Integrated Research Input & Output System 2

EuroCRIS meeting at Bath next week

Kevin Ginty — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:56:05 +0000

Lots to discuss with CASRAI, and how we can best capitalise on the work there. We have a meeting organised to discuss this at the Bath event. The overlap between this, and the RMAS project is considerable.

The two projects IRIOS-2 and CiA provided progress updates at the JISC hosted RIM3 Programme meeting. See below for a link to the IRIOS-2 presentation given by Simon Kerridge and Kevin Ginty. There were also presentations from RMAS, OSSWatch and JISC InfoKit.

Overall, the event was excellent and the projects have agreed a number of joint initiatives, including working with RMAS and potentially CASRAI.

Keep following the blog for updates on the projects progress.

Repositories Support Project – Embedding Guide and Toolkit

katienurowski — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 16:06:29 +0000

The Repositories Support Project Embedding Guide and Toolkit has been published by the Repositories Support Project and will help institutions to get the best value from their institutional repositories through integration with other university systems, particularly research management systems.

It is aimed at repository staff but will be of interest to other groups such as academic librarians and research management staff.

Over the past few years, there have been a number of JISC funded projects and other institutional initiatives which have focused on the embedding of research repositories into organisational systems, policies and workflows. The results have been documented in websites, blogs, conference presentations etc but they have not been synthesised into a coherent whole. This guide aims to do just that.

Higher Education Business and Community Interaction Survey

I am sure like us many HEI’s are busy finalising HEBCIS returns for 2010-11.

I am optimistic that initatives like IRIOS will facilitate such returns in future as we drive to record and utlise more infomation about ‘non-standard’ research outputs such as public lectures, exhibitions and performance arts.

CIA… BRUCE

simonrkerridge — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 16:16:40 +0000

Lizzie Dipple from Symplectic has just informed us that the BRUCE project final report (available soon) will have some CERIF issues listed that the project dealt with, which would probably be useful for others new to CERIF to learn from
