Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between researcher characteristics and their use of metadata in their ResearchGate profiles. Design/methodology/approach This paper reports on one part of a larger study that examined researchers’ use of and engagement with research information management systems (RIMSs). The study’s design included qualitative, semi-structured interviews with 15 researchers and a survey completed by 412 researchers. Detailed reports of findings from the interviews and survey can be found elsewhere. This paper reports on the part of the study that analyzed the use of metadata elements in the ResearchGate profiles of 126 survey participants. Findings Most researchers shared metadata related to their research rather than their teaching or service. Statistical analyses revealed statistically significant relationships between researchers’ metadata use and their participation levels in RIMSs, as well as between metadata use and researchers’ seniority. Originality/value The study’s findings help to identify researchers’ priorities for different metadata elements, as well as to construct profile metadata templates for each specific participation level.

Information Management Systems

Research information management systems (RIMS) are the emerging new service in academic and research libraries. RIMS support universities and libraries in managing their institute, faculty, and researcher information through a single interface. They also allow the researcher to deposit and share their research with the public and enable the reuse of that research. An implementation of RIMS in universities or libraries ensures the proper management of research information for future use. RIMS disseminates research information and publications and supports data, academic, and administrative work by faculty and researchers. Traditionally, an institutional repository, digital library, and research data management software were used to manage research information as part of an institutional repository, but these applications have failed to manage more specialist researcher information and more detailed faculty profiles, etc. Consequently, various specialist software companies have brought RIMS onto the market with applications and products that meet the requirements of individual researchers, libraries, and universities in the management of research information. This chapter provides a comparative evaluation of RIMS (i.e., PURE-Elsevier, Converis-Thomson Routers, and Symplectic Elements). This study contributes towards an understanding of RIMS and assists with the selection of the appropriate software application for implementation of a RIMS system in universities and libraries.

This paper discusses Altmetric tools for institutions and how they are supported by accurate, up-to-date and re-usable research information. We examine the importance of standardised metadata formats across research information management systems in enabling altmetric providers to deliver data in robust, reliable and meaningful ways. We share our experience of collaborating with a range of institutions to report and analyse the attention to their collection of research outputs and surfacing altmetrics data at the author, department and institutional level. This includes working with institutions to ensure we can harvest from or integrate with existing technical infrastructure in order to match outputs with the corresponding altmetrics data in the Altmetric database. We discuss integrations with institutional repositories and publications systems including Symplectic Elements, VIVO and DSpace. Finally, we study motivations for incorporating metrics into workflows and systems across institutions, and how altmetrics can be integrated with existing research support and bibliometrics services.
