RADAR Software Release (Version 1.10)

Since April 20, 2021, RADAR has been available in the new software version v1.10. The RADAR portal has been fundamentally revised. All RADAR information previously available on the RADAR portal is now available on a new, independent RADAR website. The redesigned RADAR portal and the new RADAR website have a common layout and are linked to each other by buttons and menus.

August 3, 2021 - During the relaunch of the RADAR portal https://www.radar-service.eu/radar/en/home, we focused on improving clarity, readability and usability. When the portal is called up, a list of the latest data publications is displayed immediately, allowing for further searching, faceting, sorting, browsing, and access to individual data sets. The optimized header bar takes users to the RADAR registration page, where they can also select a language, search for datasets, and find links to the RADAR website.

The new RADAR website https://radar.products.fiz-karlsruhe.de/en provides access to all relevant information and documents related to RADAR – for example, to features, RADAR variants, terms and conditions, prices, and support. The home page also includes the latest RADAR news as well as the most recent tweet on our Twitter account. The REGISTER and SEARCH IN DATA buttons in the header provide users with convenient access to the RADAR portal.

In the course of the RADAR portal relaunch, we further optimized the accessibility of the RADAR software and for the first time documented the current status in an accessibility statement. Currently, we have focused primarily on barrier-free accessibility of the publicly available pages of the portal. In future releases, we will also, step by step, make the pages that require registration barrier-free.

We hope that all this will further improve the user-friendliness of RADAR - for example, when accessing data publications on the RADAR portal or when searching for the desired information on the RADAR website!

Kerstin Soltau, RADAR Product Manager at FIZ Karlsruhe: “More and more institutions are using RADAR - a strong motivation for us to continuously improve the service in close dialog with our community. While this release focused on user-friendliness, the next one will primarily implement functional enhancements.“
