Library Roles in Research Information Management: some emerging trendsConstance Malpas

��

University libraries can play an important role in research information management by supporting both the institution and individual researchers. For institutions, libraries can help manage research outputs and metadata to maximize visibility, reputation, and compliance with funder mandates. For researchers, libraries can support evolving workflows and help manage professional reputation. As research assessment regimes increase globally, libraries are well-positioned to manage author and organization identifiers, metadata flows, and activity data to demonstrate institutional research impact and performance. Opportunities for Japanese libraries include extending identifier resolution, leveraging the national research output view in JAIRO, and deepening engagement with research administration and processes.
