Managing your research group information in KI RIMS

Getting started

To edit your group’s information, log in to KI RIMS. 

Click on the menu (three horizontal lines) at the top left of the page. In the System Admin tab, select Group Management and click on Manage Groups.

If you know what the group is called in the organization tree, you can search for the name in the search field under Find a group. Or you can find your group via Group hierarchy and click on it.

The page you will come to is called Group details. It is divided into the following modules:

• Membership: This lists the members who belong to your group. The information is retrieved from Primula.
• Group record: Here you enter the name and the preamble/overview that the group should have on the ki.se page. You can also determine which members should be displayed under the Members tab by hiding or adding members.
• Related groups: This shows the group’s location in the organization tree. The information is retrieved from IDAC and cannot be changed in KI RIMS. If something is wrong, contact your department's IDAC administrator.
• Relationships: Here you select which grants should be displayed on your group’s page on ki.se, as well as which publications you want to appear under the Selected publications heading on the Publications tab. You can also specify whether the group has a specific contact person.
• Labels: Here you add research labels/keywords for increased visibility on the web.

IMPORTANT! Please refrain from modifying the settings of the group located in the top module (indicated by a box and a cross in the image below). Altering these settings may impact the visibility of your page on the site and cause some information to be hidden.

Group name and overview

Click on Edit record to enter editing mode. You can find it by clicking on the pencil icon in the lower right corner.

In this field you can enter the descriptive name of the group (for example: Clinical Cancer Epidemiology).

Group leader name and type of group

Enter the name of the group leader and the type of group (for example: Kalle Karlsson’s research group/lab/team).

Alternative names

If the group also has an alternative name or an acronym, you can add it here. Alternative names are not visible on ki.se but are used by search engines.

Preamble/Overview text

The preamble is a short summary that will be displayed at the top of the page. It helps the reader understand what the page is about and helps search engines find your group. Max 500 characters. For searchability and user-friendliness, all pages on ki.se, including research groups, should have an preamble. Make sure to not use a semicolon (;) in your text. 

Group leader and members

Click on edit and search again. Tips for finding the person:

• Check the person's personal profile page on ki.se and copy the name from there.
• Multiple last names? Try with a hyphen or only one of the last names. 
• Does the name have special characters? Try writing the name in a simplified version. For example: ñ = n, é=e, ü=u.
• Several people with the same name? Test each one until you find the right one.

If you still can’t find the person, contact KI RIMS support.

Members outside formal group

Add other people with connections to your group. For example, alumni, students, and staff from other groups/units. These will be displayed on your group page under the heading Other people with connections to the group on the Staff and Contact tab.

Members excluded from group page at ki.se

Here you can hide people who are organizationally part of your group but whom you do not want to list as members on your page on ki.se. Be careful to link to the right person as you do when linking the group leader. (see above)

Selected publications for the group

You can choose which publications that should appear under the Selected Publications heading on the Publication tab on the page. At least one group member must have the publication in their KI RIMS publication list with a visibility level set to ‘public.’ (How to manage publications in KI RIMS)

Selected research funding for the group

Label with research keywords

Using the labels feature to add keywords to your group is essential for visitors to find and access information about KI’s research on the web. Research topics will be visible on your group’s page on ki.se under the heading Keywords, but in KI RIMS, they are referred to as labels.

Labels from the Swedish standard for research subjects, as defined by SCB/UKÄ, are required on your group page for inclusion in the ki.se overview of KI’s research groups by subject. Choose at least one, max five such SCB/UKÄ research subjects when adding labels to your group. Try to choose labels with as much subject diversity as possible within the areas where you are active. 

At the bottom of the page Group details, you will find the module Labels, which handles research subject tags or keywords.

To add labels, click on Edit, start typing in the field to get suggestions and choose one or more options that suit the group. You can choose labels from MeSH and from the Swedish standard for research subjects from SCB/UKÄ. 

Click on Save when you are done.

Other settings

Research performing group

Navigate to the Group record module. Click on Edit Record (the pencil icon in the lower right corner).

Mark TRUE if your group is involved in research. This is necessary for your group page to be found in the upcoming research information filter search.

Mark FALSE if your group does not perform research. Groups marked as “false” are, for example, administrative groups/units.

Display all publications from group members 

Navigate to the Group record module. Click on Edit Record (the pencil icon in the lower right corner).

Mark TRUE if you like all publications from all group members to be displayed in a common list under the headline Publications on your group page on ki.se.

What happens when you are done in KI RIMS?

If you already have a group page on ki.se and have only edited the group’s information in KI RIMS, your changes will take effect shortly. 

If you don’t yet have a group page on ki.se, you can now contact the web editor at your department so that they can create a complete page in the web publishing system (Drupal) and then publish it on ki.se.

In the web publishing system it is possible to add pictures, texts and other additional content. As a group leader you are always responsible for the material published on your group’s page, however the web editor can help you to add it. 

If any information is incorrect or missing in KI RIMS

Only groups that are in Primula’s organizational tree are in KI RIMS. If your group is missing, contact your institution. If any information in the organizational tree or members of the group is incorrect, contact your department's IDAC administrator.

Can non-group leaders edit KI RIMS research group information?

The right to edit the information about a research group in KI RIMS is automatically assigned to the group leader. If someone who is not the head of a group needs this role, they can now apply for that authorisation role via IDAC. More information and instructions can be found on the page Roles and permissions in KI RIMS.
