Thomson Reuters has announced a new partnership with Russia's MISiS National University of Science and Technology to effectively manage the University's research workflow.
MISiS National University of Science and Technology is Russia's first higher education institution to use Thomson Reuters' state-of-the-art research scientific information management system Converis. This solution is offered by the Intellectual Property & Scientific business of Thomson Reuters.
The new partnership aims to help MISiS manage the research lifecycle more efficiently and increase the University's global research impact, thus boosting its international competitive advantage.
MISiS partnership with Thomson Reuters signifies the implementation of the first project designed to integrate a full-scale scientific data management system at the University. As part of the partner agreement with Thomson Reuters, MISiS already uses the leading Thomson Reuters research and analytics tools, including the company's flagship solutions Web of Science and InCites.
Converis is a research information management system that can manage the complete research lifecycle, from the earliest due diligence in the grant process through the final publication and application of research results. Converis allows for understanding the full scope of an organisation's contributions by building scholarly profiles based on publishing and citations and specifically tracking success within an organisation by layering in institutional data.

In 2014 MISiS was included in TOP 100 universities in the BRICS countries and in the QS educational ranking of the world's best universities.
