This document discusses the emerging role of current research information systems (CRIS) in facilitating open scholarship. It defines CRIS as tools that provide access to and disseminate research information from an institution. CRIS are increasingly important for research assessment exercises like REF, open access policies, and showcasing an institution's research outputs, impacts, and activities. The document also describes how one university library uses its CRIS to provide services around REF submission, open access, research data management, and more. By centralizing research information, CRIS can help change researchers' attitudes and the culture around issues like copyright and sharing work openly.

2. Definition of a CRIS
‘… any informational tool dedicated to provide
access to and disseminate research information’
www.eurocris.org
‘… a database or other information system to
store and manage data about research
conducted at an institution’

3. Why do we need a CRIS

REF will require at least as much data collection
by Universities

9. Institutional Strategic need
• Research strategy – REF2020
• Asset exploitation – Open Access, RDM, Impact
• Promotion and reputation - benchmarking
• Research income
– demand management & compliance

• What do I have to do?
• Can I please use one system?
• Great … I can reuse the
information
• Great … I can see all my stuff
together
• Wow.. It’s been downloaded
how many times?
• Yes - please can I have a DOI
for my paper’s data
24. • Stewardship of research outputs
• Discovery, reuse and impact
• Partnership in the research process
• Agent for change in research culture

SCHOLARSHIP
26. Workflows for data entry
• Collecting metadata earlier and collaboratively
• Different skills and roles
• Flexible approach – discipline specific
• Chemistry – decentralised ‘pathfinder’ model
• Physics, Medicine using ArXiv or PubMed APIs
• Humanities carefully crafting and uploading
revised manuscripts

Advice on data management
LIBER 2015, London, June 24-26Anna Clements/Jackie Proven
33. CRIS as ‘lightning conductor’
• Attitudes to copyright and ownership
• Complexities in the publication process
• Data on research activity previously unseen
• Visible trends eg changing deposit culture
• Dialogue on compliance v benefits
• Standards, tools and expectations of
interoperability

Notes de l'éditeur
Funder and grant acknowledgement: all you need to know
This short session will explain the value of acknowledging funders and grants in your publications, and the best way of doing this. We will cover statements about underlying research data, the basics of linking papers, as well as funding and data in Pure.
There will be a presentation, practical demo, and time for questions covering:
why proper funding acknowledgements in published journal articles are necessary
good practice and standard formats for acknowledgements
capturing funder and grant details – in submission systems and in Pure
benefits of funder acknowledgement – compliance, reporting, visibility of research
linking publications and data
access to underlying data
not forgetting … correct author affiliation
How to make this work, using the CRIS to help, but adapting to support varying practices
Chemistry – prolific authors, frequent deposits, need admin support with enough knowledge to help at key time
Physics – not disrupting a practice that works
Humanities – understanding sensitivities, single-authored works etc
Simple, ‘need to know’ basis
People in the chain know about it and can step in to provide support
Data can be revisited, with revalidation triggers
Involving the right people, understanding interactions and dependencies
High level view of lifecycle, and where the CRIS currently helps… where else?
Gradual move to author-driven deposits
Support in the right places leading to change of attitudes – ‘it’s actually not that hard’
Many things visible that were previously known only to corresponding authors – shared understanding and responsibility, the idea of stewardship
