The new institutional BORIS Portal research data and project repository has been launched at the University of Bern in September 2021. With BORIS Portal research data, the requirements of funding agencies for archiving and accessibility of research data can be met, data can be secured, and access rights can be managed. Researchers from the University of Bern (UniBE), including the Insel, can archive research data according to FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) on the systems of the university's automatically backed-up IT services; openly share research data or restrict access to the data to a certain period of time or provide metadata only; integrate anonymized data e.g., from clinical studies into the submission workflow with Data Transfer Agreement (DTA); and determine, manage and declare usage and access rights for each individual file, if needed.
The BORIS Portal project information system enables researchers at the UniBE to (i) provide access to information about funded individual and collaborative as well as national and international research projects; (ii) assign personnel responsibilities within projects (roles); and (iii) linking projects, data, researchers, and scientific publications.
In addition, BORIS Portal provides the governing bodies of the University of Bern with information for developing and sharpening the research profiles and research strategies. Among other things, BORIS Portal enables and facilitates the targeted promotion of research (e.g., promotion of young researchers, interdisciplinary collaboration) linking research outputs at the national and international levels. As a public open platform, BORIS Portal is intended to create transparency about the research activities of the UniBE for a public domain. For the industry community, BORIS Portal can offer uncomplicated contact to researchers.
The work in progress is related to creating researchers’ profiles and linking them to other resources, e.g., awards; exporting project information to researchers' profiles and institute's web pages; make it possible to import project information that is already available in other systems into the BORIS Portal (e.g., project databases of research funding institutions). Likewise, data and metadata can be exported from BORIS research data and project to internal or external partner systems.
