Removing the limitations on your research with Cayuse

Cayuse understands the amount of effort involved in submitting to the REF, and strongly believe that you should be able to leverage the existing data held within your Repository/CRIS system to make that process easier and simpler.

Please join our speakers, Taylor Mudd, Cayuse Senior Repository Developer and Richard Forrest, Cayuse’s Senior VP as they outline best practices for streamlining repository management;  helping alleviate the stressful demands of REF reporting using the Cayuse Repository as a case study.

In this session we will cover:-

Data models: The value of using a linked data model to ensure researchers are correctly attributed for their work,  as well as clearly displaying which of their outputs will/could/should be submitted to REF. 

Version control: How keeping track of large changes and who made them eradicates the need for data to be 100% correct and complete before entry into the repository, and allows iterative improvement.

Permissions: Minimising change requests through fine grained role based permissions, including the ability to define permissions based on roles at a given point in the university organisational unit hierarchy. 

Integrations: Collaborating in a controlled manner through carefully designed mediated interfaces to minimise administrative burden – including integrations with the REF submission system.

Repositories for different use cases: One information system as a core design principle. Flexibility to satisfy many different requirements – including storing traditional, non-traditional, and research data outputs within a single repository.

Ideal user experience:  The impact of built in workflow systems supported by customisable guidance to ensure ease of use for everyone involved and prepared throughout the REF period.
