Editorial commentary
RIM is the broader term that contains the CRIS as one component. RIM also includes data governance, business processes (publication harvesting workflows, researcher-CV update cycles, REF/ERA submission preparation), integrations with HR and finance, stakeholder reporting, and bibliometric services. Where CRIS denotes the software system, RIM denotes the function.
