Agenda
• About SURF
• Grey Literature
• Social Relevance of Research
• ERiC, Evaluation Research in Context
• ERiC and CRIS
SURF
• SURF is the Netherlands higher education and research partnership organisation for network services and information and communications technology (ICT).
• The Mission of SURF is to exploit and improve a common advanced ICT infrastructure that will enable higher education institutions to better realize their own ambitions and improve the quality of learning, teaching and research.
Higher Education in the Netherlands
• Netherlands: 16½ million Inhabitants
• 500.000 students, 18-25 years old
• 13 Universities + 1 Open University
• 40 Universities for applied sciences
• 5 large public/private Research Institutes- National Library (KB), Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts
and Sciences (KNAW), Netherlands Organisation for
Scientific Research (NWO), Knowledge for Business (TNO),
and the Police Academy
• All participate in SURF voluntarily- as a paying member
- represented in SURF Board

Knowledge Exchange
• The Knowledge Exchange partners - Denmark’s Electronic Research Library (DEFF) in Denmark
- German Research Foundation (DFG) in Germany
- Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) in the UK
- SURF Foundation in the Netherlands
- http://knowledge-exchange.info
• Vision: to make a layer of scholarly and scientific content openly available on the Internet.
Knowledge Exchange
• CRIS-OAR Interoperability project - Metadata exchange format for publication information with an
associated common vocabulary
- Co-ordination Mikael Elbæk /Mogens Sandfaer
• PersID project (www.persid.org)- To guarantee persistent identification, persistent location and
persistent access to electronic scholarly and cultural heritage
resources
- Governance Roadmap
- Infrastructure of Uniform Resource Name (URN) based
Persistent Identifiers
- Coordination Bas Cordewener (SURF Foundation)
The Netherlands
• Problem- High ranking of universities and research groups, but a lack
of innovation in important industrial activities and the public
sector
• Solutions- Reinforcement of the link between education and
knowledge institutions, businesses and civil organisations
- Open Access to output of public funded research in NL
- National Licence for Scientific Journals
- Valorisation of research output …….> Grey Literature??
Grey Literature
• Definition- Papers, reports, technical notes or other documents
produced and published by governmental agencies,
academic institutions and other groups that are not
distributed or indexed by commercial publishers.
• Problem- Many of these documents are difficult to locate and obtain.
• Solution- Depositing the documents in an Open Access repository
- Recording as research output in a CRIS
- Evalutation: credits for the researchers for Grey Literature
of high quality
Evaluation of Research
• Standard Evaluation Protocol (SEP) for assessment of research- Common guidelines for the evaluation and improvement of
research and research policy, based on expert assessments.
• Objectives of SEP 2009-2015- Improvement of research quality based on an external peer
review, including scientific and societal relevance of
research, research policy and research management.
- Accountability to the board of the research organisation,
and towards funding agencies, government and society at
large.
Evaluation of Research
• New: strong emphasis on Social, cultural and economic relevance:- Societal Quality
- Societal Impact
- Valorisation (re-use)
• Grey Literature - Essential part of research output
- High societal impact
- Opportunity for valorisation of research output
Evaluating social quality and valorisation
• ERiC protocol, Evaluating Research in Context- Stage 1: mission and compilation of self image
- Stage 2: profile of the research group (quantitative)
- Stage 3: stakeholder analysis (qualitative by interviews)
- Stage 4: feedback and reflection (strategic discussion)
√ Quantitative performance compared with
qualitative assessment of users
√ Empirical results compared with mission
Evaluating social quality and valorisation
• ERiC protocol, Evaluating Research in Context
• SIAMPI- International, interdisciplinary consortium of knowledge
institutions supported by the European Commission that
aims to develop methods to assess the social impact of
research and research funding instruments.
• SIGLE OpenSIGLE OpenGrey
Evaluating social quality and valorisation of research output
• ERiC in the Netherlands
• SIAMPI in FP7
• How could a CERIF compliant CRIS support the evaluation of Social impact of research?
