National Bibliographic Database for Sustainable Research Evaluation

Slide Note

Setting up a national bibliographic database in Whateverland for research evaluation purposes, open to all users for information discovery. The database aims to support transparency and sustainability in research activities funded by the ministry for promoting national identity. Collaboration with stakeholders including the academic community, government, and funding agencies is essential for successful implementation. Roles and responsibilities in maintaining the database are specified, with technical maintenance by the National Library and data input from academic libraries. Embedding the database in a national legal framework ensures accurate and up-to-date data for research evaluation regulation.
