New version of SICRIS, V3.3.2, installed

In the new SICRIS version, members of programme/project groups are entered as members of a certain participating research organization. Consequently, a member can be entered within one or more participating research organizations, which is considered also when changing membership in programme/project groups.
 

18.10.2024

Changes in programme/project groups in SICRIS can be now edited also by persons in a research organisation who have the right of SICRIS Records Editors in Digital Forms. 

17.10.2024

In the COBISS.SI system, the data on journals' impact factors for 2023 was added to the JCR (Journal Citation Reports) database (Impact factor (1994–2023)).

In COBISS.SI, the structure of both databases is updated.

From 2022 onwards, the data on journals from the A&HCI in ESCI databases is shown. From 2023 onwards, the journals from the A&HCI in ESCI databases (ranked in categories covered by the SCIE and SSCI databases) are now ranked and categorised into quartieles. These changes will be shown when evaluating research performance if changes in the JCR database will be followed by changes of bibliographic performance indicators according to the ARIS methodology and changes of the criteria for the election to titles.
