eNauka – CRIS in Serbia

Abstract

The paper presents the basic entities and functionalities of eNauka - a publicly visible information system and portal created to provide an overview of scientific research activities in Serbia. The legal basis for the existence of such a system is described in detail, as well as all the sources from which data are collected/harvested in eNauka. For each of the sources, the shortcomings that have become apparent due to a large traffic, especially enhanced visibility, are also listed. Additionally, the paper describes the process of introducing eNauka into full production (enabling all functionalities for all end-users’ roles), as well as experiences during training and end-user support implementation. Finally, the paper discusses future plans for improvement and conditions for its sustainability
