NHMRC and ARC acknowledgements

When submitting records to Trove it’s important to include the most comprehensive data possible. For publications or data sets produced with the assistance of NHMRC or ARC funding, make sure you include the grant number in a Dublin Core relation field.

Why include the grant number?

By including grant numbers in records, institutional repositories can make their research outputs easier to find and their data more useful for analysis. It becomes possible to:

  • Quickly find and identify all NHMRC/ARC records in Trove
  • Identify research created under a specific grant
  • Compare the number of grant-funded papers coming from each institution
  • Compare the number of grant-funded papers coming from each researcher
  • Analyse the output of institutions year by year, and more.

Some of these tasks you can do right now in the Trove interface. For example:

  • Find all records associated with NHMRC grants (type into the Trove search box "http://purl.org/au-research/grants/nhmrc")
  • Find all records associated with ARC grants (type into the Trove search box "http://purl.org/au-research/grants/arc")
  • Find all records associated with a particular grant number, eg. for ARC grant number LP0990135 – type into the Trove search box "http:/​/​purl.org/​au-research/​grants/​ARC/​LP0990135"; for NHMRC grant number 1013667 - type into the Trove search box  "http:/​/​purl.org/​au-research/​grants/​NHMRC/​1013667".

Records can also be accessed via the Trove API for integration in your own interface. If you have an API key, you can pull all Trove records with an ARC grant number as follows:

https://api.trove.nla.gov.au/v2/result?key=[YOUR API KEY]&q=%22http://purl.org/au-research/grants/ARC%22&zone=all&include=workversions

And all Trove records with an NHMRC grant number like this:

https://api.trove.nla.gov.au/v2/result?key=[YOUR API KEY]&q=%22http://purl.org/au-research/grants/NHMRC%22&zone=all&include=workversions

To find all records associated with ARC grant number LP0990135:

https://api.trove.nla.gov.au/v2/result?key=[YOUR API KEY]&q=%22%22http//purl.org.au-research/grants/ARC/LP0990135%22&zone=all&include=workversions

To find all records associated with NHMRC grant number 1013667:

https://api.trove.nla.gov.au/v2/result?key=[YOUR API KEY]&q=%22%22http//purl.org.au-research/grants/NHMRC/1013667%22&zone=all&include=workversions

How to tag records with grant numbers

ARC

For items produced with ARC funding, the relation field should contain the base url for an ARC grant, followed by the grant number. Make sure not to include any spaces. The base URL for ARC grants is:

http://purl.org/au-research/grants/arc/

A relation field should look like

<dc:relation>http:/​/​purl.org/​au-research/​grants/​arc/​[grant id]</dc:relation>

Here’s an example of a relation field for an item produced with grant id LP0990135

<dc:relation>http:/​/​purl.org/​au-research/​grants/​arc/​LP0990135</dc:relation>

If the work was published with multiple grants, insert each grant number into a separate relation field. Here’s an example of multiple relation fields on the same record, for an item produced with grants LP0669168, LP0210306, DP0665198.

<dc:relation>http:/​/​purl.org/​au-research/​grants/​arc/​LP0669168</dc:relation>

<dc:relation>http:/​/​purl.org/​au-research/​grants/​arc/​LP0210306</dc:relation>

<dc:relation>http:/​/​purl.org/​au-research/​grants/​arc/​DP0665198</dc:relation>

NHMRC

The same principle applies to NHMRC records. The base URL for NHMRC grants is:

http://purl.org/au-research/grants/nhmrc/

Here’s an example of a relation field for an item produced with grant id 1013667

<dc:relation>http:/​/​purl.org/​au-research/​grants/​nhmrc/1013667</dc:relation>

If the work was published with multiple grants, insert each grant number into a separate relation field. Here’s an example of multiple relation fields on the same record, for an item produced with grants 1013667, 1020770 and 1021972.

<dc:relation>http:/​/​purl.org/​au-research/​grants/​nhmrc/1013667</dc:relation>

<dc:relation>http:/​/​purl.org/​au-research/​grants/​nhmrc/1020770</dc:relation>

<dc:relation>http:/​/​purl.org/​au-research/​grants/​nhmrc/1021972</dc:relation>
