My DOCX report (or SNSF report)
Aim
The “My DOCX Report” functionality allows individuals attached to a research unit to create a DOCX document with its list of publications in the format formerly required by the SNSF before the new narrative CV came into force.
Structure
The structure of the report follows the former SNSF recommendations. However, the information contained in Serval allows the first 4 sections to be completed. Authors are required to complete, if applicable, the other 5 sections or to eliminate them.
Format
Aware that each discipline has specific bibliographical style habits for publication lists, “My DOCX report” is a .docx document that can be freely modified by the user.
The bibliographic style used corresponds to that indicated by the SNSF as the most easily readable when evaluating requests:
