DSpace-CRIS provides several key features for managing research information including a flexible data model, navigation options, usage statistics, ORCID integration, support for datasets, and a CKAN integration add-on. It also offers improvements to item management like additional validation and lookup services during submission, duplication alerts, and a merge tool.

2. Flexible data model
DSpace-CRIS enables you to build a data model tailored on
your needs

3. Naviga,on
Global search

4. Infographics

5. Top objects
using several criteria

6. Tabs

Fields

13. • It can be performed via UI and exported to xls
• It can be imported from XLS files
Data model configura@on

14. BeBer usage sta@s@cs
DSpace-CRIS enables you to explore and visualize the usage
sta,s,cs

15. Internal usage sta,s,cs are available at all levels of hierarchy,
including the whole repository

16. Internal usage sta,s,cs are available at all levels of hierarchy,
including the whole repository

17. Internal usage sta,s,cs are available to all levels of hierarchy,
including the whole repository

18. …other on the usage sta@s@cs
• Available also for CRIS objects
• Include aggregated sta,s,cs of linked items also
indirectly referenced (for example viewing the sta,s,cs
of an OrgUnit it is possible to include the sta,s,cs of
items authored by researcher affiliated to the OrgUnit)
• Can be “converted” in metrics allowing sor,ng, top
items components
• Periodically sent to the users (email subscrip,on or
RSS)
• Responsive to repository and metadata changes

19. ORCID Integra@on
DSpace-CRIS provides the most effec,ve integra,on with
ORCID for both public and member APIs

20. Login via ORCID iD
also for external
co-authors (if liked)
Lookup the registry
Transfer informa,on from the repository
to the ORCID Registry and viceversa
Connect local profile with the ORCID registry
Create new record - facilitate the crea,on
of new ORCID records for researchers

21. ORCiD login
By default a new Researcher Profile can be
immediately created capturing information from
ORCID

22. ORCiD Registry Lookup
A local profile is created at the end of the process

23. Connect existent profiles to ORCiD
From his Researcher Page, via the specific “tab”
ORCiD preferences it is possible to check and
connect the local profile to ORCiD

24. Connect existent profiles to ORCiD

25. ORCiD Synchroniza@on preferences

26. Synchroniza@on queue

Synchroniza,on ac,vated
Manual PUSH

28. Claim a researcher profile

29. DSpace-CRIS for dataset
DSpace-CRIS provides unique value to manage datasets in a
DSpace repository together with the publica,ons based-on
them

32. CKAN Integra@on Add-On
• CKAN: widey adopted Open Source Data Repository enabling
open data
• Great! your researcher will be so happy to use another
tool…?!?
• The module adds the CKAN open
data unique features to DSpace
and DSpace-CRIS avoiding
researchers to use another tool
• Easy to link publica,ons, persons,
projects with the dataset
• Stronger long term preserva,on
strategy, dataset versioning

33. CKAN Add-On Module: preview tabular & geospa@al data

34. CKAN Add-On Module: preview tabular & geospa@al data
Paginated and filterable

36. CKAN Integra@on Add-On: architecture
DMZ
proxing
• Open access
• Embargo
• Restricted
Can be integrated
with LTP strategy
Open Source, get it from GitHub!

37. • DSpace-CKAN is the first implementa,on of an new
extension point introduced with DSpace-CRIS 5.6:
viewers framework
• Adding the metadata bitstream.viewer.provider to
a bitstream the UI knows that a dedicated
visualiza,on exist
• New viewers can be easily added as spring beans
• We are looking for some support to release other
in open source:
hgps://www.4science.it/en/dspace-add-ons/
Viewers framework

38. Improved item management
DSpace-CRIS provides improvements to the submission
process and the edi,ng of metadata

39. • Addi,onal submission lookup providers: Scopus,
SciVal, Web of Knowledge, PubMed Europe
• New input types: number, year, year_noinprint
• Field valida,on via regex
• SOLRSuggestAuthority: proposes previous used
terms
• Template service to build dynamic prefilled values
• Valida,on framework for addi,onal / complex
valida,on
Submission improvements

40. • Item can be edited using the same UI available in
submission/workflow
• Metadata of all the DSpace objects can be edited
via UI (administra,ve mode) – item / bundles /
bitstreams clearly listed in the item edit page
Improved edi@ng

41. • System prompts poten,al duplicate during
submission and workflow
Duplica@on alert

42. Deduplica@on dashboard

43. Deduplica@on dashboard

44. Deduplica@on dashboard

45. Merge tool

46. • Scripts are provided to query periodically the
following bibliographic databases for publica,on of
the ins,tu,on
• PubMed Europe
• Scopus
• Web of Science
• Records are mapped to the DSpace internal
metadata schema and queue in the DBMS Border
tables to be imported
• Deduplica,on can be used to merge found records
in mul,ple sources or previously entered
Scanning of external databases

47. • Improved authoriza,on model for CRIS en,,es, tab
& box limited to specific users and groups
• Ability to create rich Objects during the submission
• On-demand DOI registra,on
Other new func@onali@es in DSpace-CRIS
