Welcome back to our series of case studies of research funders using the Grant Linking System. In this interview, I talk with CĂĄtia Laranjeira, PTCRIS Program Manager at FCCN|FCT, Portugalâs main public funding agency, about the agencyâs approach to metadata, persistent identifiers, Open Science and Open Infrastructure.
With a holistic approach to the management, production and access to information on science, FCCN|FCT’s decision to implement the Grant Linking System within their processes was not simply a technical upgrade, but a coordinated effort to continue building a strong culture of openness. With the mantra âregister once, reuse alwaysâ, FCCN|FCT efforts to embrace open funding metadata was only logical.
Repositories are home to a wide range of scholarly content; they often archive theses, dissertations, preprints, datasets, and other valuable outputs. These records are an important part of the research ecosystem and should be connected to the broader scholarly record. But to truly serve their purpose, repository records need to be connected to each other, to the broader research ecosystem, and to the people behind the research. Metadata is what makes that possible. Enhancing metadata is a way to tell a fuller, more accurate story of research. It helps surface relationships between works, people, funders, and institutions, and allows us as a community to build and use a more connected, more useful network of knowledge - what Crossref calls the âResearch Nexusâ.
The Crossref Grant Linking System (GLS) has been facilitating the registration, sharing and re-use of open funding metadata for six years now, and we have reached some important milestones recently! What started as an interest in identifying funders through the Open Funder Registry evolved to a more nuanced and comprehensive way to share and re-use open funding data systematically. Thatâs how, in collaboration with the funding community, the Crossref Grant Linking System was developed. Open funding metadata is fundamental for the transparency and integrity of the research endeavour, so we are happy to see them included in the Research Nexus.

Setting up your iThenticate 2.0 account for use directly in the browser (admins only)
This section is for Similarity Check account administrators only. It explains how administrators need to set up the iThenticate 2.0 account for their organisations if they are planning to use iThenticate in the browser. You need to follow the steps in this section before you start to set up your users and share the account with your colleagues.
If you are using iThenticate v1 rather than iThenticate 2.0, take a look at the section for v1 account administrators.
If you intend to access iThenticate 2.0 through an integration with your Manuscript Submission System (MTS) instead, go to setting up your MTS integration.
Your personal administrator account in iThenticate 2.0
Once Turnitin has enabled iThenticate 2.0 for your organisation, the main editorial contact provided on your application form will become the iThenticate account administrator.
You will receive an email from Turnitin with a link to set your credentials. The email will look like this:
Click on the blue âSet up my accountâ button at the bottom of the email. This will bring you to a page which looks something like this:
Fill out your username and password, and donât forget to tick to agree to the terms and conditions. You will then arrive at your new iThenticate 2.0 account.
How do you know if youâre an account administrator?
When you are logged in to iThenticate, what tabs can you see?
If you’re using iThenticate 2.0, you will only be able to see Users on the menu if you’re an account administrator.
So if you can’t see Manage Users or Users, youâre not an account administrator, and you can just read the user instructions for iThenticate 2.0 on the Turnitin website.
Updating your email address, username or password in the future
If you need to change your personal email address, username or password in the future, you can find instructions on the Turnitin website.
If you forgot your password and have never signed into your new 2.0 account, you’ll need to reach out directly to Turnitin’s support to have your password resent to you from Turnitin.
If you’ve already signed into your 2.0 account, but can’t remember your password, you can simply use the Forgot Password link on the login screen of your unique 2.0 website (https://crossref-xxx.turnitin.com, with xxx being your member ID).
