Overview

Research Management System (aka RMS) enables research and academic staff to maintain an up-to-date Researcher Profile to showcase their research expertise on external facing UCD websites.

The system is used to create Researcher Profile pages on UCD School and Institutional websites. The publically available profiles are used by academics, industry, and other organisations to identify potential collaborators for research projects, and by potential students to identify supervisors. Some features of the system include:

• Automatic harvesting from Scopus, Orcid, Web of Science, arXiv, PubMed etc
• Automatic updates from University systems including HR Core, Banner Student Information System
• Seamless integration with the Research Repository UCD - http://researchrepository.ucd.ie/. When uploading publications to RMS researchers can add the final draft version for upload to the Research Repository UCD. Step by step guide and Video on How to upload a paper in Research Repository UCD.
  
• Feeds for researcher profiles on websites - https://people.ucd.ie/.
