Bergen Campus Biomedical Research Cooperation Analysis using a CERIF-CRIS

In this study we have analysed research cooperation between a Norwegian university and its affiliated university hospital using contextual metadata based on the CERIF (Common European Research Information Format) model on co-authored publications. The purpose is to analyse the extent and nature of cooperation between the institutions. The study functions as an example of how advanced metadata may be used for monitoring the research activity at institutions, their research output and cooperation links. Such information is important for research management purposes and we will show how the results have been applied in such contexts.
