National Open Access Scientific Articles Registration System (NOSARS)

Research information is becoming increasingly important in the knowledge societies. In Islamic Republic of Iran, a national current research information system has been established to manage all research information. Scientific journal articles, as the outputs of the research, are one of the main entities in CRISes. In this paper, we show the process of the establishment of our National Open-access Scientific Articles Registration System. We have proposed to employ registration process for collecting all related articles. Our experience shows that this method has achieved a great success in establishment of a complete, current and valid NOSARS. © 2014 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
