In this study we carried out a bibliometric analysis of the social sciences at three European universities (Vienna, Zurich, Oslo). The data source for this investigation was the Web of Science SSCI and publications between 2000 and 2006 were included for retrieval. Apart from the analysis of the publication output, activity and impact, networks of co-authorships, disciplines and references were explored. In general the results reveal that overall Oslo outperformed the other two universities which show similar publication activities and outputs. Using the University of Oslo as a benchmark should help to outline different strategies (research, publication and cooperation) to enhance the international visibility of the output of the University of Vienna in different fields of the social sciences.

Delivered at the CRIS2014 Conference in Rome; published in Procedia Computer Science 33 (Jul 2014).Contains conference paper (7 pages) and presentation (24 slides).In 2011, the top management of the University of Vienna made a fundamental (and possibly trend-setting) decision to replace the
old research information system with a contemporary vendor system. This paper highlights the reasons behind the decision and illustrates the implementation process, which is not only a challenge from a technical point of view. It is an even more
challenging political task to involve all the stakeholders and especially those who have to live with the burden of recording research output - researchers and staff alike. Our experience shows that a legal reporting obligation, such as that dictated by the
Universities Act 2002, serves as an incentive for users to populate a CRIS with up-to-date information only to a certain extent.
Rather, a user- and researcher-centred approach is crucial for a CRIS to gain user acceptance
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
