Abstract

The research ecosystem has changed in recent years, which requires long-term investment in digital infrastructure for research management in universities. The development of the Current Research Information System as well as the software for its implementation are essential for said management. The objective of this article is to carry out a bibliographic review on Scientific Information Management Systems and their use in universities. A descriptive study with a qualitative approach was carried out and the theoretical methods, bibliographic review and analysis-synthesis were used. The need to implement this type of systems is identified, as well as the functions, advantages, limitations, practices and software for its implementation in universities.
