Overview – Main tasks
Owned by the Ministry of Education and Research in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and Care Services
CRIStin-system

Open Access
• Coordinate and promote Open Access development in Norway
• National point of reference for implementation of EU commission recommendations on Open Access

The CRIS in Cristin
CRIStin-system
Open AccessLicence Agreements
• Collect and make information on Norwegian research openly available
• Primary target groups: Research institutions and researchers
• Services to the authorities:• Data for performance based funding system• Facts to support political decisions

Modules of the CRIS system
• Researcher catalogue• Research results
(publications etc)• Project catalogue• Research units• Research
infrastructure (planned)• Reporting
• New version of the system under development

Benefits from establishing the organisation
• One national centre – Everyone knows who to contact
• A national centre of knowledge• One place (and system) to talk to (and one
system to integrate with) => now doing things that were unthinkable with 160 institutions
![Page 9: National work in Norway on research information](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020111/568163b3550346895dd4cecc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Benefits from the national CRIS
• Efficiency - each entity registered only once• Efficiency – several local systems discontinued• Increased data quality• Reuse of data for the researchers• Overview for each institution• Overview across institutions and research
sectors• Access at all administrative levels = reduced
work load for reporting

The decision and implementation process

Background
• Universities wanted overview of their own research • Authorities needed data for performance based funding system• Open Access new area of political importance
![Page 12: National work in Norway on research information](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020111/568163b3550346895dd4cecc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
«Climate for research» (White paper no 30, 2008-2009)
Four general goals:• High quality research• An effective research system • Internationalisation of Norwegian research activity• Efficiency in use of research resources and results
Confirmed and strengthened in new white paper in March 2013
![Page 13: National work in Norway on research information](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020111/568163b3550346895dd4cecc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Decision in 2009 to make a national CRIS
• Work group under the Ministry of education and researchfeb-sep 2008
• Recommended a national database on scholarly publications (Norsk Vitenskapsindeks)
• Basis for performance based funding• Also cover other research activities• Cover higher education institutions,
hospitals and research institutes• Recommendation followed by
ministry decision in 2009
![Page 14: National work in Norway on research information](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020111/568163b3550346895dd4cecc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Build a common CRIS for 150+ institutions • Alternatives:
• Frida – An institutional CRIS developed for the four main Norwegian universities
• ForskDok - An institutional CRIS developed for the Norwegian university colleges (~ 40)
• Decision not to buy commercially• New CRIS based on Frida
• Covered major part of HE sector research• More structured database
• Specifications February 2010• In production December 1st 2010
From decision to reality

A true national CRIS 1.4.2012
1.1.201112 inst
1.4.2011~50 inst
1.4.2012~160 inst
• Universities & university colleges• Specialised health care• Research institutes

Why did it succeed?
• Firm decision and strong support from authorities• Performance based funding = Strong incentive for
registering data!• Focus from authorities on benefits for researchers
and institutions • Focus on re-use of data• Tradititon for cooperation between HE institutions• Virtual private databases with local control of data• Norwegian social security number = unique id of
researchers (… but also challenges)• Small population • A couple of knights in shining armours• Lots of hard work!!!
