Mission
• Ensure the creation and sustained development of a national integrated information ecosystem (PTCRIS) to support research management
3
Goals• Define the regulatory framework to be adopted by the
various systems
• Coordinate system integration within FCT in accordance with the regulatory framework
• Coordinate the integration of external systems (national and international) with FCT in accordance with the regulatory framework
• Support and promote the usage of the various systems in the national research community

1. Provider of unique research identifiers
2. Synchronization hub for research outputs

Unique IDs

Current situation• ORCID is mandatory for researchers wanting to
apply for FCT funding
• Around 22.000 researchers have their ORCID registered at FCT|SIG (+63% since last national REF)
• Several other systems can also register the ORCID (for example, around 6000 users have their ORCID registered at the CV management system)

Our problem
• Research outcomes scattered through various (national and international) services and data formats
• Heavy burden on researchers and managers
• Inconsistent information and impact assessment
12
Our goal
• Input once, reuse often!
• Automatic synchronization between services

A non solution
• Many synchronization procedures per service
• Implementation and maintainability nightmare
• No clear flow to achieve global consistency
• No consistent ORCID synchronization behavior

Our solution
• One synchronization procedure per service
• Easier to implement and maintain
• Clear flow to achieve global consistency
• Consistent behavior across all PTCRIS systems
17
Why ORCID?
• High coverage of predefined requirements
• High interoperability with external sources
• High coverage of the national research community
• Sustainable and open source

national CRIS ecosystem: paper describing the design methodology, presented at the 2015 ORCID CASRAI joint conference

19
Current situation• Certified implementation of the synchronization protocol
at the CV management system and OA aggregator expected to go live soon (already demoed in Feb 2015)
• Implementations at several local CRIS will follow
• Working with CINECA on a new version of the protocol to be implemented in DSpace CRIS
• Funding database provided by FCT to ÜberResearch (around 2000 national researchers already imported grants to ORCID)
