Cataloguing and management of scientific output
Sapienza has adopted a university policy for Open Access as a strategic objective to increase the visibility, impact and social use of the results produced. Through the IRIS - Research Catalogue system, the University systematically collects the scientific output of teachers and researchers. Similarly, the “IRIS – AP Activities & Projects” component manages a single database of the University's contracted projects, research agreements and third mission, which is useful for transparency, dissemination and evaluation of activities.
