Abstract
This paper describes the history and developments of research infrastructures and open science policies in Turkiye. Moreover, it focuses on the GCRIS (Grand Current Research Information Systems), Turkiye's first Research Information System by inter-national standards, emphasizing the need for internationally interoperable research infrastructures in Turkiye. GCRIS Research Information System, implemented on the open-source software DSpace-CRIS 6.3, was developed with data analytics in mind and continues to be improved by Research Ecosystems Inc. As a strategic partner, Izmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH) is the first university to use GCRIS. Other Universities have used GCRIS since then. With the increase in the number of universities using GCRIS, Turkiye's Research Ecosystem will be trackable and measurable much better thanks to GCRIS intelligent reporting sys- tem. Most importantly, not only the research outputs of Turkiye will be more visible, but also research infrastructures' integration will facilitate with the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) and other initiatives worldwide.
