Research Documentation

Structured and transparent documentation is an essential part of scientific work. It ensures that research results remain comprehensible, reproducible and accessible in the long term. A systematic recording system is vital for ensuring the quality of scientific achievements and increasing their visibility. It also creates a reliable basis for further analyses.

At the Private University in the Principality of Liechtenstein (UFL), researchers have clear guidelines and supporting resources at their disposal to ensure that their work is recorded in accordance with the rules. This not only ensures scientific verifiability, but also promotes the sustainable utilisation and further development of the knowledge gained.

In 2024, the following scientific achievements of UFL members were documented:

The UFL Research Portal provides a comprehensive overview of the Private University in the Principality of Liechtenstein (UFL)’s numerous research activities and scientific achievements. It is the central information platform for finding out about the latest research results, publications, and the various scientific projects of our researchers. It also provides important information on the awards and prizes that our researchers have received for their outstanding achievements.

The research portal was published and made available to the public at the end of 2024. It is based on an open source repository that has been specifically adapted to UFL's needs for documenting scientific achievements. We are committed to continuous development and optimisation of the portal, with the current focus on populating the platform with relevant data. The portal will provide users with comprehensive access to research information.

The management of the database and the quality assurance of the services recorded in the database are among the core tasks of the Head of the Quality Assurance in Research & Research Funding Unit. The data are used to produce a range of indicators and reports for both internal (e.g. status reports) and external (e.g. annual reports) use.

Further Informations

• The correct indication of the UFL affiliation is a prerequisite for the collection and administration of contributions within the framework of the UFL. Further information can be found in the SAV guidelines.
• The Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is a unique identifier that identifies researchers and links their work. Its documentation in the Research Portal increases visibility and facilitates the attribution of research results.
• The data recorded in the Research Portal is crucial for reporting purposes, such as the Annual Report, and ensures that research activities are accurately presented. Timely and complete input is therefore essential to avoid delays or gaps in reporting.
