#Perucris Platform
The National Information Network on STI is established from the interoperability of 
the information management systems of Peruvian institutions: public and private A subsystem allows for institutions 
universities, public research institutes, public project funding agencies/programs, to have private entities collections 
among others. under their own private 
communities, wherein they are 
able to bulk import or directly edit 
information to be submitted to the 
public main directories.
Custom connectors for national 
interoperability (national ID 
registry - RENIEC, national degrees 
database - SUNEDU, national 
institutions tax database - SUNAT) 
and other bibliographic sources 
(Scopus, Web of Science REST API, 
and Latin American SciELO 
collections). 
#PeruCRIS Platform goes beyond 
mere aggregation, supporting 
data normalization, enrichment 
and curation for collected data, 
and direct editing in the 
Directories.
