Focal point
Location
National Academic Research and Collaborations Information System (NARCIS) is the main Dutch national portal for those looking for information about researchers and their work. NARCIS aggregates data from around 30 institutional repositories. Besides researchers, NARCIS is also used by students, journalists and people working in educational and government institutions as well as the business sector.
NARCIS provides access to scientific information, including (open access) publications from the repositories of all the Dutch universities, KNAW, NWO and a number of research institutes, datasets from some data archives as well as descriptions of research projects, researchers and research institutes.
This means that NARCIS cannot be used as an entry point to access complete overviews of publications of researchers (yet). However, there are more institutions that make all their scientific publications accessible via NARCIS. By doing so, it will become possible to create much more complete publication lists of researchers.
In 2004, the development of NARCIS started as a cooperation project of KNAW Research Information, NWO, VSNU and METIS, as part of the development of services within the DARE programme of SURFfoundation. This project resulted in the NARCIS portal, in which the DAREnet service was incorporated in January 2007. NARCIS has been part of DANS since 2011.
DANS - Data Archiving and Networked Services - is the Netherlands Institute for permanent access to digital research resources. DANS encourages researchers to make their digital research data and related outputs Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable.

Co-evolution of soil and water conservation policy and human-environment linkages in the Yellow River Basin since 1949
Policy plays a very important role in natural resource management as it lays out a government framework for guiding long-term decisions, and evolves in light of the interactions between human and environment. This paper focuses on soil and water conservation (SWC) policy in the Yellow River Basin (YRB), China. The problems, rural poverty, severe soil erosion, great sediment loads and high flood risks, are analyzed over the period of 1949–present using the Driving force–Pressure–State–Impact–Response (DPSIR) framework as a way to organize analysis of the evolution of SWC policy.
Noordzee-beleid
Eind dit jaar zal de definitieve versie van de Beleidsnota Noordzee 2016-2021 worden vastgesteld. Ook op de Noordzee geldt inmiddels het uitgangspunt van meervoudig ruimtegebruik. Dat wil dan zeggen dat er zoveel mogelijk naar functiecombinaties wordt gestreefd. De nota introduceert daartoe een afwegingskader van vijf toetsen. Juridisch klopt zoiets niet: het is als het ronde vierkant of de vierkante cirkel, want weging is totaal wat anders dan toetsing en sluiten elkaar rechtsdogmatisch uit
Spatial modelling and ecosystem accounting for land use planning: addressing deforestation and oil palm expansion in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia
Ecosystem accounting is a new area of environmental economic accounting that aims to measure ecosystem services in a way that is in line with national accounts. The key characteristics of ecosystem accounting include the extension of the valuation boundary of the System of National Accounts, allowing the inclusion of a broader set of ecosystem services types such regulating services and cultural services. Consistent with the principles of national account, ecosystem accounting focuses on assessment of the contribution of ecosystem in generating benefits for human well-being.
Vissen in windmolenparken: inventarisatie van de (on)mogelijkheden
Steeds meer gebieden op de Noordzee worden gebruikt voor verschillende activiteiten waaronder visserij, olie en gaswinning, energie en scheepvaart. Een van deze activiteiten is windenergie op zee. Scheepvaart in windmolenparken is momenteel verboden met uitzondering van onderhoud-, monitoring- en onderzoekvaartuigen. Dit heeft als gevolg dat vissers niet worden toegelaten in windmolenparken en steeds meer visgronden kwijtraken. Vissers zoeken naar mogelijkheden om in gebieden waar windparken staan toch activiteiten te kunnen ontplooien.
