A report has recently been issued on the results of a survey by the European University Information Systems Organization and euroCRIS on information systems (particularly Current Research Information Systems, or CRISs, and Institutional Repositories) supporting research. See http://www.eurocris.org/news/cris-ir-survey-report for background and a link to the report.
My thanks to Kathleen Shearer at COAR for the pointer to this work.
