Sweden ScienceNet

A national system for managing research information

Sweden ScienceNet is a joint initiative by eight Swedish universities: Chalmers, Karolinska Institutet, Linköping University, Lund University, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm University, Swedish University of Agricultural Science and Uppsala University.

Objective

The overall objective is by using existing information sources built a national platform for managing of research information.
In this fase of the project (2008-2010) the goal is to establish a system for proposals from the research councils. By improving quality and structure the date Sweden ScienceNet will offer a tool for analysing the research output from an individual researcher, university, region or the whole country. Sweden ScienceNet will be a tool for comparison and ranking of information. Since Sweden ScienceNet is built on existing data and reporting sources it will not cause any additional effort for the individual researcher. In the future Sweden ScienceNet will be expanded with additional information sources such as publication data, patent data etc.

Financing

The main financier is Vinnova.
