CRIS2022 Dubrovnik: An Update from the euroCRIS Board
No full text15 slides.-- Presentation delivered on the CRIS2022 pre-conference Day (Wed May 11th, 2022)This update from the euroCRIS Board presentation delivered in the wake of the CRIS2022 conference in Dubrovnik by the euroCRIS President Sadia Vancauwenbergh provides an update on the ongoing euroCRIS activities over two and a half year since the euroCRIS community had the opportunity to meet face to face for the last time. A summary is provided of the current euroCRIS Board and membership composition, the 2021 euroCRIS account, the ongoing process to have the Statutes updated and the ongoing euroCRIS projects and initiatives
Extending the value of a CRIS with Research Data Management
No full textExtended abstract to be presented at the CRIS2022 conference in Dubrovnik.-- Event programme available at https://cris2022.srce.hr/#section-program15 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the session "Open Science implementation [I]"In this abstract we aim to analyse the adoption of current research information systems (CRIS) for Research Data Management (RDM). We show how CRIS’s hold a key role in facilitating the management and reporting of an institution’s research activities and outputs -- not only do they offer extensive functionality for researchers and research administrators to effectively manage all aspects of their research information, but are also integrating more and more with specialized RDM tools, Institutional Repositories, and other external systems.
This paper provides an overview of how CRIS’s have evolved and integrated to become a crucial part of the RDM chain, including the interoperability, registration, linking, and archiving of data
Flanders Research Information Space as a tool to monitor interdisciplinary research in Flanders
No full textExtended abstract to be presented at the CRIS2022 conference in Dubrovnik.-- Event programme available at https://cris2022.srce.hr/#section-program42 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the session "Open Science implementation [I]"In this study we use the data of an interorganisational CRIS to identify interdisciplinary research projects in Flanders. Because of the amount and the richness of the data available on the FRIS portal, we were able to combine two approaches to approximate interdisciplinarity, i.e. an organisational approach, based on the degree of diversity of the team of researchers involved in a project, and a cognitive approach, based on the
diversity of topics used in the content of the project. With these two approaches we were able to identify a set of research projects that are potentially interdisciplinary in nature. With the proposed mechanism, we can monitor how interdisciplinary research is situated in Flanders and how it evolves over time. Additionally, it can be further developed into a visualisation tool for the FRIS portal to visually mark those projects that are identified as IDR. Despite the fact that this study only focused on the FRIS portal, the proposed methods can easily be applied to other (inter)institutional CRIS systems
Decentralization and duplication: Research information management in the United States
No full textExtended abstract to be presented at the CRIS2022 conference in Dubrovnik.-- Event programme available at https://cris2022.srce.hr/#section-program21 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the session "The evolving CRIS landscape"In Europe, most university leaders and lecturers have a ready grasp of the terms Current Research Information System (CRIS) or Research Information Management System (RIMS). These terms—and the systems they refer to—have been around for some time, are widespread across the continent as shown in the euroCRIS Directory of Research Information Systems (DRIS), and play an important role in policy compliance monitoring and in reporting for external requirements from research funders relating to research assessment and open access
Data Integration for the Study of Outstanding Productivity in Biomedical Research
No full textExtended abstract to be presented at the CRIS2022 conference in Dubrovnik.-- Event programme available at https://cris2022.srce.hr/#section-programPresentation delivered remotely. Recording available at https://youtu.be/7kZeL1HGK08Our goal is to analyze improvement of scientific performance in a multidimensional outcome space, with a focus on American biomedical research. With the growing diversity of research databases, limiting assessment of scientific productivity to bibliometric measures such as number of publications, impact factor of journals and number of citations, is increasingly challenged. Using a wider range of outcomes, from publications through practice improvements to entrepreneurial outcomes, overcomes many current limitations in the study of research growth. However, combining such heterogeneous datasets raise three challenges: 1. gathering in one common place a variety of data shared as csv, xml or xls files, 2. merging and linking this data, that sometimes overlap, 3. inferring the impact of inclusive practises, that are often missing from the datasets. We would like to present our solution for the first of those challenges, and discuss our leads for the second and third challenges
The Flemish Research Discipline Standard: Review & update procedure.
No full text21-slide presentation + 4-page abstract.-- Presented by Evy Neyens within Session 6 "Contributions from euroCRIS members"This contribution describes the review and update process of the Flemish Research Discipline Standard (FRDS), a regional classification for research disciplines in Flanders, and will discuss the limitations of the current approach while introducing a new framework
The CERIF Refactoring Pilot project: an update
No full text24 slides.-- Presented by Jan Dvořák within Session 3 "EOSC-related projects"The progress of the ongoing euroCRIS CERIF Refactoring Pilot project is summarised as a follow-up from the project presentation delivered last May at the CRIS2022 Conference in Dubrovnik. The objectives of the refactoring of the CERIF data model are to keep the strong features of CERIF while at the same time removing the perceived complexity of its data model. This project is an attempt to modernise CERIF ideally involving the community in its further development and fine-tuning. The modularity introduced in the CERIF data model involves having a set of core CERIF entities -- already available for comments on a github repository -- plus a number of modules developed in a decentralised way to ensure the scalability of any future CERIF development. A number of newly introduced CERIF entities in the core model such as agent, activity and resource are finally outlined
Impact of PhD students' research activity on CRIS systems
No full textExtended abstract presented at the CRIS2022 conference in Dubrovnik.-- Event programme available at https://cris2022.srce.hr/#section-program30 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the session "In-person presentations" on Sat May 14thThe Spanish regulatory framework governing university doctoral studies, establishes that, for all purposes, PhD students are researchers in training and, as such, all the activities carried out by these students during their training as doctors, must be recorded. These activities must be detailed in a formal "doctoral activity document" (DAD) that serves to evaluate the student
FAIR research data integration in CRIS at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg
No full textExtended abstract presented at the CRIS2022 conference in Dubrovnik.-- Event programme available at https://cris2022.srce.hr/#section-program32 slides.-- Presentation delivered within the session "Open Science implementation [II]"Although research data is an important research outcome and there are broadly used meta data standards like the DataCite schema, handling such information in research information systems is still a challenge. We present an implementation for an integrated workflow towards a maximal reusability of data-associated meta information
