KTH Library & ITA

2024-02-14

Agenda

  • Status update for the DAUF project - “Datadriven Analys och Uppföljning av KTHs Forskning”
  • ABM 2023 - new Annual Bibliometric Monitoring snapshot
  • New features in KTH Research Information app
  • Progress in data curation including improved import procedures for publications
  • Future directions
  • Your questions and feedback

About the DAUF project

  • Creating services and tools for presentation of research information data, improved data flows and connecting data sources within KTH.
  • Agile model with 2 week sprints.
  • Collaboration between KTH Library, RSO and ITA.
  • New research portfolio management structure is taking shape, which the DAUF project is part of
  • Several initiatives at KTH to track visions and goals using indicators, where the project can contribute

Status and progress update

Progress overview - since last demo

  • New ABM 2023 with longer timelines and annual indicators
  • New features in KTH Research Information app
  • New KTH graphical style (across all apps and reports)
  • New KTH-styled quarto extension with templates
  • New DAUF landing page at https://bibliometrics.lib.kth.se
  • Sunsetting of staff-based variant of ABM (replaced by Research Information app)
  • Data flow integrations and new S3 data buckets established for data exchange (Research Data / dmponline and Learning Analytics)

The big picture in ABM 2023

  • Relatively stable citation indicators for KTH as a whole (at article and journal level)
  • Slightly decreasing publications volume
  • International co-publication stable (not clearly increasing)
  • Open Access levelling off, and variable between schools and departments
  • Quite large variability between departments

Discussions on how to improve project data

KTH Research Information

Copublication within KTH related to Fibre- and Polymer Technology, when publishing with organizations from Germany

Data curation

MORE. FASTER. BETTER. CHEAPER.

Publication data in DiVA and other sources

KTH Library is serious about data quality. We now use more automated quality checks with fewer manual quality checks required.

  • Improved imports for publication metadata, where MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema) is generated and ingested into DiVA using an automated process
  • Improved update frequency and data quality
    • Faster and more frequent imports from Scopus
    • Better affiliations (from Scopus, enriched with internal KTH researcher identifiers etc)

Faster automated imports

Reduction in manual curation time

Time savings

  • More than 50% time savings in recent years

Labour savings

  • Automated record entry -> reduced workload for the researcher

Better quality

  • Automated continuous quality checks and smoother workflows
  • Cross-checking against more sources and using enrichment (ORCiD, affiliations)

Registrations by role

Share of registrations made by researchers

Other data infrastructure efforts

  • Efforts towards integrating data about organisational structure from HR, DiVA and “UG”.
  • Better ORCiD linkage through more automated quality checks

ORCiD crosschecks

Object Storage / S3

Infrastructure upgrade with server migration finished, upgraded software stack with automatic certificates, updated monitoring endpoints. Includes software upgrade for object storage (S3 / minio) at <https://data.bibliometrics.lib.kth.se> which improves on user management, provides SFTP support and more.

Should we publish more “open data” (without Personally Identifiable Information) to support general use elsewhere at KTH?

Tooling and libraries

A number of new libraries have been developed and existing libraries are continuously maintained:

Discussion, Questions, Feedback

Future work and directions

Looking more broadly, DAUF could evolve in several different directions:

  • Centre and/or research project overview, also spanning outside of KTH
  • Other source for project data (SweCris, Cordis ++)
  • Support for recruitment processes (e.g. applicant evaluation)
  • KTH organisational overview - linking data from different domains within KTH
  • Other dashboards for KTH leadership, research quality processes etc.
  • Including broader forms of “impact” in analyses and evaluations (open science, community engagement etc)
  • Enhancing researcher profile pages (research overview, collaboration network)

Which ones do you think are most interesting for KTH, at this moment?
