NISO Virtual Conference: Research Networks: The Connections Enabling Collaboration

Many in the community have heard about the Research Information Systems (RIS); the next phase of development for the RIS is to network researchers in the interest of building strategic research initiatives and effective collaborations. This conference will look at the vision for and the progress being made in various initiatives (VIVO, REACH NC, and others). How might research information systems become more tightly integrated with workflow applications? The data captured in an RIS system is significant and should be driving increased functionality and accruing value. The event will spotlight entities that foster -- through the development of resources or networks -- the ability of researchers to identify and connect with collaborators for their work.
