Adoption of CERIF in Higher Education Institutions in the UK: A Landscape Study by Rosemary Russell of UKOLN has just been published and is available in both PDF and Word formats. This study documents the extent of adoption and engagement with CERIF in UK Higher Education institutions (HEIs) in late 2011/early 2012. CERIF, the Common European Research Information Format provides a standardised way of managing and exchanging information about research. 51 institutions in the UK are using CERIF Current Research Information Systems (CRIS), indicating a 30.7% adoption of CERIF. However despite the widespread use of CERIF as an underlying standard, many institutions are not engaging with CERIF directly.

The JISC-funded CERIFy Project in which the lead partners are UKOLN and Trinity College Dublin, has announced the opening of its Web site. The CERIFy Project is funded by JISC from February to July 2011 to investigate how the CERIF (Common European Research Information Format) standard for Current Research Information Systems (CRISs) could be used more widely within the sector to manage research data, to increase such engagement to a critical mass, and to support an emerging community of practice in Research Information Management (RIM). Further information on CERIF, CERIFy and its partner institutions is available from the CERIFy Web site.
