Upcoming NISO Virtual Conference!

Research Information Systems: The Connections Enabling Collaboration


Don’t Miss This Outstanding Lineup of Speakers!


Date: Wednesday, August 16, 2017

Time: 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. (Eastern)

 

Many in the academic community have heard about research information systems (RIS); these are increasingly sophisticated systems that capture various data surrounding the funding, workflow, and final output of the research process for purposes of analysis and assessment. The next phase of development for RIS is to create a network of researchers in the interest of building strategic research initiatives and effective collaborations. This conference will look at the vision for and the progress being made in various initiatives. How might research information systems become more tightly integrated with workflow applications? The data captured in an RIM or CRIS (Current Research Information System) is significant and should drive increased functionality and accruing value. The event will spotlight entities that foster—through the development of resources or networks—the ability of researchers to identify and connect with collaborators for their work.
