- 13. SummaryThe main problem are not the visuals but the data! In reports about FP’s and other funding streams on the European level, we find a lot of project baseline statistics. But those are on different aggregation levels. This is why we need access to data directly and more explorations of the open data already available. (see http://ec.europa.eu/research/evaluations/pdf/archive/fp7_monitoring_reports/7th_fp7_monitoring_report.pdf#view=fit&pagemode=none as an example of a decent Bread-and-butter project analytics; see https://open-data.europa.eu/en/apps for open data and applications build on them) There are different portals into RI on European level, but they all monitor specific aspects (e.g. openaire.eu) and often come without visuals overviews. An observatory of European funding would need to start from there. Analytics (statistical, visual) is always question driven. Many projects have been funded to look into specific calls/programme and evaluate them, partly also also using inf vis. The problem is not a tailored approach to evaluation but that there is no overview of those studies. We need in an observatory two layers: - Baseline information on projects and –Information which of those projects figured in which evaluative study. Otherwise, there is a big risk of repetition.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Science maps are nowadays an almost standard tool when it comes to quantitative studies of science
- In flow monitoring – punctual monitoring – use cases – well developed – bibliometric specialists Project oriented monitoring – ideally each project funded would use maps to display the literature it bases on, to encourage communication in interdisciplinary projects, we are far away from this Creating macroscopes – overview maps – and this is even more rare event – for the WoS/Scopus maps of science exist – for other information spaces they have been created as explorations -> Atlas Katy In the following, I take a current project we are engaged in, to demonstrate how visuals can be used, but actually it is all about data!
- Large literature review about the different definitions of impact, and impact studies for SSH Questionnaire as classical social science method: Impact Online questionnaire: Response -> Telephone interviews 1220 telephone contacts, and about 72 in-depth interviews Analysis of final project reports by close reading -> SESAM database Baseline statistics : mixture of bibliometrics, webometrics, baseline statistics
- One very interesting outcome so far is a webinterface to submit your project and gain visibility with achieved impact ORCID as platform to further promote ImpactEV results and aspirations
- One of the problems: object of analysis, partly also moving target how many projects: FP6-FP7 SSH, 272 or 222 depending on which calls are included When HERA, Norface, ERC and other funding streams are added we end with 439 For 134 from FP7 a bibliometric analysis for researchers was conducted It is not so that information is not collected by the EC, it is collected at too many places, some times under restrictions, and different data sharing practices can be a real problem! Luckily, there is also an ‘underground’ open data movement at work
- It is not so that information is not collected by the EC, it is collected at too many places, some times under restrictions, and different data sharing practices can be a real problem! Luckily, there is also an ‘underground’ open data movement at work From the first two sources we downloaded data, cleaned them and created a database From the open data we already get quite some information: budgets, duration, participating countries/institutions
- These graphs show some of the distributions one can extract from the database, they not surprising, this kind of baseline statistics is often shown in quantitative explorations of projects.
- came with a list of 238 URLs for 218 of 222 projects. The same holds for the webometric analysis.
- Explorations using SCI2tool, the increase in budget per project in the last years is interesting.
- came with a list of 238 URLs for 218 of 222 projects.
- So with a platform as Openaire, we are almost there.
