Harvard IQSS
The Dataverse Project
The Dataverse Project is a widely-deployed open-source research-data repository platform, developed at Harvard's Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS) and run by many institutional and national installations worldwide (including DataverseNL, Demo Dataverse, and Harvard Dataverse). It mints DataCite DOIs for deposited datasets, organises metadata through configurable metadata blocks, and supports controlled vocabularies. Its contributor and author metadata fields make it relevant to CRediT-style contribution capture and to loading the CASRAI Dictionary as a controlled term set.
Integration guide →CERN
InvenioRDM
InvenioRDM is a CERN-led open-source research-data-management platform built on the Invenio framework; it is the software that powers Zenodo and a growing number of institutional turn-key RDM repositories. It mints DataCite DOIs, integrates ORCID and ROR, supports customisable metadata and communities, and exposes a REST API. Its creator/contributor metadata model maps naturally to CRediT roles, and its extensible vocabularies make it a strong fit for loading the CASRAI Dictionary.
Integration guide →Dryad
Dryad Digital Repository
Dryad is a non-profit, community-led, general-purpose data-curation repository that publishes and preserves research datasets across disciplines. Every dataset receives a DataCite DOI, and Dryad applies a human curation workflow before publication. It integrates ORCID and ROR for author and affiliation identifiers and promotes data-citation best practice, which makes its author and curation metadata relevant to CRediT contribution capture and to the CASRAI Dictionary's data-citation and curation terms.
Integration guide →Center for Open Science
OSF (Open Science Framework)
OSF (the Open Science Framework), built by the non-profit Center for Open Science, is a free, open project-management and collaboration platform for the research lifecycle. It supports preregistration, structured projects and components, file storage, and registrations, mints DOIs via DataCite, integrates ORCID for author identity, and connects to many external repositories and storage providers. Its contributor model and registration metadata make it relevant to CRediT contribution capture and to aligning project metadata with the CASRAI Dictionary.
Integration guide →Elsevier
Pure CRIS
Pure is one of the most widely-deployed Current Research Information Systems globally — used by ~400+ universities across the UK, EU, Australia, and increasingly North America. Pure ingests publication, grant, and contribution metadata from Scopus, ORCID, Crossref, and direct deposit. CRediT is supported as a contribution-type vocabulary; integration with the CASRAI Dictionary lets institutions augment Pure's controlled-vocabulary lists with the full CASRAI term set.
Integration guide →Symplectic
Symplectic Elements
Symplectic Elements (Digital Science) is a research-management platform used by ~250 institutions worldwide. Elements ingests publication metadata from Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Crossref, and ORCID; supports CRediT as a configurable contribution-type vocabulary; widely used in the UK + Ireland + Australia (LERU, Russell Group, ATN coverage strong).
Integration guide →DuraSpace community
VIVO (open-source)
VIVO is an open-source semantic-web research-information platform — used heavily in US AMCs, Cornell, Duke, UF, NIH, and elsewhere. RDF-native; supports SPARQL queries; CRediT integration via SKOS Concept mappings. Excellent fit for the CASRAI Dictionary because VIVO's ontology stack naturally consumes RDF Turtle / OWL.
Integration guide →Worktribe
Worktribe
Worktribe is a UK-headquartered research-management platform — strong adoption across UK universities (King's College London, Glasgow, Strathclyde, etc.). Combines grant management, ethics workflow, publication tracking, and REF reporting in one platform. CRediT supported via configurable vocabulary; CASRAI Dictionary integration via REST/GraphQL.
Integration guide →Aries Systems
Editorial Manager
Editorial Manager (Aries Systems, an Elsevier company) is the most widely-deployed submission-and-peer-review system for scholarly journals — used by Elsevier, Cell Press, BMC, Springer, and dozens of independent publishers. Native CRediT support since 2017 with structured per-author per-role capture at submission. Outputs JATS XML with CRediT roles tagged via NISO URIs.
Integration guide →Clarivate
ScholarOne Manuscripts
ScholarOne Manuscripts (Clarivate) is the second-most-deployed submission-and-peer-review system after Editorial Manager — used by Wiley, OUP, SAGE, AAAS (Science), Cambridge, and many society publishers. Full CRediT support since 2018 with structured capture; JATS XML output; Crossref deposit; ORCID integration.
Integration guide →Clarivate
Converis CRIS
Converis (Clarivate) is a Current Research Information System used by universities and research institutions across Europe — particularly Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Nordics — as well as further afield. Converis manages the full research lifecycle: projects, grants, publications, contributors, equipment, and reporting. It ingests publication metadata from Web of Science, ORCID, and Crossref, and is built on the CERIF data model, so it maps cleanly onto the CASRAI Dictionary's research-information vocabulary. CRediT can be configured as a contribution-role vocabulary in Converis contribution forms.
Integration guide →4Science / Lyrasis
DSpace-CRIS (open-source)
DSpace-CRIS is an open-source Current Research Information System built as an extension of DSpace, the most widely-deployed institutional-repository platform. Developed and maintained primarily by 4Science within the DSpace community (governed by Lyrasis), it adds research-entity layers — researcher profiles, projects, organisations, and funding — on top of DSpace's repository core. Being open-source and standards-led, it supports ORCID, OAI-PMH, and increasingly CRediT-style contributor roles, making it a natural fit for the CASRAI Dictionary's open RDF / JSON-LD vocabulary bundles.
Integration guide →Ex Libris (Clarivate)
Esploro
Esploro (Ex Libris, a Clarivate company) is a cloud research-services platform combining a research repository with research-information-management capabilities. It captures research outputs, researcher profiles, projects, and grants, and emphasises automated capture — pulling publication metadata from external sources and the institution's own systems with minimal researcher effort. Esploro integrates ORCID for researcher identity and mints / registers DOIs and exposes metadata for harvesting, so the CASRAI Dictionary can supply shared contributor-role and output vocabulary across its asset records.
Integration guide →Public Knowledge Project
Open Journal Systems (OJS)
Open Journal Systems (OJS) is free, open-source journal-management and publishing software from the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), used by tens of thousands of journals worldwide — especially scholar-led, society, and Global South open-access titles. OJS handles the full editorial workflow from submission through peer review to publication. It supports ORCID for author identity, registers DOIs via Crossref, and produces structured metadata and JATS XML, making it a key surface for capturing and exposing CRediT contributor roles in scholarly publishing.
Integration guide →EPrints Services (University of Southampton)
EPrints (open-source repository)
EPrints is one of the earliest and most widely-deployed open-source repository platforms, originally developed at the University of Southampton and now supported by EPrints Services. It is used by universities worldwide to host open-access publications, theses, and research data, and has long been a backbone of green open-access in the UK. EPrints exposes metadata via OAI-PMH, supports ORCID, and is highly configurable, so the CASRAI Dictionary can supply contributor-role and output vocabulary for its deposit and export workflows.
Integration guide →ORCID Inc.
ORCID
ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is an open, non-profit registry of unique persistent digital identifiers for researchers and contributors. Each ORCID iD is a 16-digit numeric identifier (format 0000-0000-0000-000X) that distinguishes a researcher unambiguously from others with similar names. ORCID iDs are mandatory or strongly recommended by major funders (NIH, Wellcome Trust, ERC, ARC, UKRI) and hundreds of journals; they integrate into grant systems, institutional repositories, publisher submission platforms, and CRIS systems. For CASRAI, ORCID is the canonical person-identifier layer underlying any CRediT contribution statement — each contributor's iD links their role to a verified, persistent researcher record.
Integration guide →Crossref
Crossref
Crossref is the official Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registration agency for scholarly content — the non-profit organisation that mints, resolves, and maintains DOIs for journal articles, books, conference papers, and other academic outputs. Beyond DOI registration, Crossref operates a suite of services: the Funder Registry (a controlled vocabulary of funding organisations), Cited-by linking (citation tracking), Similarity Check (Turnitin-powered plagiarism screening), Crossmark (record of corrections and retractions), and an open REST API holding over 150 million metadata records. Crossref is the primary channel through which CRediT contribution roles reach the permanent scholarly record — publishers deposit structured JATS XML containing per-author CRediT roles to Crossref at publication.
Integration guide →DataCite
DataCite
DataCite is an international non-profit organisation that provides DOI registration for research data, software, and other non-text research outputs. With over 45 million DOIs registered across its member repositories (Zenodo, Dryad, Figshare, OSF, and hundreds of institutional repositories), DataCite is the standard citation infrastructure for datasets. Its metadata schema (DataCite Metadata Schema, currently v4.x) includes contributor type and contributor role fields that map onto CRediT roles, making it the key conduit for attaching structured contribution statements to datasets and software. The DataCite PID Graph cross-links records with ORCID, Crossref, and ROR to build a connected scholarly knowledge graph.
Integration guide →ROR Community (Crossref, DataCite, ISNI, Digital Science)
ROR (Research Organisation Registry)
ROR (Research Organisation Registry) is a community-led, open registry of unique persistent identifiers for research organisations. Launched in 2019 through a partnership of Crossref, DataCite, ISNI, and Digital Science, it provides free, open, CC0-licensed data on over 110,000 research institutions worldwide. Each organisation receives a ROR ID in the format https://ror.org/XXXXXXX. ROR IDs are increasingly required in funder and publisher metadata to clean up affiliation strings, enabling accurate institutional tracking across publications, grants, and datasets. For CASRAI, ROR is the preferred persistent identifier for the organisation-entity layer, complementing ORCID for persons and DOIs for outputs.
Integration guide →CERN / OpenAIRE
Zenodo
Zenodo is a free, open-access general-purpose research repository operated by CERN with support from OpenAIRE and the European Commission. It accepts all research output types — datasets, software, presentations, reports, preprints, and publications — mints DataCite DOIs for each deposit, supports versioning, and integrates with GitHub for automatic software archival. Zenodo is OpenAIRE-compliant and free to use with no file-size limits, making it the default repository recommendation for researchers without access to a discipline-specific or institutional repository. For CASRAI, Zenodo is a key destination for datasets and software outputs that carry CRediT contribution statements in their README or metadata.
Integration guide →Digital Science
Figshare
Figshare is a cloud-based research repository operated by Digital Science, supporting public and private storage of datasets, figures, media, papers, posters, preprints, and code. It mints DataCite DOIs for published items, provides version history, and exposes usage metrics (views, downloads, citations). Institutional Figshare deployments allow universities to run branded research portals with their own branding and discovery. Figshare integrates with ORCID for authentication and contributor identity, and its API enables programmatic deposit and metadata retrieval. For CASRAI, Figshare is a target repository for data and software outputs with CRediT roles in contributor metadata.
Integration guide →OpenAIRE AMKE
OpenAIRE
OpenAIRE is a European open-science infrastructure that aggregates metadata of research publications, datasets, software, and other outputs from thousands of repositories and data sources, making them discoverable through the OpenAIRE Explore portal. It underpins Horizon Europe open-access mandate compliance, linking research outputs to grants via funder identifiers. OpenAIRE operates the OpenAIRE Graph — a comprehensive linked-data graph of research outputs, funders, organisations, and researchers — and provides the OpenAIRE Monitor for institutional and funder dashboards. Zenodo is a partner repository that is OpenAIRE-compliant by default. For CASRAI, OpenAIRE is a key discoverability and compliance layer for European-funded research carrying CRediT contribution metadata.
