EGRETA
What is EGRETA?
EGRETA is the research information management system of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB)
It is a versatile, interoperable and configurable software that allows managing research from the beginning to the end of its life cycle, keeping updated the data of publications and other research activities carried out by research staff.
It facilitates the connection between research activities, enhances the visibility of the research community and promotes data transparency.
It is synchronised with other data bases of the university, such as UAB Digital Repository of Documents (DDD), the Financial System (SUMMA) and the Human Resources System (HR). It also collects information from publications across multiple external sources.
Information can not only be imported but can also be entered manually to ensure that the scientific activity of the research staff is complete in their EGRETA profile.

-
It allows to export the research output to other databases such as DDD, ORCID or Portal de Recerca de Catalunya (PRC).
-
It enables the generation of reports for strategic decision making
On the other hand, system administrators (the Technological Research Office) are responsible for ensuring the quality of the scientific production data in the applicationn.
They analyse the information that is introduced to help achieve the objectives of research and knowledge transfer with the highest guarantee of quality. For example, they can prepare detailed reports on the scientific output of the UAB, awards or any type of collaboration with other entities.
EGRETA also serves to manage and track requests for awards, grants and concessions.
EGRETA can be accessed by the entire research community as well the technical management and administration and services staff, who perform research management tasks.
