This dataset provides the mapping of organizations and funders from the IS VaVaI (the national CRIS in Czechia) to ROR, the international Research Organization Registry.
The IS VaVaI tracks organizations that received funding for research, technology development and innovation from public budgets in Czechia or that have participated in such funded projects. Also the funders of these projects are registered.
This dataset is intended to help put the research information collected in the IS VaVaI into an international context.
It is part of the activities of the Working Group for Research Data Management in the Czech Republic.
2022-06-18: 178 organizations: added most of the organizations from the CEA-prijemce.csv found at the IS VaVaI Open Data site. The file contains beneficiaries of block funding based on the status of Research Organization since 2010. The missing organizations are listed in organizations-wanted.csv.
2022-06-18: add the 38 funders from the IS VaVaI (24 have a ROR id, 12 have a FundRef id)
2022-06-18: update the ROR names in our file with those from API following the ROR 1.1 release
2022-06-03: replace "... of the CAS" with "... of the Czech Academy of Sciences" in the English override names
2022-01-20: 112 organizations:
- All the 26 public universities, one military university and one state university are covered. These are the organizations listed in Annexes 1 and 2 of the Higher Education Act of the Czech Republic.
- All the 54 institutes and support units of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic are covered.
- Some other organizations, mostly those which had reported considerable numbers of research outputs in the IS VaVaI/RIV, are covered.
Organizations — organizations.csv
The data about the research performing organizations, a UTF-8 encoded file in the Comma Separated Values format with the following columns:
- IS_VaVaI_id: The identifier of the organization in IS VaVaI.
- IS_VaVaI_Name_CS: The name of the organization in Czech as recorded in the IS VaVaI.
- ROR_id: The ROR id of the organization.
- ROR_Name: The name of the organization from ROR. Mostly in English.
- Override_Name_EN: An override of the English name if we think the one provided in ROR could be improved.
- Notes: Any notes about the mapping, esp. about a possible uncertainty.
This file is to be kept sorted: util/sort-orgs.sh is the script to sort it.
Funders — funders.csv
The data about the IS VaVaI funders, a UTF-8 encoded file in the Comma Separated Values format with the following columns:
- IS_VaVaI_code: The code of the funder in IS VaVaI.
- IS_VaVaI_Name_CS: The name of the funder in Czech as recorded in the IS VaVaI.
- IS_VaVaI_Name_EN: The name of the funder in English as recorded in the IS VaVaI.
- ROR_id: The ROR id of the organization.
- ROR_Name: The name of the organization from ROR. Mostly in English.
- Override_Name_EN: An override of the English name if we think the one provided in ROR could be improved.
- FundRef_id: The Crossref Fundref ID (use the prefix
https://doi.org/10.13039/to access the Funder Registry record). - Notes: Any notes about the mapping, esp. about a possible uncertainty.
This file is to be kept sorted: util/sort-funders.sh is the script to sort it.
