CASRAI standards for engineering & technology research
Engineering and technology research has its own publishing culture: peer-reviewed conference proceedings (notably IEEE and ACM venues) carry substantial weight, and software, datasets, standards, and patents are important research outputs alongside articles. Industry collaboration and reproducibility of code are central concerns. CASRAI vocabulary helps these communities attribute software and dataset contributions, describe non-article outputs, and align with persistent-identifier practice.

What this sector cares about
Key research-administration concerns
- Conference-proceedings-heavy publishing (IEEE, ACM) as primary outputs
- Software and datasets as first-class, citable research outputs
- Reproducibility of code and computational results
- Standards and patents as research outputs and contributions
- Industry-academia collaboration and contribution attribution
- Persistent identifiers for software, datasets, and contributors
