Maybe you’re well-versed in RIM systems but eager to explore fresh use cases or ways to optimize their potential?

In today’s fast-paced academic landscape, managing research data efficiently is paramount.

A Research Information Management System (RIM – also known as Current Research Information Systems or CRIS in Europe, and sometimes as Faculty Information Systems or FIS in North America) serves as a comprehensive solution, streamlining the process of collecting, organizing, and disseminating research information across your institution.

Join us for this webinar primer where we will explore the benefits of RIMS and their transformative potential for academic institutions like yours.

During this webinar, you will:

• Discover What a RIM is: Gain a comprehensive understanding of what constitutes a Research Information Management System and how it functions within academic settings.
• Explore Benefits for Academic Institutions: Learn about the myriad benefits that RIM solutions offer, including collation and reuse of faculty data, improved visibility of research outputs and researchers, and streamlined reporting processes.
• Real-World Use Cases: Explore real-world examples of how leading academic institutions have leveraged RIM systems to optimize their research management workflows and drive impactful outcomes.

Whether you are an academic administrator, research professional, or digital transformation officer, this webinar promises valuable insights into the potential of RIM systems to revolutionize the way research is conducted and managed within your institution.

When two years ago, we at Altmetrics decided to improve diversity by reworking our pipeline to include languages, we became interested in understanding whether the different languages describe a broader view of ‘research’ and – separately – whether academics trust Wikipedia.

Today, Altmetric can track dozens of languages, including English, Spanish, German, Chinese/Mandarin, Japanese, and many more.

Watch our webinar and learn how our research has confirmed that different languages contribute a unique voice to the representation of research and trust.
