Managing Scholarly Research Output: The Smithsonian Institution Experience
The document discusses the Smithsonian Institution's approach to managing scholarly research output through Research Information Management (RIM), which aggregates and curates research data throughout a project's lifecycle. It emphasizes the importance of providing a central repository for institutional scholarship to enhance collaboration, compliance, and outreach, while also outlining the Smithsonian's commitment to increasing public access to federally funded research through various initiatives. The growth and diversity of publications from Smithsonian researchers are highlighted, alongside challenges in tracking and promoting research outcomes.

- 3. Research Information Management(RIM) Research information management (RIM) is the aggregation, curation, and utilization of information about research and is emerging as an area of increasing relevance in research institutions. RIM generally includes data from the entire life cycle of a research project, from grant application metadata to impact metrics for the research output. Providing a central repository of information about institutional scholarship and research activities and allows for efficient capture and reuse of data for further collaboration, promotion of research, and compliance with internal and external policies (such as open access policies).

- 34. Most research organizations,as well as agencies who regulate research, are struggling with the challenges of tracking and making available the results of research. The tools that Smithsonian Research Online, adapted from readily available sources, can serve as a model and adapted for use by some of these organizations.
- 35. The library communityis working to help researchers, administrators, funders, and others understand the value of the research within the research community and individual institutions, and the return on investment of research funding. that will need them simply to survive.
- 36. Perhaps most importantly,helping the general public understand the broader societal impacts of scholarly research may create a sympathetic environment for facts in a world that will need them simply to survive.
