Overview of publications reported in OBD
Recording of results in the OBD module is governed by Rector's Directive No. 40/2021, Registration of creative activities, projects and employees´ mobility at Charles University, as amended by OP 26/2023:
"The record must be made within 3 months of the date of issue or publication of the result, but no later than the announced deadline for the end of data collection for the year in question"
The end of the previous year's data collection is announced at the end of February each year.
The author of the result is mainly responsible for its documentation
Each result can only be recorded in connection with the author's employment or study relationship, which must be related to their educational and/or creative activities at the University
When submitting the result to RIV, the author must provide the following information: the managing department, author's name, a summary (annotation) of the result, keywords, the method of funding, the classification according to the internal classification of scientific disciplines, and the bibliographic details of the periodical or book.
Author's name: select from the code list to include the reporting department, personal number, or ORCID in the record in addition to the name and surname
Annotation and keywords: in Czech and English
Method of funding: link to the source of funding within institutional (COOP, PRIMUS, GAUK, JRC codes) or earmarked funding for science and research (GAČR, TAČR, HORIZON, NAKI, AZV); If the results are not associated with a specific program, use the code i-FHS
Internal classification of disciplines: select the appropriate classification from the codebook that aligns with the structure of the disciplines and fields of study related to the COOPERATIO program or those cultivated by the faculty
Bibliographic data: select the journal from the index. If the journal has not yet been added, please contact the HelpDesk for assistance
As stipulated in Rector's Directive No. 40/2021, Article 19, paragraph 9:
"Academic staff, researchers and students of doctoral programmes are obliged to maintain a continuous ranking of the most significant results for the past reporting period for the purposes of preparing accreditation documents and selecting results for internal and national evaluation of creative activity"
Each author has an OBD: Most Significant Results since 2020 (UK) portlet posted on the IS Veda home interface dashboard. In it, they should identify the ten results they consider most significant. These must be results from the last five years and recorded in the OBD module. You can edit their order by clicking on the Edit Most Significant Results link in the bottom right corner of the portlet. In case of non-standard functioning of the portlet, you can contact the HelpDesk.
