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.

State marionettes, phantom organisations or genuine movements?: The paradoxical emergence of rural social movements in post-socialist Russia

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2013
Russia

Of all the rural social movements in the world, those in post-socialist Russia have been considered to be among the weakest. Nevertheless, triggered by the neo-liberal reforms in the countryside, state attention to agriculture and rising land conflicts, new social movement organisations with a strong political orientation are emerging in Russia today. This sudden burst of civil activity, however, raises questions as to how genuine and independent the emerging organisations are.

Landscape ecology and rural roads: Traffic calming for improving both landscape and wildlife?

Journal Articles & Books
december, 2013

The concept of traffic calming has successfully improved road safety. This concept applied in rural areas has provided new insights in the mitigation of negative effects of roads and traffic. Earlier studies have shown that the concept, distinguishing between local access roads and rural arterial highways, also can improve landscape connectivity for wildlife. Physical speed reducing devices are frequently used in the context of traffic calming, but applying these devices may negatively impact the coherence and identity of the landscape.

Forestry in MAGNET : a new approach for land use and forestry modelling

Reports & Research
december, 2013

This report discusses improvements of MAGNET in order to improve the analysis of land use change and forestry dynamics. In the standard approach only a difference is made between agricultural land, non-used land that can be potentially used for agriculture, and land that never can be used for agriculture. In the new approach different other land cover types like built - up area and forestry are distinguished.

Proeftuin Food Valley : de kwaliteit van de leefomgeving

Reports & Research
december, 2013

Het agrarische gebruik heeft gevolgen voor de kwaliteit van de leefomgeving. Schaalvergroting is ook voor veel agrarische bedrijven in FoodValley een toekomststrategie. Een ander deel van de bedrijven is relatief klein, een aanzienlijk deel daarvan heeft geen opvolger. Functieverandering van agrarische bedrijven neemt een hoge vlucht en verandert het aanzien van het landschap. Bovendien ontstaan nieuwe en soms ongewenste soorten van bedrijvigheid in vrijkomende agrarische gebouwen en boerderijen. Ondanks het overwegend intensieve agrarisch gebruik, kent de Vallei ook veel "trage gebieden".
