Cristin is the joint research documentation system in Norway and replaces from 2011 Forskdok. The system consists of research results, researcher profiles, projects and research units.

The system is used in the higher education sector, research institutes and the regional health authorities.

Cristin is used for documenting the R&D activities of institutions as well as of individual researchers.

More about Cristin.

Publications that meet certain criteria are credited with publication points. Publication points are included in the funding basis for GUC. There are two criteria that must be completed for the publication allocates publication points: first of all publication must meet the requirements of academic publication. Secondly, the publication must be published in a recognized scientific publishing channel.

We wish to register all research activity, including publications that are not rewarded with publication points. This way, we highlight what GUCs researchers produce and publish, and give them an opportunity to market their results.
