Institutions call on academic publishers for richer research data, requiring new tools and processes. Over the last decade there has been a quiet revolution in the way academic institutions track and manage their research activity. “Universities have moved from having multiple systems for single purposes, to also having a single system for multiple purposes”, explains Bo Alroe, director, sales enablement for Elsevier’s Pure software. Now used by over 200 institutions worldwide, Pure is just one of many “current research information systems” (CRIS) which aim to consolidate research information in one platform. The value of a CRIS is that data is homogeneous, inter-related, and uniquely identified, allowing institutions to report across all aspects of their research activity, at multiple levels.
