Introduction

The LUCRIS database is available to employees at Lund University. Researchers can add information about their research to LUCRIS. The public interface to LUCRIS is called the Research Portal. This portal shows what research is happening at Lund University. It is aimed at the public, the media, research funders and more.

On these pages you will find more information about LUCRIS and the Research Portal. There is also information about how to use the different parts (modules) of LUCRIS, with guides and instructions. The "Use LUCRIS" section is mainly for researchers at Lund University. The "Administer LUCRIS" section is for staff who work with managing LUCRIS.

Present your research with LUCRIS

LUCRIS is a relational database, which means you can link different pieces of information in the system. For example, you can connect your research outputs to a project, and the project can then be linked to contracts, and so on. The more connections you create, the easier it is to find your research in the Research Portal.

There are rules about what researchers must add to LUCRIS. These rules and minimum requirements are explained on the following page:

Use data from LUCRIS

Information in LUCRIS can be retrieved in reports. The information can thus be compiled to investigate or show different aspects of the research at Lund University. It is also possible to automatically retrieve data and display it on other websites. If you have a Lucat ID, you can also perform simple searches and collect documents.

How to search

You can either watch a tutorial or follow the instructions below to learn how to search in LUCRIS.

If you are employed at Lund university (have a Lucat ID and a organisational role in Lucat) you can log into LUCRIS and search among all the information in the system. If you search directly in LUCRIS (rather than within the Research Portal) you can access certain information which is not displayed in the portal like awards.

The example below explains how you can limit your search for research output in LUCRIS. Proceed as follows:

Step 1: Go to the "Research Output" module, by clicking on the arrow next to the "Personal" tab:

Step 2: Under the search box in the middle, remove the search filter "My content", now you search in all research outputs that are entered into the system, not just your own:

Where to find and remove the filter called My content (image)

Step 3: Click on the small funnel with a plus sign after:

Step 4: Select relevant filters. To for instance find a research group select the "Organisations" filter:

Step 5: Select more filters to get the information you want. An example of a good filter is "Workflow" in which you can mark that you only want to search for publications that have been validated. In that case, click in "Validated" and "For revalidation".

Step 6: Choose which format you want to save the list in at the bottom under "Download list":
