> All CV Items must have a unique ID • Problem: Data duplication when aggregating data • Solution: All CV Items must have a unique ID
