Haris - Hanken research database

Guide to Haris - Hanken's research database

Getting started with your profile

If you are academic staff emploed by Hanken, you will automatically have a personal user account in Haris and a profile in the Haris public portal.

Haris is integrated with Hanken’s website, so a researcher’s profile in Haris portal is linked to the researcher page on Hanken's web. Haris proves to be a useful tool to disseminate information about your research in different channels.

Therefore, we recommend that you manage your profile to enrich the information about your research. You can, for example, upload a profile picture, add details about your education, research interests and career, and shortly describe your curriculum. If possible, add the information both in English and in Swedish.

See How to edit your profile, Make your CVs in Haris and How to create and connect ORCID ID.
 

New employee at Hanken

As a new employee at Hanken, you should add your publications from the five previous years (current year included) to Haris, even those that are not affiliated to Hanken. This is required for reporting to the accreditations.
NB! If you have co-authored publications with Hanken-affiliated researchers, the publication is probably already submitted to Haris. In this case you should not add a duplicate record. This can easily be checked in the Haris portal or in by searching in the editor when logged in.

If you have previously been affiliated with a university using the Pure software, it is possible to import your research output. There are also other options for importing data. Please contact haris@hanken.fi for help with adding previous publications.

Personal user overview

When logging in to Haris the start page is your personal user overview. This how you, as a personal user, can access, work, explore and add content within Haris. The personal user overview is available only to yourself and Haris administrators. Note that the personal user overview is not the same as your portal profile. The components of the overview is introduced below.

Researcher profile

Your primary information is presented in this section.

  1. My public profile links to your profile in the Haris public portal.
  2. Curriculum vitae will appear here if you have added a public CV to Haris.
    See instructions for adding a CV.

Collaboration network map

Collaboration map. A visualization of your research network, showing other researchers and institutions you have worked with or have co-authors at during the past five years. Collaboration details can be shown as a map, as profiles or research units. By clicking on a dot, you can see more information.

The collaboration network map indicates the location of collaborations within the past five years by showing the countries/regions (and where possible, states) where you had an affiliation or where co-authors of your research outputs were affiliated. The network map is based on research outputs and projects.

 

You can hide the collaboration map to be shown on your public profile if you feel it doesn't add to your profile or does not properly reflect your international collaborations. Note that the collaboration map is improved by adding external organisations to research outputs and activities.

To disable map navigate to Edit profile > Portal profile > Collaboration map > Toggle off Show collaboration map on profile. Note: Only the map is hidden, not the Network section showing the number of collaborations.

Overview page and highlighted content

By default, the five most recent items for each content type is shown on your overview page in the public portal. Alternatively, you can choose certain items to expose at the top of your overview by using the Highlighted content function.

To edit Highlighted content navigate to Edit profile > Highlighted content.

Choose the type of content you want to highlight - research outputs, activities, prizes, or projects. Click the plus sign and search for the content you wish to highlight. Maximum five items can be chosen for each content type.
After adding the entries, you can change their order with the arrows (↑ and ↓) or delete or delete them with the cross (X) showing up to the right when you put the mouse on top of an entry.

Remember to click Save before closing the window.

Fingerprint concepts

A fingerprint overview with the top fingerprint concepts is shown in your personal profile, and may look like this:

Fingerprint is an index of weighted terms, visualized according to their weight. The Fingerprint Engine mines the text of documents to generate a ‘fingerprint’ of key concepts based on the available text data related to a piece of content. It mines the text of scientific documents such as publication abstracts, profile information and other sources.

The Elsevier Fingerprint Engine is a back-end software system that extracts information from unstructured, English-language text and creates an index of weighted terms that characterize that text. The Fingerprint Engine uses a variety of thesauri to support applications pertaining to different subject areas.

Fingerprints are constructed by mining concepts from scientific documents and listing how closely the analyzed documents/texts are related to concepts. New concepts may not appear in your Fingerprint if they have not yet been added to Elsevier Fingerprint Engine during a regular update.

These fingerprint concepts provide a quick snapshot of the key topics covered by the content and can be used during search and filtering. In the Haris portal, it can also be used for finding similar researcher profiles.

You can choose which fingerprint concepts to show in your personal profile. Edit fingerprints by navigating to Edit profile > Fingerprints.

Learn more about Fingerprint indexing.

Scopus metrics

Scopus metrics are by default shown in the Haris portal. The H-index is is displayed in your profile for a period of 5 years, 10 years and all years. A graph showing volume and time period of your research output is also shown by default in connection to the metrics.

Scopus metrics (citations and h-index) is calculated based on the number of publications stored in Haris and citations from Scopus.


Metrics per individual research output are shown next to the output.


You can hide the Scopus metrics (h-index and/or citations) to be shown in your portal profile. Navigate to Edit profile > Portal profile > Show metrics. Note that If you hide metrics, they may still be shown on other pages, such as your co-authors' profiles.

Create and connect your ORCID ID in Haris

ORCID (Open Researcher & Contributor Identifier) provides researchers and authors a unique and permanent digital identifier that can be used throughout research and publishing lifecycles. Open to all, non-profit and community-driven, ORCID is a non-proprietary standard maintained by the scholarly community for the benefit of research and researchers. It is of value to all career stages, from postgraduate research students to the senior academics.

ORCID ID solves the name ambiguity and flexibility problems. Names can change over time and many authors may share the same name. ORCID addresses these problems by allocating each researcher a unique, persistent digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher, and by making this registry publicly available and searchable.

ORCID ID also enables all of your research outputs to be automatically linked to each other. You can maintain all your key information and contributions in one place. ORCID will, over time, reduce the need to enter the same personal and publication data into many different systems.

More information on the benefits of an ORCID, see Why get an ORCID?.

It is useful to give your ORCID ID, for example, in funding applications, submitted manuscripts and CV. Some publishers and funders require your ORCID identifier.

Haris includes a field for authors to record your ORCID ID. If you have an ORCID ID, you can add it into Haris by clicking Edit profile > Create or Connect your ORCID ID.

If you do not have one yet, you can apply for one easily at https://orcid.org/.

Setting up automated search for publications in online sources

You can set up an automated search for publications to be imported. Three databases are scanned for publications that might be affiliated to you: Scopus, Mendeley and Fennica. Scopus is recommended to use as an import source.
