In the preprint by authors Grischa Fraumann, Svantje Lilienthal, Christian Hauschke described the Registry of Scientometric Data Sources (RSDS) and several scientometric data sources recorded in this open registry that could be of interest for scientometricians, institutional researchers, librarians, practitioners, policy makers, students and other stakeholders with an interest in scientometrics. This registry was created after carrying out a literature review and a technical evaluation of several data sources. Each data source is recorded with descriptive metadata fields and URLs to further information.
The objective of the ROSI project is to develop a visualization of scientometric indicators based on open data sources while taking into account user needs. The developed register is available at the link https://osl.tib.eu/rosi-registry/
Open data sources are constantly changing, and this is why some sources might be added to the registry or replaced in the future.
