Some of your research outputs are automatically retrieved from databases, mainly from Scopus and IHP (Haifa index to Hebrew periodicals).
Please note that publications in journals covered in Scopus or IHP may take several months from the online publication date to the automatic appearance in CRIS.
Nevertheless, it is recommended to wait for the automatic retrieval of research outputs rather than uploading them manually in order to avoid mistakes and ensure correct automatic updating of the information.
Publications not covered in Scopus or IHP should be added manually to CRIS.
