Each time registering to participate in science and technology tasks, many researchers have to re-declare personal information from the beginning, work process, professional field and list of projects they have implemented. This repeated situation has long become one of the administrative inadequacies in science and technology activities.
Not only increasing procedures, data being scattered in many different systems also affects the efficiency of management, information exploitation and connectivity between research agencies and units.
In the context of Resolution 57-NQ/TW identifying data development as one of the important foundations of science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation, the standardization and sharing of scientific data is becoming an urgent requirement.
In order to remove the above inadequacies, Mr. Dao Manh Thang - Deputy Director of the Department of Information and Statistics (Ministry of Science and Technology) said that the unit has issued an official letter requesting scientists nationwide to review and update information on the National Information System on science, technology and innovation.
Accordingly, scientists update dossiers at the National Information System on science, technology and innovation through VNeID accounts. Information to be reviewed and supplemented includes personal data, work process, professional fields and research works that have been carried out.
After completion, electronic science dossiers can be used directly in the entire process of registration, selection, selection and evaluation of science and technology tasks.
This means that a scientist only needs to build a unified electronic dossier instead of having to declare repeatedly for each task, each program or each different management unit as before.
According to the guidance of the Department of Information and Statistics, the update process is designed to be simple, easy to use, and the implementation time is only from 5 to 10 minutes.
In addition to reducing administrative procedures, data standardization also brings more practical benefits to the research community. After completing the profile update, users will be granted free access to a large-scale science and technology database system, including hundreds of thousands of domestic documents and more than 40 million international documents.
This rich source of knowledge is expected to directly support research, teaching and innovation activities, while improving access to advanced scientific achievements in the world.
More importantly, building a unified electronic scientific dossier also contributes to forming a common scientific data platform nationwide. This is one of the contents suitable for the requirements of standardization, connection, sharing and effective exploitation of data in the spirit of Resolution 57.
In the process of implementing national digital transformation, data is identified as a new resource and a core factor to improve management efficiency. For the field of science and technology, data standardization not only helps management agencies to be more convenient in operating, but also creates conditions for the research community to focus more on professional activities instead of administrative procedures.
A unified data system also contributes to limiting the situation of scattered, unsynchronized or incompatible information between units. When data is updated, verified and used in common, selection, evaluation, acceptance, or policy development of science and technology processes will become more transparent and effective.
The implementation of electronic scientific dossiers is therefore not only a simple technical solution, but also an important step in building a modern, synchronous and highly connected national scientific data infrastructure.
This is also a premise for forming a science, technology and innovation ecosystem based on data, contributing to realizing the goals of science, technology development and digital transformation set out in Resolution 57.
