OMEGA-PSIR: Institutional CRIS at Polish Universities

Abstract

The OMEGA-PSIR Current Research Information System was originally developed at the Warsaw University of Technology as a tool to improve the visibility of institutional research outputs and to streamline the institutional information delivery to the Polon central system for research assessment in Poland. After six years of exploitation at the institution, the WUT Knowledge Base is now covering the whole institution, is used for internal research assessment purposes and is able to report to the Polish Ministry. OMEGA-PSIR has been adopted by 16 Polish institutions, which have their own User Group for coordination. OMEGA-PSIR also operates as institutional repository thus being able to support the implementation of Open Access and Open Science. The presentation describes the system architecture and features, exploring a number of research information management workflows that are currently being run.
