CRIS systems are highlighted as "a key factor for the successful monitoring of OA publications" in the recently published Knowledge Exchange report "Consensus on
monitoring Open Access publications and cost data".
The report is published in the framework of the work around Open Access Monitoring carried out by the KE and summarizes the discussions on monitoring OA implementation and its associated costs held last November at the KE workshop in Copenhagen.
The report includes recommendations on CRIS system interoperability such as improving CRIS/repository integration, ensuring that CRIS systems meet the OpenAIRE interoperability guidelines and creating links between institutional finance systems and CRIS systems.
