 ====== Research Systems ======
-===== Systems employed by UK Higher Education =====
+This section provides information on the systems that Higher Education institutions use to manage the research lifecycle. These are primarily:
-**To see which research system are employed by each UK He Institution to to the (overall) [[:he_systems_review|HE systems review]] page**
+**Institutional repositories:**
-===== NEWS =====
+Institutional repositories (IR) - online archives for storing, preserving research "outputs" such as publications, theses and datasets. Institutional repositories support the Open Access agenda through providing publisher compliant digital access via Green and Gold Open Access.
-==== Loughborough University's Institutional Repository migration to Figshare ** ====
+**Data repositories:**
-**[[https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Figshare_as_an_all-in-one_institutional_repository_Loughborough_University_s_DSpace_migration_reconfiguration_of_the_data_repository_and_reintegration_with_Symplectic_Elements/13292075|Case study]]****(November 2020)**
+Institutions may use a single IR to manage publications and data. However, due to the differing storage requirements many may use a separate data repository for storage and access to datasets.
-Loughborough University implemented and configured Figshare to be used as a data repository in 2014. In 2018, work began to restructure the data repository to be used as an all-in-one multidisciplinary institutional repository that included a wide range of research outputs types including data, journal papers, theses and media. This required a collaborative rethink of the Figshare group structure, metadata, and ingest workflows, as well as a revised integration with LUPIN (Loughborough’s instance of Symplectic Elements) and a migration of records from their existing DSpace repository into Figshare
+**Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) / Research Information Systems (RIMS):**
+The two terms are used largely interchangeably within the market. CRIS or RIMS are used to manage the full research lifecycle to include all institutional information relating to resaerch in one place. They may include interlinked metadata relating to:
+  * Researcher profiles
+  * Grant applications / awards
+  * Publications
+  * Supporting information on research impact / research environment
+  * Teaching responsibilities
+Interoperability is at the heart of such systems with most providing data exchange between other institutional systems such as HR, finance and project management systems. Some systems may provide integrative institutional repository functions whilst others will offer interoperability with third party IR solutions.

 **How does it work? ** \\ The DPS sets out minimum standards that suppliers must comply with in order to have their product included. These are set out in the Appendix to the Buyer’s guide which can be downloaded from the service webpage. Jisc members (which include all publicly funded UK universities) can use the service to run mini competitions with suppliers, using standard templates provided, and adding additional requirements of their own, if necessary. Jisc will administer the process on behalf of the member, who can use their own criteria to identify their preferred supplier. If a supplier is selected, Jisc notifies all bidders of the result and contracts are between the preferred supplier and member are drawn up. \\  \\ **Benefits and opportunities for Jisc members** \\ • The framework reduces the procurement burden for members: it facilitates a light touch procurement process for members, as OJEU requirements will have already been fulfilled. Members can focus solely on their specific requirements. \\ • Members can be confident that the services included use a clear set of sector standards \\ • The market for such services becomes more transparent, efficient and effective. \\ • Members get better value for money. \\  \\ **Opportunities for repository suppliers** \\ Repository suppliers can apply to join the DPS at any time.

+This toolkit aims to support you through the entire lifecycle of research data management (RDM). It explains what you should consider and signposts resources from a wide range of websites and organisations.
-**Introduction** \\ "This paper outlines the current state of the organisational, cultural and technical landscape related to OA repositories in the UK, trends and recent developments, and suggestions for improvement"
-**"Software** \\ Of the 160 institutional repositories, 27 use the DSpace open source software, 98 use the EPrints open source software, and 13 use Elsevier’s PURE product. A sizeable minority of those using open source software in fact pay for a hosted solution managed by a third party. Those with local installations are often running rather old software, perhaps because an accretion of local configurations makes it difficult to upgrade "

-From the introduction: \\
-//"Research data management (RDM) has emerged as an area of keen interest in higher education, leading to considerable investment in services, resources and infrastructure to support researchers’ data management needs. This is the first in a series of reports by OCLC Research which examines the context, influences and choices higher education institutions face in building or acquiring RDM capacity—in other words, the infrastructure, services and other resources needed to support emerging data management practices. Our findings are derived from detailed case studies of four research universities, hailing from four distinct national contexts: the University of Edinburgh (UK), the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (US), Monash University (Australia) and Wageningen University & Research (the Netherlands). In this introductory report, we provide some brief background on the emergence of RDM as a focus for research support services within higher education; present a simple framework for navigating the contours of the RDM service space; describe the methodology we employed for assembling our findings and discuss the key elements of RDM capacity acquisition these findings address; and offer a preview of the next report in the series"//

-It has been interesting watching **Research Information Management**  or **RIM**  emerge as a new service category in the last couple of years. RIM is supported by a particular system category, the Research Information Management System (RIMs), sometimes referred to by an earlier name, the CRIS (Current Research Information System). \\  \\ For reasons discussed below, this area has been more prominent outside the US, but interest is also now growing in the US.

 **Research information management** \\ The name is unfortunately confusing – a reserved sense living alongside more general senses. What is the reserved sense? Broadly, RIM is used to refer to the integrated management of information about the research life-cycle, and about the entities which are party to it (e.g. researchers, research outputs, organizations, grants, facilities, ..). The aim is to synchronize data across parts of the university, reducing the burden to all involved of collecting and managing data about the research process. An outcome is to provide greater visibility onto institutional research activity. Motivations include better internal reporting and analytics, support for compliance and assessment, and improved reputation management through more organized disclosure of research expertise and outputs. \\  \\ A major driver has been the need to streamline the provision of data to various national university research assessment exercises (for example, in the UK, Denmark and Australia). Without integrated support, responding to these is costly, with activities fragmented across the Office of Research, individual schools or departments, and other support units, including, sometimes, the library. (See [[http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/research/publications/library/2009/2009-09.pdf?urlm=162926|this report]] on national assessment regimes and the roles of libraries.) \\
