DSpace-CRIS is the first free open-source extension of DSpa= ce for the Research Data and Information Management ever deve= loped. Differently from other (commercial) CRIS/RIMS :yellow-star:, DS= pace-CRIS has the institutional repository as its core component, providing= high visibility on the web to all the collected information and objects. D= Space-CRIS broadens DSpace functionality and expands its data model while r= emaining aligned with its code base.
DSpace-CRIS is built/maintained by 4Science.
DSpace-CRIS adopts/is compliant with international standards and practices to facilitate interoperability an= d data transfer:
- ORCID API v3 (co= mplete compliance including pull/push of info for profiles, publications, p= rojects)
- Signposting and ResourceSync (which implement = COAR NGR Recommended Behaviors) - version 5 and 6=
- OpenAIRE Guidelines for Literature Repository Managers v= 4, for Data Archives, for CRIS Managers v1.1.1 (based on CERIF)
The main characteristic of DSpace-CRIS is its flexible data m= odel, which allows you to coll= ect and manage research data and information typical of a CRIS system, to d= efine entities and attributes with their reciprocal links. If you would jus= t want to enhance the management of authors, provide name variants and IDs = such as the ORCiD, exploit the varied ecosystem of persistent identifiers, = link researchers to projects, awards, etc., DSpace-CRIS flexible data model= can support this without aggravating the management burden of a norma= l institutional repository, while giving a great added value. Besides, it h= as useful features such as the collaboration network graph, aggregated (by = researcher, by department) bibliometrics and statistics with graphic report= ing, CVs and bibliographies, integration with ORCiD API v.3 and much more, = you can explore them vie the menu items here on the left.
Its flexibility allows to configure different data models and me= tadata schemas, providing the community with new and creative uses= of DSpace, such as DSpace-GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums= ) for the Cultural Heritage.
:yellow-star: What is a CRIS/RIMS?
A Current Research Information System (CRIS) - also called Research Info= rmation Management System (RIMS) =E2=80=93 stores and manages data about re= search conducted at an institution. Its scope is to provide researchers, ma= nagers and administrators, funders and decision makers, with a solid knowle= dge of the research activities, their outputs and results to inform institu= tional strategies.
CRIS systems are also useful to evaluate research performance, expose re= sults to find new funding opportunities, avoid duplication of activities, a= nalyze trends, reference to full-text or multimedia scholarly publications,= locate new contacts and identify new markets for products of research, dis= seminate research to support open knowledge.
The DSpace-CRIS=E2=80=99 Vision: Publica=
tions are an important component of the research lifecycle: they create lin=
ks between scholars and they support research administrators in the m=
easurement and decision making processes. However there are many other =
;equally important entities in the research ecosystem that need description=
, reciprocal links and tracking, such as projects, grants, patents, o=
rganization units, researcher profiles (people), etc. Integrating and =
contextualizing all these entities along with publications, creates great v=
alue for each of those entities in terms of visibility, discovery and the u=
nderstanding of the complexity of the research domain. Nowadays, the most c=
ommon definition for such integration is =E2=80=9CCurrent Research Information System=E2=80=9D (CRIS)<=
/a>
DSpace-CRIS enables the ingestion, storage, display and management of data=
and metadata for all the abovementioned research entities. This module pro=
duces a smooth integration between native DSpace items (publications) and o=
ther CRIS entities. All entities can then be linked to each other usin=
g autocomplete/lookup functions in the submission/edit phase and/or the int=
er-navigation in visualizations.
History and maintenance: Three DSpace Committers, Andrea Bollini (4Science) , Luigi Andrea Pascarelli (4Science) and Giuseppe Digilio (4Scie= nce), are also actively involved in the development and maintenance of DSpa= ce-CRIS (originally developed at Cilea/Cineca as a project funded by the = Hong Kong University). Besides their committment, a larger community is= growing around DSpace-CRIS as a means to represent the research domain, se= e DSpace-CRIS Users.<= /p>
Support options: see DSpace Support for free support, =
DSpace Service Providers for professional support.
If and whenever needed, any DSpace-CRIS installation can be easily turne= d (back) into a basic DSpace installation with no need to change or convert= any data. The additional information used by DSpace-CRIS is kept in separa= te tables, and the integration with the standard DSpace features is provide= d by the DSpace authority framework.

For version 5 and 6 it is= recommended to use the latest code in the live maintenance br= anch as it includes ongoing bug fixes and improvements. Versio= n 5 is more stable and also richer (thanks to the numerous contributions of= institutions using it, all contributions are being ported directly to vers= ion 7).
The code is maintained by its o= riginal developers and other contributors in the 4Science repository, free = to use for everyone. Feel free to submit your Pull Request to start collabo= rating with the DSpace-CRIS / GLAM community.
