Citation scraping

Using these DOIs, the Helmholtz RSD regularly collects citations form OpenAlex.org and automatically adds them to the list of mentions.
HIFIS Software Spotlights
The HIFIS Software Spotlights were the first software entries to be visible in the RSD. The HIFIS Spotlights do now have their representation in the Helmholtz RSD and appear at the top of the Software grid.
ORCID coupling and public profile pages
Helmholtz RSD users can now link their ORCID to their RSD user account. This new feature opens up the possibility to create public profile pages, providing a comprehensive showcase of the user’s software entries and projects where they have contributed.
