On 1 March 2021, the Wadden Academy launched the Wadden Research Portal developed by Dialogic. This Portal gathers and presents scientific research related to the Wadden Sea area in a clear manner. It allows researchers, students, and policymakers to gain insight into published research on specific topics, who is conducting the research, and the overarching themes of the research.
The Portal contains information on approximately 10,000 publications selected from a collection of publications from the research platform Dimensions by Digital Science. Through automatic analysis of abstracts, these publications have been classified. This enables an understanding of publications contributing to various themes of the Trilateral Knowledge Agenda regarding the Wadden Sea area. Moreover, 17 themes have been identified through topic modelling that cut across the entire collection.
As the Portal is a curated selection of relevant research, search results are not sorted by potential relevance. Instead, search results present visualisations showing the number of publications per year, per country, per Trilateral Knowledge Agenda theme, and finally the most common topics. This way, search results form a collection on a specific topic, rather than a sorted list of potentially relevant publications.
The Wadden Research Portal can be accessed at https://wadden.dialogiconderzoek.nl/.
