Hunting for the authors – creators of innovation and heart of team science

Every database with authors has an authorID.To issue cross-database authorID’s one need an institution.

The Dutch situation – many playersMetis is very detailed, fed by admin (universities, KNAW)but has a limited on-line interface.
CWTS is the ‘Scientific Observatory’ in NL forResearch Evaluation; but the databases are not public.
NARCIS is the main national portal for those looking for information about researchers and their work. OUR CASE
