In order to examine how research institutions in Ukraine are applying research information management practices, The State Scientific and Technical Library of Ukraine with Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine to conduct a web-based survey that was administered from September 2020 through November 2020, yielding 1200 responses from 80 institutions of higher education, demonstrating the national nature of research information management activities.
Survey results details the complexity of research information management practices and examines how not commercial and open-source platforms are becoming widely implemented across regions, coexisting with a large number of region-specific solutions as well as locally developed systems.
It also considers the urgent need for system-to-system interoperability - with both internal and external systems - and demonstrates how the use of identifiers, standards, and protocols are perceived as most valuable when they can also facilitate interoperability.
The growing need for improved interoperability between managing open access workflows and the curation of institutional research outputs metadata is giving rise to the increasing functional merging of research information management systems and institutional repositories and further reinforcing the need for complex, cross-stakeholder teams to support institutional RIM activities, commonly featuring research institutions, and increasingly, the library.
