Focal point
Location
National Academic Research and Collaborations Information System (NARCIS) is the main Dutch national portal for those looking for information about researchers and their work. NARCIS aggregates data from around 30 institutional repositories. Besides researchers, NARCIS is also used by students, journalists and people working in educational and government institutions as well as the business sector.
NARCIS provides access to scientific information, including (open access) publications from the repositories of all the Dutch universities, KNAW, NWO and a number of research institutes, datasets from some data archives as well as descriptions of research projects, researchers and research institutes.
This means that NARCIS cannot be used as an entry point to access complete overviews of publications of researchers (yet). However, there are more institutions that make all their scientific publications accessible via NARCIS. By doing so, it will become possible to create much more complete publication lists of researchers.
In 2004, the development of NARCIS started as a cooperation project of KNAW Research Information, NWO, VSNU and METIS, as part of the development of services within the DARE programme of SURFfoundation. This project resulted in the NARCIS portal, in which the DAREnet service was incorporated in January 2007. NARCIS has been part of DANS since 2011.
DANS - Data Archiving and Networked Services - is the Netherlands Institute for permanent access to digital research resources. DANS encourages researchers to make their digital research data and related outputs Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.

Talent allocation models assume that entrepreneurial talent is selfish and thus allocates into unproductive or even destructive activities if these offer the highest private returns. This paper experimentally analyzes other-regarding preferences of entrepreneurial talent. We find that making a distinction between creative talent and business talent explains systematic differences in other-regarding behavior. Generally, business talent is less willing, and creative talent more willing, to forego private payoffs to avoid losses to others.
In the Land of the Chiefs : customary law, land conflicts, and the role of the state in Peri-Urban Ghana
International policy is currently witnessing a renewed interest in customary tenure systems as well as traditional leadership, through which it aims to enhance the efficiency of local governance and create general access to and secure rights in land. Contrary to these ideas, practice reveals a lack of security of customary tenure in areas with a high competition for land. Mounting evidence displays that customary systems often evolve inequitably and that traditional elites benefit disproportionally from commodification of land.

Leren van de evaluatie reconstructie zandgebieden : methode, proces en politiek-bestuurlijke inbedding
De evaluatie van de reconstructie zandgebieden die in 2007 werd aangeboden aan de Minister van Landbouw, Natuur en Voedselkwaliteit en de Tweede Kamer is een voorbeeld van een lerende evaluatie. Hierbij zijn beoordeling en leren even belangrijk en participeren stakeholders uit de beleidspraktijk nadrukkelijk in het evaluatieproces. In dit rapport wordt teruggeblikt op het onderzoeksproces. Het gaat in op de methodische keuzes en hun achtergrond en de politiek-bestuurlijke inbedding van het onderzoeksproces. Ook worden aanbevelingen gedaan voor vervolgonderzoek.
Tot elkaar veroordeeld? : het belang van gebiedsprocessen voor de natuur
Met het Investeringsbudget landelijk gebied (ILG) raken het natuurbeleid en de vele gebiedsprocessen in Nederland steeds meer met elkaar verstrengeld. De vraag hier is op welke manier gebiedsprocessen bijdragen aan de uitvoering van het natuurbeleid. Daarbij zijn twee provincies doorgelicht: Zuid-Holland en Overijssel, met bijzonder aandacht voor de Krimpenerwaard (ZH) en Loozensche Linie (Ov).
