National Researcher's Profile Tool launched

The Researcher's Profile Tool is meant for all experts working in research. The Researcher's Profile Tool gives you a view of what kind of information about you and your research activities are stored in different databases and combine existing data to a national profile that remains under your control regardless of workplace and affiliation.

Research.fi helps media, companies, publishers, financiers, law makers, decision makers and other interested in research and its results find experts in one place.

The version released after the beta version has been developed as follows:

• User interface functionality has been improved (e.g. hiding and republishing the profile)
• Data transfer from ORCID has been expanded (e.g. activities, research data and research projects)
• Updating the profile data has been developed (data changes from all sources are updated automatically, new data is not automatically published without consent)

Researchers can create a profile in Research.fi by logging in with ORCID and identifying through Suomi.fi. For the profile, they can choose information from ORCID, their home organizations and Research.fi portal, which contains information e.g. on publications and research data. Researchers can decide on their own which information to publish and to which parties the information may be disclosed in the future.
