Open-Source RIMS for Institute Publication Archiving and Management

Abstract

The recent development in the institutional ranking by various magazines, private organizations, and government bodies has brought more importance to record management of research publication and research activity (Sunil, 2019). Libraries being the storehouse of knowledge, librarians own the responsibility of managing records about the institute intellectual output and provide data to meet the requirement by assessment, accreditation, survey, and decision-makers. This paper attempts to introduce some of the Research Information Management System (RIMS) tools available in the Open-Source platform to the librarian community. Further, this work discusses certain features that are identified as core or hygiene in RIMS.
