CRIS

CRIS stands for Current Research Information System, the research information system at FAU. It stores information about research achievements, for example information about a publication, a research project, research data or inventions. Only metadata is stored, for example, the full text of a publication is not stored directly in CRIS, but it does indicate where this full text can be found (for example, by specifying the DOI).

In research information systems, the various data areas are linked: publications are not only assigned to persons, but also projects, projects in turn are assigned to specific research areas. For this purpose, internal data sources of the university are also used, which offers added value compared to classic list formats and data providers such as Scopus or Web of Science.
