Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of scientific research management, and proposes a collaborative scientific research activity and management method and system based on scientific researcher identification. Background Art

[0002] Researchers, as the backbone of research institutions, are primarily responsible for both research activities and management. The current digital research environment places new demands on both. Efficiently managing, coordinating, and linking these two aspects within research institutions has become a significant management challenge, crucial for scientific innovation and breakthroughs, as well as for resource integration and sharing.

[0003] Scientific research activities refer to scientific research projects, scientific conferences, scientific experiments and other scientific research-related content carried out by scientific researchers. They include scientific research instruments, scientific data, papers, works, awards, etc. in each link, as well as new scientific research results such as laboratory logs, research reports, courseware, pictures, program algorithms, software products, etc., and mainly focus on the full life cycle management of scientific research by scientific researchers.

[0004] Scientific research management refers to the performance appraisal, professional title evaluation, scientific research integrity, etc. carried out around scientific researchers, and mainly focuses on the management of scientific researchers as employees by their institutions.

[0005] A Researcher Identifier (RI) is a digital identifier used to uniquely identify and distinguish researchers. It is typically used to distinguish different researchers, ensuring their uniqueness and identifiability in research activities and scholarly exchanges. Common RI systems include BRID (Basic Researcher ID), ORCID (OpenResearcher and Contributor ID), ResearcherID, and Scopus Author ID. These identifiers are often used in partnership with global scholarly publishers, research institutions, and database service providers to ensure their widespread global adoption and identifiability.

[0006] The subjects of scientific research activities and scientific research management are both researchers, and there is a business connection between the two. For example, the title evaluation of researchers in scientific research management requires the scientific research results of the researchers. Figure 1 As shown, the management of the two is basically independent of each other. Even if it is only for the management of scientific research activities, it is impossible to achieve full life cycle linkage. The main problems are as follows:

[0007] 1. Regarding the full life cycle management of scientific research activities, although there are researcher identifiers such as ORCID, Scopus Author ID, and ResearcherID to summarize and associate scientific research activities, these researcher identifiers mainly associate researchers with research results such as papers and monographs. New types of scientific research results such as pictures, audio and video, laboratory logs, research reports, courseware, program algorithms, software products, etc. are not associated, and therefore cannot cover the full life cycle of researchers' scientific research activities.

[0008] 2. Data silos still exist in all aspects of scientific research activities and management within scientific research institutions. Different information systems use different researcher IDs, and data interaction based on researcher IDs cannot be carried out well.

[0009] 3. Scientific research activities or scientific research management within scientific research institutions lack channels to connect with external data. For example, scientific research projects and scientific research results management within scientific research institutions are basically entered manually.

[0010] 4. Research activities or management within research institutions lack a connection to external researcher identifiers. For example, researchers may already have research findings on research homepages such as BRID and ORCID, but these cannot be directly imported into the institution's internal systems, requiring researchers to manually enter these findings. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The present invention aims to provide a collaborative scientific research activity and management method and system based on scientific researcher identification, to solve the current problems of multiple data islands, incomplete chains, and heavy burden of manual data entry in various links of scientific research activities and scientific research management, so as to enable scientific research institutions to collaborate in scientific research activities and management more efficiently.

[0047] Figure 1 Block diagram of scientific research activities and management system of existing technical solutions.

[0048] Figure 2 Block diagram of the scientific research activity and management system of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The examples given are only for illustrating the present invention, not for limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0050] In order to enable scientific research institutions to coordinate scientific research activities and management more efficiently, it is necessary to take scientific researchers as the main body, set up a data exchange channel based on scientific researcher identification, open up the scientific research activities and management links within the institution, and at the same time, communicate with scientific research activities outside the institution based on this channel. If the digital channel based on scientific researchers is identified by "institution name + personnel name", there will be problems with inaccurate data; there will be security problems and it will not be possible to communicate with international data if the personnel ID number is used for communication. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a digital identification based on scientific researchers, coordinate scientific research activities and scientific research management through this digital identification, and interact with external systems through this identification. Therefore, the present invention discloses a collaborative scientific research activity and management method based on scientific researcher identification, which assigns a unique main identification to each scientific researcher of a scientific research institution by creating a "scientific researcher identification device". Based on this main identification, scientific research institutions can manage the entire life cycle of scientific research activities and coordinate with scientific research management. At the same time, in order to interact with other scientific researcher identification devices and external scientific research activity source devices, the device sets multiple associated identifications.

[0051] The overall system architecture of the present invention is as follows Figure 2 As shown, it includes multiple components such as scientific research institutions, a collection of external scientific research activity source devices, scientific research personnel identification devices, and a collection of scientific research personnel related identification devices.

[0052] Scientific research institution: The main unit that includes scientific research activities and scientific research management of scientific researchers, mainly including a collection of scientific research activity equipment and a collection of scientific research management equipment.

[0053] External scientific research activity source device collection: mainly includes scientific research activity device collection, such as publishing platforms, repository platforms, etc., mainly involving the acquisition of scientific research activity data based on researchers within the scope of authority, such as scientific research papers.

[0054] Researcher identification device: A device that uniquely identifies a researcher and can eliminate spelling ambiguity and duplicate names in scientific research activities, especially in research papers and fund projects. This device contains a primary identifier, multiple associated identifiers, and research activity data such as the researcher's research achievements. The primary identifier is mainly used to associate the research activities of scientific research institutions throughout their entire life cycle, and to coordinate research activities with research management; the associated identifier is the ID in the set of researcher associated identification devices; the primary identifier and associated identifier can be used to interact with other devices outside the device, and input or output research activity data such as the research achievements of the researchers on the device.

[0055] A collection of researcher-associated identification devices: Other researcher identification devices that have a certain degree of influence in the research field and are widely used internationally, such as BRID, ORCID, Scopus ID, and Researcher ID. These are the sources of associated identifiers in researcher identification devices, and can be used to associate data related to research results and other research activities.

[0056] The specific steps of collaborative research activities and management methods based on researcher identification are as follows:

[0057] 1. Initialization of researcher identification:

[0058] (1) Primary identification initialization. The primary identification can be assigned independently using a set of coding rules, or an identification can be selected from the associated identification device as the primary identification. There is only one primary identification. If the primary identification is assigned independently, it can be registered in batches by scientific research institutions or by scientific researchers. If it is obtained from the associated identification device, it can be claimed by scientific researchers after acquisition. After initialization is completed, all scientific researchers in the scientific research institution have a primary identification, and a new primary identification is generated when a new person is added.

[0059] (2) Initialization of association identification. Association identification can be done by obtaining data from the association identification device and then having the researcher claim it or by directly filling it out by the researcher. After initialization is completed, all researchers in the research institution may have one or more association identifications, and the association identifications are updated and supplemented regularly.

[0060] (3) Initialization of scientific research activity data such as scientific research results of scientific researchers. The data is obtained from scientific research institutions, external scientific research activity source devices, and scientific researcher related identification devices, imported, or filled in by scientific researchers. Each scientific researcher has a corresponding set of data.

[0061] (4) Initialization of the data channel for scientific researcher identification. Establish a data channel based on the main identification or associated identification between the scientific researcher identification device and the scientific research institution, the external scientific research activity source device set, and the scientific researcher associated identification device. Within the scope of authority, data exchange, data acquisition, and data push can be carried out through this channel.

[0062] 2. Research institutions use the primary identifier as the unique digital identity of researchers

[0063] (1) The entire life cycle of scientific research activities is associated based on the main identifier. All scientific research activity devices of scientific research institutions use the main identifier of the researcher as the unique digital identity of the researcher. All scientific research activities of the researcher are associated with this identifier, ensuring that all scientific research activity devices at all stages can be associated with the main identifier.

[0064] At the same time, the main identification can be used to obtain the scientific research results and other scientific research activity data of the person from the scientific researcher identification device.

[0065] (2) Full-chain management of scientific researchers based on the master identifier. All scientific research management devices of scientific research institutions use the scientific researcher master identifier as the unique digital identity of the scientific researcher. Through this identifier, a full-chain management mechanism for scientific research management is established to ensure that all scientific research management devices can be associated through the master identifier.

[0066] 3. Obtain research activity data from external research activity source devices based on primary or associated identifiers. Based on the researcher identification data channel, the researcher identification device can obtain accurate research activity data for each researcher, thereby updating the corresponding researcher's research results and other research activity data in the device.

[0067] 4. Scientific research institutions coordinate scientific research activities and management based on the main identification: Based on the researcher identification data channel, the scientific research management device can obtain accurate data of all scientific research activity devices within the authority of each researcher, making scientific research management more convenient and efficient.

[0068] Next, the collaborative scientific research activities and management methods based on scientific researcher identification provided by the present invention are explained using the specific implementation scenario of professional title evaluation.

[0069] In scientific research management, when researchers at research institutions undergo professional title evaluation, the professional title evaluation device must possess all of the researcher's research achievements, including papers, patents, software copyrights, projects, awards, etc. These achievements are often scattered across various research activity devices, both within and outside the research institution. Therefore, most current methods rely on researchers entering these achievements themselves. With this solution, researchers no longer need to fill in these records themselves; they can directly access their research activities based on their researcher ID.

[0070] After scientific research institutions use researcher identification to coordinate scientific research activities and management, taking the title evaluation of researcher A as an example, the specific steps are as follows:

[0071] (1) Researcher A confirms that his / her primary ID in the researcher identification device is correct and includes all associated IDs, such as BRID, ORCID, etc.

[0072] (2) The scientific research activity device of the institution where the scientific researcher is located pushes the scientific research results and other scientific research activity data of the scientific researcher A to the scientific researcher identification device in real time based on the main identification, and can also obtain the reverse data regularly.

[0073] (3) The scientific researcher identification device regularly obtains scientific research activity data such as scientific researcher A's scientific research results from each associated identification device based on the associated identification.

[0074] (4) The scientific researcher identification device regularly obtains scientific research activity data such as the scientific researcher A's scientific research results from various external scientific research activity source devices based on the associated identification;

[0075] (5) The above (2), (3), and (4) information about researcher A can also be exported from other devices and then imported into the researcher identification device, or directly filled in. This ensures that the research activity data of researcher A in the researcher identification device is relatively comprehensive and up-to-date.

[0076] (6) The professional title evaluation device of scientific research management regularly obtains the scientific research results and other scientific research activity data of researcher A from the scientific research personnel identification device.

[0077] (7) When evaluating his professional title, researcher A does not need to enter data manually, but can directly confirm and submit the research results and other research activity data obtained from the researcher identification device.

[0078] The above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical concepts and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand and implement the present invention. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit of the present invention are intended to be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
