Identification of Co-Authors
The Co-Author framework is a new tool integrated into the program. PTCRIS, Developed to support and optimize the identification of co-authors for scientific collaborations, this innovative technological solution facilitates the discovery of researchers and fosters new research partnerships, promoting more collaborative and interconnected science.
Main objectives
Identify potential co-authors based on user-defined search criteria.
Supporting external systems in recommending scientific collaborators.
Obtain normalized metadata from authors, such as institutional affiliations and persistent identifiers.
The framework integrates an advanced search engine that queries reference platforms such as:
CIÊNCIAVITAE
Integration with the CIÊNCIAVITAE platform for research and identification of researchers, allowing the retrieval of validated information with persistent identifiers, promoting greater reliability and interoperability of the data.
ORCID
Direct linking to the Open Researcher and Contributor ID ( ORCID ) for author discovery and reuse of persistent international identifiers, facilitating the unambiguous identification of researchers and strengthening interoperability between scientific information systems.
Through specialized algorithms and the reuse of data from these platforms, the service simplifies the process of discovering relevant researchers, ensuring greater accuracy and interoperability.
Improved interoperability between research systems.
Strengthening the ecosystem PTCRIS as a national infrastructure for scientific information
Search
Author search using multiple criteria
Metadata
Association of investigator identifiers
Error reduction
It reduces the need for manual data entry, decreasing the likelihood of errors.
