InCites API integration
Extract article-level contextualized bibliometrics from the Web of Science Core Collection™
Template migration
Migrate templates between servers, facilitating the copy of configurations from Test to Live, for example
Flexible research management
Different stakeholders have different needs – that’s why Converis offers more than just information on projects and publications. Converis offers a holistic approach, covering the complete research lifecycle from pre-award workflows to research output management. Converis comes with a powerful reporting tool, including embedded reports to view the information directly from within Converis, in addition to advanced reporting options and dashboards via Converis Research Analytics.
Linking institutional systems
Converis serves as a central integration hub for joining repositories, personal libraries, and institutional databases and systems, e.g. HR and finance. Converis links the various systems, capturing research-related information, creating standardization for profiles and CVs, and reducing the need for repeated data entry.
