VIRAK is a bi-annual conference for libraries at Universities and University Colleges in Norway. This year’s conference theme is “The physical and the digital library in development”.
The library is developing on all fronts and the future campus is the arena of possibilities. What possibilities are there and how will we meet those challenges? How will artificial intelligence – and other digital developments – shape the future library, the library’s services, and its employees? What will happen to the physical library in the digital era? How far have we reached on the way towards open science?
Digital Science is delighted to be supporting this year’s event as a Gold Sponsor, and will be presenting the following talk as part of the programme.
Title: Data, Connections & Impact – Using Dimensions for end-to-end powerful AI research discovery and analysis
Abstract: A university’s research is not just its academic papers. Patents, clinical trials, datasets and grant data show the full output of a university, including previously unknown or underappreciated research activity and impact. Using data from research activities in Norway, we will show the true research lifecycle which goes completely unreported if one only focuses on research articles and traditional bibliometrics. Our aim is to show Norwegian institutions how they can use Dimensions, the world’s largest linked research information dataset, to perform large scale analysis in a single data infrastructure collecting and aligning the best data available.
