If researchers decide not to share their data, they won’t have access to comparisons with other researchers generated by the matchmaking algorithm. They will also receive a notification regarding this (Figure 4.)

Research interests and matchmaking
Researchers can further refine their profiles under the “Research and Teaching Interests” section (Figure 4.). They can select keywords from categories such as thematic lines, disciplines, fields of research, fields of teaching, and modes of cooperation (as defined by the leaders of Work Package 5). Researchers may select as many keywords as desired. For this purpose, the following catalogs are used: Thematic Lines, Web of Science Keywords, ISCED Fields, and Modes of Cooperation. These catalogs are read-only and searchable

Based on the selected keywords, the matchmaking algorithm calculates the percentage of alignment between the researcher and other researchers within the Virtual Campus. This is displayed under the “UNIC Mapping” option (Figure 56.).

The algorithm also calculates the matching percentage for each selected category. Results are presented in a table, comparing the researcher’s selected keywords with the matching percentage for each category (Figure 6). These details are accessible by clicking on Details. This algorithm was implemented to enhance networking opportunities among researchers within the UNIC Open Science Campus.
