The Institutional Research Information System (IRIS) provides a way for researchers in UCC to create and maintain an online research profile with details of their background, interests, publications, projects, and other involvements. The profile can be selectively published to the web, with only the relevant details included, and can be included automatically in the researcher's departmental, school, faculty, college, or project web site. Profiles can also be formatted as CVs for submission as part of funding applications, project plans, and consortium formations. The profiles form a part of UCC's and the individual's research record, and can be used for the evaluation of institutional and individual research achievement. IRIS does not currently contain details on research funding.
The new Institutional Research Information System replaces the previous InfoEd system, and all data from there has been transferred into the new system, along with all the data gathered in the 2009 Research Quality Review (Appendix A) documents. The initial phase of deployment involves a small number of pilot departments, and the system will become generally available on a phased basis during 2010.

3. Editing and publishing your profile
To select information for publishing in your Profile or for generating a CV, click on the Publish Profile link in the red menu bar towards the top of the window. There are three steps to the process:
In this step you can select what you want to appear in your Profile by clicking the checkbox at the right of the entry within the sections listed in the second red menu bar.
These correspond to the sections listed in the Edit Profile menu, explained in section 2, ‘Updating your profile’ above, namely Home, Research, Publications, Professional, Teaching, and Collaborators.
If you want to select all the entries in a section, click on the button; otherwise click the checkbox at the right of the entry. As you finish each section, click on the button to add the selected entries to your Profile.
This step lets you preview what will be published, and it allows you to re-order the subsections within the Home, Research, Publications, Professional, Teaching, and Collaborators sections.
Use the Up and Down arrows after the title of each section to raise or lower them in the order. In Publications you can also re-order the individual publications using the Up and Down arrows beside the sequence number at the end of each citation.
Note that you cannot change the order of the major sections Home, Research, Publications, Professional, Teaching, and Collaborators themselves, only the order of the subsections within them.
The final step is to publish your Profile to the UCC web site. This will appear in the Research Profiles section of the Office of the Vice-President for Research and in the Research Profiles section of the web pages for your department, school, faculty, college, or project.
You can also generate a CV in a format that can be edited with a wordprocessor such as OpenOffice or Microsoft Word so that you can tailor it to specific purposes such as inclusion in a funding bid, an application for a position, or participation in a consortium.
To publish your Profile to the web site, click on the button.
There is an option to click for the inclusion of your Profile in the Expertise Ireland web site (where the profiles from InfoEd were published).
To download your entire Profile to Microsoft Word (or other wordprocessor), click on the button.
This generates an RTF file which can be edited in any wordprocessor. It includes all the information in your Profile, not just the selection you chose for the web in step 1 in this procedure above.
Published profiles appear at http://publish.ucc.ie/researchprofiles/.
⇛ The grouping ‘More publications’ is only used in the IRIS application to save menu space because the list is very long. When your profile is published to the web, each publication type is presented separately, and the heading ‘More Publications’ is not used.
