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.

Land reform in Africa: lessons from Kenya
Access to land is increasingly becoming a problem in Africa as a result both of population growth and tenure reforms. The standard argument for tenure reform centres on the role of uncertainty in discouraging investment on land held without long-term security. The rationale for this 'replacement' paradigm, however, can be questioned on economic, ecological and social grounds. The history of land tenure reform in Kenya, especially that of group titles in the semiarid areas, is a case in point.

Impact of land use change on the hydrology and erosion of rain forest land in South Cameroon
Rainfall, water, sediment yields and evaporation were quantified in three catchment areas with undisturbed rain forest, selectively logged forest, and forest with shifting cultivation respectively. Despite a considerable regional variation in rainfall(1700-2300 mm/a), annual evaporation rates were similar (1209-1314 mm/a). The impact of land use practices on water yield is negligible compared to the effect of rainfall.
Meten van maatwerk; monitoring van het WCL-beleid 1994-1996
In opdracht van het Ministerie van LNV, Directie Groene Ruimte en Recreatie heeft DLO-Staring Centrum een monitoring uitgevoerd van het beleid voor de Waardevolle Cultuurlandschappen (WCL). Dit rapport bevat zowel het kwalitatieve als het kwantitatieve gedeelte van de monitoring en richt zich op de jaren 1994 tot en met 1996 met een doorkijk naar 1997. Het proces wordt beschreven van het organiseren van de uitvoering van WCL, het opstellen van het gebiedsperspectief en het aandragen en uitvoeren van projecten. Van daaruit is aangegeven in welke mate de WCL-doelstellingen worden bereikt.
