Cristin registration
Cristin (Current Research Information SysTem in Norway) is a national register that is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of results from R&D/AD and research publications at Norwegian research institutions.
Information about Cris/NVA
Cristin will soon be replaced with CRIS/NVA, and there will be changes due to this transition. The information on this webpage will be updated as soon as the change has occurred. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact biblioteket@kristiania.no.
Cristin
- Universities and university colleges, institutes and health trusts register scientific publications in Cristin. Among other things, this forms the basis for the annual reporting to the Norwegian Ministry of Research and Education and the calculation of institutions’ publishing points (NVI), which in turn form the basis for the calculation of the results-based element of public allocations to institutions. Publishing points will be weighted only at a general organisational level and are not suitable for individual calculations. Researchers must be assessed based on their scientific publications and other results.
Cristin is operated and developed by Unit - the Norwegian Directorate for ICT and Joint Services in Higher Education and Research. Cristin will be included in the Norwegian Science Archive (NSA), which is scheduled for implementation for the summer 2024.

Many people will actively search for information relating to your research activities via your Cristin profile:
- Researchers looking for new partners
- Committees evaluating your applications for research funding
- Journalists looking for specialists in specific fields
It is therefore important that you maintain an extensive and up-to-date researcher profile in Cristin - it will serve you well.

Register your scientific publications
Scientific publications must be registered in Cristin as soon as they have been published and no later than 1 February of the year after the publication was issued.
Scientific publications refers to the publication forms scientific monographs, scientific chapters and scientific articles in periodicals/series.
The Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research’s allocation of public funds to higher education institutions is partly based on the results included in annual reporting. It is therefore important that all employees register their scientific publications in Cristin.
Registering other R&D/AD results
Other R&D/AD results must also be registered in Cristin as soon as they have been published or otherwise made public.
Publications that must and may be self-archived
Scientific journal articles must be self-archived in Cristin.
- Scientific journal articles must be self-archived in Cristin as soon as the article has been published and no later than 1 February of the year after the publication was issued.
- Please refer to the separate Frequently asked questions section below regarding which version to upload.
- The article is subsequently moved from Cristin to the open institutional archive Brage if/when permitted by the publishing agreement.
- The Brage archive technology increases the possibility of your research being found by online search engines and therefore also read and applied.
How to upload a version of your article to Cristin
Chapters and books may also be self-archived in Cristin
- Chapters and books may also be self-archived in Cristin for inclusion in the open institutional archive Brage, but this is not a requirement.
- This will predominantly be relevant to books that have been published with open access.
Frequently asked questions about self-archiving
Which versions can be self-archived?
In the event that a publisher permits self-archiving, the permitted version must be checked with the Sherpa/Romeo service on a case-by-case basis. Nevertheless, the following is often the case:
- Self-archive the publisher’s published version when the article/chapter/book has been published fully openly as gold open access.
- Self-archive post-print when the article/chapter/book has not been published fully openly. Post-print is the latest author version submitted to the publisher after the publication has undergone peer review but before the publisher has added the layout. Ask for a post-print from a co-author if you do not have a copy yourself.
- Pre-print must never be self-archived even if permitted by most publishers. Pre-print cannot be used by scientific archives.
Can the administrative team upload my publication for me?
- Due to clauses in publishing agreements, only researchers themselves have the permission to self-archive their publications. Remember that if you are one of multiple co-authors, you will need to obtain consent from your co-authors before self-archiving the article.
Will I be violating the publishing agreement if I self-archive my publication?
- Self-archiving in Cristin only means that the text is made available in Cristin until further notice. The library will double check if/when the publication can be made available before it is uploaded to the institutional archive, Brage.
My publication is published fully openly, so why do I need to self-archive it too?
- Self-archiving is done to ensure that publications are added to Kristiania University College’s digital institutional archive, Brage. Articles that have already been published as open access must therefore also be self-archived.
Can older journal articles also be self-archived?
- Journal articles that are older than the current NVI reporting year can also be self-archived in Cristin so that the publication is added to the institutional archive, Brage.
Registering your projects in Cristin
- Both internally and externally funded projects must be registered in the Cristin project module.
- The Project Manager is responsible for ensuring that the project is registered in Cristin, but this task can be delegated. Agree who in the project group will be responsible for registering the project, so that no duplicates are created.
- As the project’s R&D results become available, these should be linked to the project page. Before the results can be searched and linked to the project, they must first be registered in Cristin as normal.
Particulars relating to REC-approved projects
- Projects subject to the Norwegian Health Research Act must be registered with the Regional Committees for Medical and Health Research Ethics. The Project Manager for such projects must register their Cristin ID on their personal card in the REC application portal before submitting an application to REC.
- Find your personal Cristin ID and store it on your personal card in the REC portal
- When/if the project is approved by the REC, the project will be automatically transferred to Cristin (via SPREK). At the same time, the Project Manager will receive an e-mail containing a link to the project.
- Always continue editing the project created by REC in Cristin, as this is the project REC will monitor. Do not create a duplicate project in Cristin, as this could result in information about project participants, results and more being incorrectly registered in the duplicate and not taken into account.

- Correct referencing of affiliation in scientific publications:
Kristiania University College employees must reference Kristiania University College in all scientific publications and other results linked to R&D/AD. This also applies to projects implemented as part of part-time positions that may be linked to other institutions. In such a case, both institutions must be referenced.
