Integrations

Step-by-step integration guides for the platforms institutions and publishers actually use — CRIS systems (Pure, Symplectic Elements, VIVO, Worktribe) and editorial systems (Editorial Manager, ScholarOne). Each guide documents which CASRAI endpoints to use, integration steps, and the operational gotchas.

By platform

Pick your system

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.

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).

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.

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.
