Feedback from stakeholders on the Publications Module and Researcher Portal

Please take note of the following protocols:

  • Future enhancements: Will require feasibility assessment considering tool constraints and business needs
  • July release : will be part of the July release of RIMS publications
  • Tool constraints : Converis does not support the change required
  • N/A : Not applicable based on feedback received from stakeholders
