Description Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May The DFG's mission statement 2. Needs assessment for standardisation 3. Specific classification systems vs. standardisation 4. An approach to standardisation and a service of the DFG

Description 1. The DFG's mission statement 2. Needs assessment for standardisation 3. Specific classification systems vs. standardisation 4. An approach to standardisation and a service of the DFG Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May 20133

The DFG's mission statement Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May The DFG ► Member-driven organisation (universities, non-university research institutions, scientific organisations) ► serves all branches of science and the humanities ► fosters scientific excellence through competition ► supports international cooperation in research ► advises political and social decision- makers Funding in 2012, by scientific discipline

Description 1. The DFG's mission statement 2. Needs assessment for standardisation 3. Specific classification systems vs. standardisation 4. An approach to standardisation and a service of the DFG Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May 20135

Needs assessment for standardisation Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May In focus: the German Research Foundation (DFG) ► Need for standardisation in ●scientific disciplines ●institutions (universities, research institutions etc.) ●research instrumentation ●countries and regions ●and much more… ► Internal and external demand for standardised data for ●internal management ●research information systems ●raising the profile of universities and research institutions ●evaluation and monitoring ●and much more…

Description 1. DFG in profile 2. Needs assessment for standardisation 3. Specific classification systems vs. standardisation 4. An approach to standardisation and a service of the DFG Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May 20137

Specific classification systems vs. standardisation ► Classification by ●Review Board (48) ●Research Area (14) ●Scientific Discipline (4) Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May The situation at the DFG Example of the DFG's subject classification system ► Review Boards ●Defined by 209 subjects ●Regular changes every 4 years due to review board elections

Specific classification systems vs. standardisation Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May The situation at the DFG ► Classification by ●Review Board (48) ●Research Area (14) ●Scientific Discipline (4) ► In essence, the DFG's subject classification system is an organisationally based classification for the organisation of research proposals. Example of the DFG's subject classification system

Specific classification systems vs. standardisation Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May Other commonly used subject classification systems ●DFG Instrumentation Category Key (scientific instrumentation, equipment, systems and devices) ●Subject classification system of the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (DESTATIS) ●Health Research Classification System (HRCS) ●Federal government's planning system for R&D project funding ●ISCED fields of education and training ●OECD field of science and technology ●and many more…

An approach to standardisation Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May The object of classification Project People Institution Publi- cation ► Ways of classifying an object: 1. Research area of project 2. Research area of people 3. Research area of institution 4. Research area of publications

An approach to standardisation The institution ► Relevant infrastructural unit (with own address) at which research takes place DFG institution database ► More than entries for German institutions ●Full address of institution ●Subject classification of institution (using Federal Statistical Office classification) ●Link to institution's website ●Link to GEPRIS (DFG projects at the institution) ●Link to HRK Higher Education Compass (information on PhDs for the subjects of a faculty / department) ●Overview of subordinate institutions Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May The institution as a classification object

An approach to standardisation Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May Research Explorer: open access to the institution database

An approach to standardisation Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May Research Explorer: open access to the institution database

An approach to standardisation Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May Process for creating a new, institution-based standard  Address  Website  Persons at institution (DFG projects)  DFG-classified projects at institution  DESTATIS classification  … University X Faculty 1 Institution A Institution B University X Faculty 1 Institution A Institution B  Staff statistics  Financial statistics  Publication statistics  Academic discipline  … Data in DFG institution database Data held by university … … … …

An approach to standardisation Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May First application of this principle in medicine ► First application of this principle in the DFG-Förderatlas 2012 ► Main chapter for university medical institutions ► Comparison of funding volumes in relation to personnel levels ► Data sources: ●research funding volumes (DFG) ●staff statistics (Medizinischen Fakultätentag) ► Englisch Edition:

An approach to standardisation Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May First application of this principle in medicine - results Source:

► Aim: Data standards for sharing data (evaluation, monitoring, etc.) ► Common unit: The institution ► Prerequisite: Definition of the unit 'institution' ► Agreement needed on: ●different hierarchies of institutions ●number of institutions ●institution codes ► Current pilot project: University of Münster An approach to standardisation Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May Pilot project with the University of Münster

► The institution-based approach is one approach to the standardisation of subject classification ► Successful implementation of this approach by the DFG for one subject area: medicine ► Pilot project for implementation at a major university: Münster ► If pilot project is successful, approach may be expanded to member universities and other universities Outlook Standardisation of classification / Fischer;Güdler;Hahnen Bonn, 13 May
