Registration of Danish energy literature and energy research projects in international information systems

The aim is to disseminate information in Denmark and abroad about Danish energy R&D. Moreover, the aim is to give Danish research institutions, Danish industry and others access to international R&D results. These objectives were achieved by recording Danish R&D projects in the database DENP and by recording Danish publications to international databases, primary ETDEWEB. 1) PROJECTS: A regular recording and indexing has been made of 153 new projects to the database DENP (Danish Energy R&D Projects), based on received information forms or on the annual report Energy 2010. 384 project descriptions were updated, based on received completion forms, or based on the annual report Energy 2010 or on information found on the internet. Updates concern change of status from current to completed, addition of description of the results and of publications (incl. link to the electronic versions). DENP has been in operation without any problems. 2) LITERATURE: A systematic surveillance of energy literature published in Denmark has been made, and 344 publications were recorded with title, abstracts, and controlled terms in English. The publication records, incl. reports in electronc form, were included in the ETDE World Energy Base (ETDEWEB). Information about publications within the coal subject and within the nuclear energy subject were also sent to IEA Coal Database and to the IAEA database INIS (International Nuclear Information System), respectively. 3) KNOWLEDGE CENTER ACTIVITY: Advice has been given on how to use the databases, and enquiries from Denmark and abroad about publications and projects have been answered
