The System SK CRIS, Scientific Publications and Theses – Mirror of Slovak Science

Abstract

The Slovak Current Research Information System (SK CRIS) as a part of the Central Information Portal for Research, Development and Innovation (CIP RDI) has the status of Information system of public administration, defined by the Act 275/2006 on information systems of public administration. The Slovak Centre of Scientific and Technical Information (SCSTI) is responsible for operating, maintaining and providing technical support to this system on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic (ministry).

The new R&D information system, the SK CRIS, is being developed within the Activity No 4 of the NISPEZ1 national project: Enlargement of Central Information Portal for Research, Development and Innovation (CIP RDI) with new functionalities complying with EU standards. The system will be focused on effective work with research projects including a connection with other, science related information systems. In the process of system building, the experience of SCSTI with the R&D information system building and operation is being utilised and generally accepted principles of best practice for current research information systems are followed.
