Is a Current Research Information System (CRIS) a critical corporate system for HEIs? A Case Study from the University of St Andrews Anna Clements, Assistant Director (Digital Research), University Library, University of St Andrews Chair, UK Pure Strategy Group Exec Strategy, euroCRIS Chair, CASRAI Data Management Planning Working Group Member, Snowball Steering Henry Legg

Definition of a CRIS ‘… any informational tool dedicated to provide access to and disseminate research information’ ‘… a database or other information system to store and manage data about research conducted at an institution’ EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements2

Why do we need a CRIS? Strategic need Operational need … and for the researcher … EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements3

Strategic need Research strategy – REF2020 Asset exploitation - impact Promotion and reputation Research income – demand management & compliance EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements4

Why do we need a CRIS EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements5 REF will require at least as much data collection by Universities RAE/REF determines a third of research income in UK > £1.5 billion The pain of RAE2008

… BUT not just for REF … UK policy drivers EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements RAE

Operational reality Pressure on budgets Increased competition for students incl PGRs and PGTs Senior Management need good quality, timely information – Monitor our performance – Evidence for strategies working/not working – Promote our strengths But have no extra resource EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements10

Operational need REF – Collect, review, select and submit Open Access – Monitor, collect, store, report, expose, measure Research Data Management – Monitor, collect, store, expose, share, measure Benchmarking and KPIs – Collect, calculate, compare EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements11

Benefit to institutional information management Enter once : reuse many Data governance & stewardship Improve data quality without increasing burden Breakdown information silos Adoption of standards e.g. CERIF, ORCiD EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements12

Require high quality information on … People * Researchers * Authors * Creators * Research Students Outputs * Publications * Datasets * Products Finance * Project applications & awards * APC payments Organisations * Departments * Centres * Collaborators * Funders * Publishers Activities & Impact * Engagement * Policy * Evidence metrics * Recognition EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements13

For the researcher Single point to collect/enter research info View onto data held centrally – grants, students Publications and data catalogue Mechanism for reporting outputs to funders Way to ensure publications are REF2020 eligible Promotion via web pages CV generation Find collaborators 16EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements

CERIF – building blocks of a CRIS Common European Research Information Format An international standard (meta)data model for storage and interoperability of research information 18EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements

Features of CERIF Broad coverage: includes all aspects of RI (projects, persons, organisations, funding, publications, datasets, patents, products, bibliometrics, impact indicators, equipment, etc…) Fine-grained structure and flexible architecture, allowing: Role-based, time-stamped linkages providing context Mapping to virtually any (meta)dataformat existing in the Research Information Domain.. interoperable the expression of virtually any formalised use case the ingestion of an unlimited number of controlled vocabularies 19EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements

Benchmarking : Snowball Metrics? A set of clearly defined metrics measuring research inputs, process and outputs allowing universities to understand their strengths and weaknesses, so that they can build and monitor effective research strategies Bottom-up i.e. agreed by institutions not imposed by funders or data suppliers 20EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements

But need to benchmark more widely – nationally and internationally : Free metrics exchange due 2015 Data Institutional Commercial Third party System Bespoke SciVal / InCites Pure / Converis ResearchFish Spreadsheet etc. Snowball Metrics Supplier- and system- agnostic Institutional firewall Exchange of equivalent metrics (not data) with other institutions when both parties agree EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements

CRIS looking forward : more interoperability ORCiD integration More unique persistent identifiers – Organisations – Projects Publication process – collect metadata earlier and earlier in the process – interoperability with publisher systems Interoperability with Researchfish EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements22

CRIS looking forward : impact Exposure & Evidence Research outputs are an institutional asset Build & reinforce reputation Especially if link to public engagement, knowledge transfer, actual measurable impact on society – cultural, economic, health The CRIS can help support this by : Timely capture of activities, outputs, outcomes – as evidence base for impact Related to corporate data – staff, org structure, projects Related to wider sources via persistent IDs e.g. DOIs EUNIS2015, Dundee June 10 th 2015Anna Clements23
