Cristin

Cristin (Current Research Information System in Norway) aims to increase the social value of research by making it possible for research from several sectors to be viewed in the same context, with three long-term goals in mind:

To give Norwegian researchers access to relevant information as a basis for their work
To render Norwegian research visible, both nationally and internationally
To streamline the everyday work of researchers and research institutions – more research, less administration
