Netherlands – IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support – Current Research Information System

TU Delft currently uses Elsevier’s Pure as its CRIS to manage and report on a wide range of academic outputs, including publications, datasets, software, activities, and collaborations – all related to staff from TU Delft. Library staff do the bulk of data entry, much of it via automatic harvesting from sources such as Scopus and Dimensions. Library staff also make manual entries and improve the quality of the metadata. Other staff in the university (both researchers and support staff) also upload content manually to the CRIS. The system supports internal reporting and compliance monitoring related to research outputs and related information. It also makes outputs publicly visible through the TU Delft Research Portal (currently Pure portal). The CRIS is integrated with other institutional systems such as the HR system, the TU Delft Repository, and a Data Warehouse which centralises university data from a variety of sources.
