97:. While these two kinds of systems were once seen as competing with each other, nowadays they tend to work together via efficient mechanisms for information exchange around research outputs and their associated metadata. Recent developments in furthering the interoperability between these systems has led to their merging into a single CRIS/repository systems. This is the so-called CRIS/repository integration.

As mentioned in the “Practices and
Patterns” report, research assessment is one of the key drivers for the implementations of CRIS systems, especially at research-performing organisations. This is due to the need for all institutional research outputs to be collected and described in a standardised

way in a single institutional system that is also able to gather information on impact indicators. A particularly important example of this connection is the UK Research
Excellence Framework (REF), whose 2014 edition resulted in a widespread adoption of commercial CRIS systems by UK institutions.
120:
The scope of CRIS systems may be institutional, funder-operated, regional, national or supranational. From a system perspective, they can be commercial platforms provided by vendors, in-house-built systems or community-driven open source platforms. Most CRIS platforms have associated national- or

As a one-stop-shop for storing all the information related to the institutional research activity, CRIS systems play a key role in the area of research administration by institutional
Research Offices. Among many others, this involves aspects such as:

Where available, CRIS systems are often key components in the Open
Science implementation strategy at research-performing organisations due to their systematic use for collecting information on all research outputs produced at institutions.
