The project “Online platform for recording, monitoring and reporting scientific events in the Republic of Moldova”, code - 21.70105.39ȘD, has a duration of two years (2021-2022), and is coordinated by Dr. hab., assoc.prof., researcher Vitalie Minciună, Head of the Research and Innovation Organizations Evaluation Section, ANACEC.

Summary of the project

Scientific events are among the main forms of dissemination of scientific results to the scientific community, the educational field and the field of production. Involvement in the organization and conduct of these events is counted and scored in the processes of evaluation of organizations and attestation of scientific and scientific-teaching staff.

In order to standardize this activity, the National Agency for Quality Assurance in Education and Research (ANACEC) has developed and implemented the Regulation on the recognition, classification and recording of scientific manifestations, which provides for the annual development of two registers: National Register of planned scientific events and the Register of published materials based on organized scientific events.

It is very difficult to monitor and validate these activities, to ensure the interoperability of data from these two registers, to contrast the intentions and achievements of hundreds of events organized during a year (in 2021 about 500 scientific events from over 60 research-innovation and higher education institutions were recorded), to verify the correspondence of the organized event to the one initially declared, to specify the type of event held in terms of event classification criteria. All these procedures would be significantly simplified by applying automated methods of filing, reporting, checking, classifying the events initiated and carried out.

In the context of the above, it is necessary to carry out actions (objectives) as follows:

1. Development of an online platform for recording, monitoring and reporting scientific events;
2. Assessing the feasibility of the platform;
3. Elaboration of the National Electronic Register of scientific events planned for 2022;
4. Generating the Register of materials published based on scientific events organized in 2022 (in real time).

Achieving these objectives would help increase the visibility and quality of scientific events organized in the country by monitoring compliance with established standards and facilitating procedures for online evaluation and classification of events in order to quantify them in the process of evaluating organizations and attesting scientific and scientific-teaching staff.

Stages of the project

Stage I. Development of the online platform for recording, monitoring and reporting scientific events.

Elaboration of a platform for the evidence and monitoring of scientific events, with data interoperable with those taken from other compartments of the National Bibliometric Instrument (organization page, author page).

Stage II. Assessing the feasibility of the platform.

Estimating the feasibility of the platform.

Stage III. Elaboration of the National Register of scientific events planned for 2022.

Elaboration of the Register of events for the next year already using the elaborated platform.

Stage IV. Generation of the Register of materials published based on scientific events organized in 2022 (in real time).

Operative generation of updated information on events organized in the reference year (actual situation at the time of access).
