From Open Repositories to CRIS. A Case Study | EuroCRIS

Abstract:  The development of Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) and Institutional Repositories (IR) initially involved distinct systems with different objectives, functionalities, standards, and user groups. They both contribute to the "fourth paradigm" of data-intensive scientific discovery, representing a shift in scientific practices enabled by information and communication technology. Despite a historical separation and discussions on data ingestion, exchange, and interoperability, there has been a convergence and even merging of CRIS and IR.
