Analyzing a CRIS: From data to insight in university research

Abstract

The exponential growth of data from research environments has highlighted the emergence of having best analytical processes for the evaluation and assessment of research and research impact. This paper aims to show how we can work with the data stored in a CRIS, CERIF compliant, to provide the main university insights in the research area.

In this way, working with a CRIS, we can obtain curated information that can help the majority of the stakeholders in the research area, not only researchers, but research managers, librarians and decision-making staff of the university among others. We can create dashboards for the decision-making, indicators for the benchmarking of the institution and other rankings.
