Research.fi and Researcher's Profile Tool

The National Research Information Hub and Research.fi portal increase the visibility and societal impact of Finnish research by offering a single source access to information on science and research in Finland. With the Researcher's Profile Tool, the researcher can create a profile on the Research.fi portal and choose what information they want to be shown on the portal.

The National Research Information Hub, maintained by CSC – IT Center for Science,collects metadata on, for example, publications, research data, research infrastructures, and projects. The national portal Research.fi makes the information visible and open to the public. Research.fi also includes science and research news and funding calls.

Researcher’s Profile Tool

With the Researcher's Profile Tool, researchers can compile a public profile in the Research.fi-service from information in their ORCID profile and home organisation(s). In the tool, you can preview the information before it is published and select only the information that you want to include in your profile. The tool is available in Finnish, Swedish and English. To use the tool, you will need

an ORCID identifier
strong identification through Suomi.fi

All data in the researcher’s profile is retrieved automatically from other sources. These sources include ORCID, Aalto current research information system, ACRIS (e.g. education, affiliation, merits), or other research information sources included in Research.fi (e.g. publications, research data, projects). Any mistakes in the information can only be edited in the source systems, not within the tool itself.

The researcher will be able to show their whole expertise and affiliations on their profile regardless of organisational boundaries. This ensures that the skills of the researchers and their contact details are up to date and easily accessible to decision-makers, research funders, research organisations, media, and companies looking for experts.

If you have questions about the service or ORCID, please contact the Open Science and ACRIS team at [email protected] for more information.

International ORCID identifier (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) offers researchers a persistent and unique digital identifier. It is a series of numbers that differentiates researchers. Read more: https://orcid.org/.
