3. How can we solve it?
Our open solutions (open standards,open protocols,
open source) are designed to support open science.
Open knowledge helps to solve, by collaboration,the
world’s very pressing problems, and creates
new opportunities, especially when cross-disciplinary.
The issue that institutions are facing
Proprietary productsoften come with expensive licenses and pricing fluctuations,can become obsolescent and can
result in vendor-lock-in

At 4Science OUR AIM is to enable the implementation of important policies of
Open Research, Research Impact and Digital Preservation.

32. Success Stories of Institutions Using DSpace-
CRIS: PeruCRIS
PeruCRIS
• the national repository of scholarly research in Peru, has been using DSpace-
CRIS to manage and share their research data in interinstitutional projects.
With DSpace-CRIS
• Easily upload and organize their data, making it accessible to researchers and
institutions around the world.
• Additionally, DSpace-CRIS's shared reporting engine has allowed PeruCRIS to
easily understand the contributions of each institution in their
interinstitutional projects.

33. UCD DUBLIN
based on DSpace-CRIS 7, is a digital
collection of open access scholarly
research publications. It collects,
preserves and disseminates freely
available publications including peer-
reviewed articles, working papers and
conference papers created by UCD
researchers.
4Science also developed a statistic
and analysis module, based on the
data collected in the SOLR statistics
core, enriched to provide an easy join
between statistical data and content
metadata, allowing aggregation by
community, collection, submitter,
author, etc.

34. Fraunhofer-Publica
a CRIS system to replace the current
repository Publica, to collect, manage,
preserve, and disseminate the intellectual
output of the Fraunhofer’s institutes and
the information about the entities that
populate the Fraunhofer’s research
domain.
The solution was designed and modelled to
be integrated and interoperable with all
data sources, both external and internal,
such as ORCID, bibliographic and
bibliometric databases, HR and IDM
systems, and more. Publica is based on
DSpace-CRIS
7: https://publica.fraunhofer.de/.
