Haris - Hanken research database

Guide to Haris - Hanken's research database

Getting started

As academic staff at Hanken, you automatically have a personal user account in Haris and a public profile.

  • View your public profile: Haris public portal
  • Edit your profile: Haris admin → Edit profile 

We recommend enrich your profile to give a full picture of your research. An accurate profile can be used to share your research across multiple channels. It is desirable that your profile in the Haris public portal is at least as detailed as your personal page on Hanken's web. You can add:

  • research interests, education information and career details
  • a profile photo
  • links to your (academic) social media profiles

For guidance see How to edit your profile, Create and connect ORCID ID.

Personal user overview

When you log in to Haris, the start page is your personal user overview – a workspace visible only to you and Haris administrators. It is different from your public portal profile and includes tools to manage your research information.

Researcher profile

This section dispays your key personal details.

  1. My public profile: Link to your profile in the Haris public portal.
  2. Curriculum vitae: Shown if you have added a public CV.
    See instructions for adding a CV.
  3.  -
  4. ORCID link: Appears if you have connected your ORCID ID. It is highly recommended that Hanken researchers should have an ORCID id and add it to Haris.
    The link Authorise export of content to ORCID: Directs you to ORCID to create an ID or to enable automatic export of research outputs.
    Learn more about ORCID ID and Haris.
  5. Edit profile: Update and enrich your profile with a photo, research interests, academic social media links, and more.

PlumX Metrics

PlumX tracks engagement with your research outputs across five categories: Usage, Captures, Mentions, Social Media, and Citations.

Whart is ORCID?

ORCID (Open Researcher & Contributor Identifier) provides researchers with a unique and permanent digital ID that helps distinguish your work from others – especially useful when names are common or change over time. 

ORCID is free, non-profit, and community-driven. It benefits researchers at all career stages, from PhD students to senior academics.

Why use an ORCID ID?

  • Solves the name ambiguity issues.
  • Links to all your research outputs in one place.
  • Reduces repetitive data entry across systems.
  • Required or recommended by many publishers, funders, and institutions.

You can include your ORCID ID IN:

  • Funding applications
  • Manuscript submissions
  • Your CV

Add your ORCID ID in Haris

If you already have an ORCID ID:

  • Go to Edfit profile in your account.
  • Click Create or Connect your ORCID ID to link it. 

If you don't have one yet, easily create one by clicking Create or Connect your ORCID ID.

  • Details from research outputs and projects

The network map is based on research outputs and projects.

 

How it works:

  • Click on a dot to view more information about a collaborator or institutiob.
  • You can view the network as a map, profiles or research units.
  • It the map doesn't reflect your collaborations accurately, you can hide it from your public profile:
    • Edit profile > Portal profile > Collaboration map > Toggle off Show collaboration map on profile. Note: Only the map is hidden The Network section showing the number of collaborations remains visible.

Highlighted content on your overview page

By default, the the public portal overview shows the five most recent items per content type. You can customize this by highlighting specific items.

To edit Highlighted content:

Fingerprint concepts

A fingerprint overview displays the top concepts associated with your research, helping others quickly understand your areas of expertise.

What is a fingerprint?

  • A fingerprint is a set of weighted key terms mined from the text of your research outputs, profile information, and other documents. 
  • These terms are extracted using the Elsevier Fingerprint Engine, which analyzes English-language scientific texts using subject-specific tesauri. 

How it works

  • The engine identifies concepts and assigns weights based on how closely your contents relates to them. 
  • Fingerprints are updated regurarly, but new concepts may not appear until they are added to the system.

Uses of fingerprints

  • Provide a snapshot of your research focus
  • Help with search and filtering in the portal
  • Enable discovery of similar researcher profiles

Managing your fingerprint concepts

  • Go to Edit profile > Fingerprints. Select or deselect concepts to customize your visible research themes. 
    Learn more about Fingerprint indexing.

Scopus metrics

Scopus metrics provide insight into your research impact and are shown by default in your public Haris profile.

What is included

  • H-index displayed for 5 years, 10 years and all years
  • A graph showing volume and timeline of your research outputs
  • Metrics per individual research output (citations and h-index) are shown next to each idem.

How is it calculated
