Example template

A small example template describing the delivery format can be downloaded from here:

Please download it and also read the notes below about the requested data format.

Illustration of “long format”

Please provide indicator data in the following “long” format, as illustrated by the subset below:

Note that all indicator variables are listed in the “variable” column rather than being provided in separate columns.

Excel (without semantic formatting, coloring or similar “non-data” encodings) can be used for the data delivery, as well as .csv-files. If using excel, please provide the data on the first worksheet.

Include a description of the data

Please do not forget to include a description of the data on the second worksheet or as a separate file. This meta information provides more information and descriptions and aims to facilitate interpretation of the included indicator data.

For example:

variable domain system_source variable_types variable_unit description last_modified_date
num_publ research bibmet numeric number Very important to add a clear description here. Number of publications of type XXX 2024-03-01
cf research bibmet numeric ratio Field-normalized citation rate, as an aggregated ratio. 2024-03-01
jcf research bibmet numeric ratio Field-normalized citation rate for journals, as an aggregated ratio at the unit level 2024-03-01
top10 research bibmet numeric number Proportion on publications belonging to top10% in its subject field. 2024-03-01

Notes

  • Ideally provide data for each level separately (i.e. KTH-level (level 0), school and department), even if lower-level data at the department level could be used to aggregate to higher levels. This reduces the risk of misunderstandings on how the data can be used, for example, double-counting of variables (e.g. publications or projects) when data is aggregated from the department to the school level.
