Activities
PRIME EURO CV
PRIME EURO CV is part of the PRIME network of excellence that examines the use of new indicators for science, technology and innovation (ENID). The project is led by Dr. Daphne Getz with the support of project team members Bella Zalmanovich, Tsipy Buchnik, and Yair Even-Zohar. The project constitutes the first collective and coordinated European effort to explore the potential of electronic curricula vitae (CV) data for indicator development and will also be the first PRIME project specifically targeted at assessing researcher mobility. The main objective of this project is to collectively explore the possibilities of using researchers’ CVs in electronic form as an indicator for researcher mobility. For this purpose, several selected CV databases will be analyzed and the CV-based indicators will be used to study researcher mobility patterns and the effects of mobility on researchers’ careers and scientific productivity. This project includes academic institutes and research centers from Spain, Portugal, Norway and Switzerland. The task of the S. Neaman Institute in the Euro CV project is to carry out methodological evaluation of electronic CV databases according to the following criteria: database coverage; database access; data quality; strengths and limitations in using the CV's data.
Preliminary results of this project will be presented at the PRIME ENID conference to be held in Oslo in May 2008.
