PortAberta - Research Portal for Open Science

Abstract

This work aims to present the PortAberta project - Research Portal for Open Science - which has as promoters the University of Minho (UMinho) and the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB). The initiative arises with the purpose of meeting a shared need to establish a CRIS system and Research Portal, as tools to support and strengthen the affirmation in research and innovation, based on open software systems, under the principles of Open Science and aligned with national initiatives, ensuring sustainability to the operation and its relevance as a good practice at national and European level.

The "Research Portal for Open Science" under development in the framework of the PortAberta modernization operation emerged with the purpose of providing "Research Portals" that facilitate access, consultation and use of research information in UMinho and IPB, both internally by its members and organs, and externally, promoting visibility, impact of activity and R&D results. These Research Portals of UMinho and IPB will be made operational through the implementation of VIVO software.
