2 About AuthenFcus

3 AuthenFcus what is it? A repository of scien.fic publica.ons authored by researchers associated with Portuguese ins.tu.ons validated by the researchers An aggregator of publica.ons from mul.ple sources ISI WoK, Scopus, ORCID, DBLP An empowerment tool for researchers and ins.tu.ons Researchers and ins.tu.ons should be able to claim, confirm and complete their list of publica.ons Provide indicators that may be useful for guiding one s publica.on strategy, or to influence an ins.tu.on s planning Promote transparency within and across areas and ins.tu.ons

4 AuthenFcus - what for? Avoid manually inser.on of publica.ons by researchers Produce more reliable bibliometric indicators on individuals to assist peer- reviewing more trustable metadata and indicators individual research assessments, e.g. promo.on contests propagate data to ins.tu.ons Also, more reliable bibliometric indicators for Ins.tu.ons Assist internal assessments of faculty performance Indicators for management purposes FCT researchers and RUs performance assessment

5 AuthenFcus mulfple facets Validate publica.ons Researcher Add new publica.ons Print/Export InsFtuFon Interfaces FCT / DGEEC Custom groups Common AcFons Researcher Centered Admin Ins.tu.on or Unit Centered

Task Manager to schedule the execu.on and priority of opera.ons that must be performed regularly.

14 Federated AuthenFcus

15 Accessing AuthenFcus Access is granted to all individuals registered at a Portuguese ins.tu.on through Federated Access. Authen.cus was announced in November to Urgent AcFon: iden.ty providers at each ins.tu.on need to recognize Authen.cus Public Access: limited metadata of publica.ons (similar to ORCID) links are provided directly to Scopus or ISI for indexed publica.ons

19 Future Work (1) Evolving towards a Na.onal Database of Scien.fic Publica.ons? Terms yet to be agreed with FCT/FCCN and DGEEC Bibliometrics centered on Researchers and Ins.tu.ons Normalized indicators for EU- 27 or the World Mul.ple indicators to allow customized reports Interfaces for Ins.tu.ons and for FCT / DGEEG Detail which reports are required by FCT, DGEEC, Ins.tu.ons Allow configura.on of groups of researchers or ins.tu.ons Compara.ve reports based on defined groups Dynamic update of researchers, research- units (FCT) and lecturers registered within REBIDES (DGEEC)

20 Future Work (2) Interoperability with other systems Support standards on data representa.on Improve customized web- services for authorized ins.tu.ons Upload publica.ons into ORCID Interoperate with RCAAP and DeGóis Improve exis.ng Authen.cus features Improve export and print capabili.es Allow researchers to add publica.ons not indexed Support popular databases in some areas: MathSciNet, Ecolit, Users Helpdesk / Technical Support Promo.ng use of Authen.cus at ins.tu.ons
