Researcher identifiers aim to lessen the problems caused by ambiguity in researcher names. For example, common surnames, the changing of names and characters which don’t appear in English are making the evaluation and following of scholarly work more difficult. Identifiers make it much easier to process and administer publication information.
Research Services, Innovation Ecosystem Services and Academic Legal Services support the research staff and Aalto management.
The National Research Information Hub and Research.fi portal offer a single source access to information on science and research in Finland.
