El valor de los sistemas CRIS en materia de apoyo a la investigación

Abstract

The presentation explores various ways in which Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) may be used to provide research support services. A first example for this is the way CRISs are used -- together with institutional repositories -- for Open Access/Open Science implementation purposes. The CERIF data model is presented as the basis for a wide range of interconnected contextual metadata elements that allow the comprehensive collection of research information to both showcase the research activity conducted at an institution and to support evidence-based decision-making within it. CRISs may also be of great value to collect information to be used for a reformed research assessment process in line with the aspirations of the CoARA movement. An overview of the CRIS landscape in Spain is provided together with a few reflections on the various software solutions available in the country and some specific features of such landscape.
