From now on, CEN and CENELEC grant access to the bibliographies of their homegrown standards and standard publications, thus complementing the bibliographic information that is already available on the ISO website for international standards.
The Code of Practice (CoP) on standardization for researchers, adopted on 1 March 2023 by the European Commission (Commission Recommendation (EU) 2023/498), recommends promoting standardization as a means of knowledge valorisation at the national and regional level. Having a scientific publication referenced in a standard’s bibliography proves the importance of the scientific publication for standardization.
Following the STDBIBLIO project financed by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), CEN and CENELEC now offer access to the bibliographies of their homegrown standards and standard publications as part of the overall information available on the CEN and CENELEC website.
Researchers can make use of this information in support of their scientific careers. Such references further provide evidence to research funding organizations about the valorisation of the research outcomes enabled by the relevant funds.
