Converis · Clarivate
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.
