II.2.4) Description of the procurement:
The subject of this public procurement is the acquisition of an application for foreign search
of opponents, allowing to find optimal (best matching) foreign opponents (exclude
from the offer of Czech and Slovak scientists, or identify foreigners who work in
CR) of the project by analyzing the project data (project name, name of the applicant and
in particular the project abstract) and their comparison with the data in the worldwide database of articles.
The subject of this public contract is the supply of an existing, created application,
the subject of this public contract is not the development of a new information system.
Applying simultaneously with finding optimal opponents based on semantic
comparison based on a suitable number of so-called thesaurus and assignment
potentially suitable opponents to individual project applications must be able to
perform analysis of citation performance of potential opponents and identify potential
conflicts of interest resulting from both co-authorship and institutional affiliations.
An optimal foreign opponent is a respected professional in the industry
proven professional qualification in the field (for example, the amount of citation performance – H-
index).
The system must be able to work with the following industry thesauri (the number of which should not be final and more should be added):
Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Business and Economics, Medicine and Life Sciences, Geosciences, Engineering, Agriculture, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry. The application must be able to perform a semantic analysis of the abstract and create a so-
Imprint of a project (individual terms and keywords have a certain weight and based on them the application’s forces must make a comparison with records in the worldwide database of articles – compare the text of the abstract of the project and the petitioner’s keywords with the abstracts of the articles listed in a worldwide database of articles and identify articles that are thematic closest proposed project (best matching)).
If the Czech draftsman of the project writes poor or inadequate abstract of the project (for example, a word expression is repeated in the abstracts of the project but it does not have anything to do with the research itself), the application must allow it the person who searches for a foreign opponent, to strengthen or weaken the weight of the individual or add more keywords. Additionally, the application must allow execution the choice of the thesaurus other than the one offered by the project based on the abstracts of the project, if is the theme of a multidisciplinary project proposal, and another thesaurus appears to be more appropriate for finding the optimal opponent.

Section III: Legal, economic, financial and technical information
Identifies the application as an optimal potential foreign opponent for project quality assessment and peer review of author articles most in agreement with the project proposal.The application must also be available on the list of all foreign opponents found identify a potential conflict of interest (identifying the number of joint publications in years, or a common institutional affiliation).
The application also has to offer a list of opponents in so-called clusters (clustered). An optimal foreign opponent is often a person with a very high quote index and hence the person very busy, which would most likely did not respond to the request for an opinion. Therefore, the application must offer a cluster his co-authors on the topic where it is possible to select an opponent from this cluster, which has a slightly lower citation index and is at the same time a presumption on the topic research has worked with our optimal opponent and will be the biggest likely to respond to a possible call for cooperation. At the same time, the advertiser asks the application to be able to cover at least below areas, workspaces, and at the same time allowed for search at least in these the provider of explicitly defined workspaces. Workspaces are the same as individual Grant Agencies of the Czech Republic and the Ministry healthcare, respectively. Agency for Health Research of the Czech Republic) – for more info, see ZD incl.
