The data were taken from Indian Research Information Network System (http://irins.org/irins/) of 15 instances for the Academic and Research Organisations. The objectives of the article is to analyze the faculty members, department and their scholarly publications with citations and its impact. It is found that KL University, Guntur has highest 836 (17.22%) faculty member. The Indian Institute of Technology, Madras has received 278374 (26.28%) highest citations from Scopus and 227686 (22.30%) citations from Cross Ref. Keywords: Research Information System, Indian Research Information Network System (IRINS), Faculty Profiles, Research Information Management System, Profile Management System. 1. Introduction IRINS is web-based Research Information Management (RIM) developed by the Information and Library Network Centre (INFLIBNET) Gandhinagar in collaboration with Central University of Punjab. The portal facilitates the academic, R&D organizations and faculty members, scientists to collect, curate and showcase the scholarly communication activities and provide an opportunity to create the scholarly network. The IRINS is available as free softwareas-service to the academic and R&D organizations in India. Also, it supports the research administrator to prepare various reports based on the scholars, publications, citations and social media metrics, etc. 2. Review of Literature Kannan, P., Kimidi, S., & Arora, J. (2018)1 elaborated a unique Indian Research Information Network System (IRINS) which can be used as a common platform across all educational and research institutes in Indian higher education sector. The IRINS could be used effectively for efficiently measuring and benchmarking research output of individual institute as well as across institutions. Joachim Schöpfela., Hélène Prosta and Violane Rebouillat (2017)2 provided an overview of recent research and publications on the integration of research data in Current Research Information Systems (CRIS) and address three related issues, i.e. the object of evaluation, identifier schemes and conservation. Contributed to the debate on the evaluation of research data, especially in the environment of open science and open data, and will be helpful in implementing CRIS and research data policies. Kannan, P (2015)3 explained about the semantic technologies such as Resource Description Framework, Web Ontology Language, Open Linked Data. This article discussed about what is profile management system, how it is used in the scholarly communication, etc. The article is also emphasised on semantic-based profile management system called: VIVO and its architecture, data integration tools and major features and functionalities, etc. Nicholas Joint, (2008)4 focused an overview of larger developments in the international research information environment, and to outline their impact on the open access movement within libraries. It is found that the developments in the research landscape have important effects on grass-roots LIS practice, and have given a great boost to open access repositories while preserving the traditional role of commercial journal publications. This complementary relationship was completely unexpected at the outset of the open access movement, which was specifically intended to reduce the importance of commercial journal publications. Recommended that practitioner librarians must come to grips with the role of repositories within the CRIS environment, as well as the relationship of repositories to the local campus research information system. This article investigated trends in the broader research information environment which will be unfamiliar to many LIS practitioners, and puts them in the context of everyday professional practice. Devare, Medha, Rikert, Jon Corson, McCue, Janet, Chiang, Kathy, Lowe, Brian, & Caruso, Brian (2007)5 described the implementation of VIVO profile management system of life science communities. This helps to access for scholarly activity in the life sciences at Cornell – VIVO (http://vivo.library.cornell.edu) – transcends campus, college and department structure to provide Cornell faculty, students, and administrative and service officials, prospective faculty and students, external sponsors, and the public an integrated view of the life sciences at Cornell. It also provides the faculty profiles with affiliations to departments, fields, or research units, research projects, courses, seminars, and facilities relevant to life scientists regardless of the campus, college, or department in which the entity resides. Javed, Muhammad, Payette, Sandy, Blake, Jim, & Worrall, Tim (2016).6 described VIZ-VIVO, an extension for the VIVO framework that enables end-user exploration of a scholarly knowledge-base through a configurable set of data-driven visualizations. discussed process for selection, design, and development of an initial set of visualizations as well as approach to the underlying technical architecture. By engaging an initial set of pilot partners evaluated the use of these data-driven visualizations by multiple stakeholders, including faculty, students, librarians, administrators, and the public. 3. Research Methodology The data were collected from Indian Research Information Network System (IRINS) (http://irins.org/irins/) 7 of 15 as on 16th Feb 2019. The study is also aimed to analyze Implemented institutions and faculty based Scopus publications, Resource Impacts from various databases, various types of documents, top departments and top faculty publication & citations of individual institution. The Data were analyzed using Excel and using simple calculations. 4. Objectives of the Study These are the major objectives of the study. ❖ To analyze the faculty members and Scopus publications of IRINS implemented institutions. ❖ To find out the Resource Impact from various databases. ❖ To analyze various types of documents. ❖ To find out the contributions of top department of individual institution and h index. ❖ To find out the top faculty of individual institution and publications. 5.
